8 Films To Die For 2007 (What Happened, Jeff?)

WTF? The Dudes of Horror came into existence as a result of the original "8 Films To Die For" horror film festival in 2006- so how in the hell could this site allow the 2007 event to go by without so much as a single post?

Well first off allow me to apologize to you, dear reader, for dying. Your humble defacto site administrator was buried six feet under for several months and by the time he was reanimated and subsequently rejoined the ranks of the living there simply was no time to plan and organize an excursion to allow the Dudes of Horror to see and review the 2007 festival as it happened.

So what are you going to do about this? Huh?

Well if Cher ever returns any of my calls, I'll travel back to November 9th, 2007 and post reviews straight from the theater. I'll even buy seats for all of our site's regular readers. (ha!)

Failing that, the Dudes will resort to our Triple-A Backup Plan!

The Triple-A Backup Plan

1. Acquire all eight of the 2007 films when they become available on DVD


2. Assemble as many of the Dudes together in one spot with the 8 DVDs


3. Assess the films and post our reviews

When will this happen? We have no idea. The 2006 films didn't hit DVD shelves until the following March. The "fan favorite" film (The Abandoned) was re-released in theaters and show up on DVD until June. So it could be a while if the 2007 films follow the same DVD release schedule as 2006.

One thing we could do in the meantime is dig up the two "bonus films" from 2006: Snoop Dogg's Hood of Horror and The Tripper. I, for one, would love to see a film written by, produced by, directed by, and starring David Arquette which features both Paul Reubens and Jason Mewes as actors. Sign me UP!

Another thing we can do is look out for the film Frontières which was originally supposed to be part of the 2007 line-up but received an NC-17 rating and is now being released separately.

For right now, there is a list below of the 8 Films from 2007 and links to their entries on IMDB so you can go read inferior reviews until ours come out! You can also read back over some of the great reviews that were made while I was rotting in the grave. I have spruced these up with poster images and George Rating icons- so if you didn't read them before, then now is the time to catch up!

Opera (reviewed by Karl)

Super-thanks to both Karl and The Jesus for keeping the content coming in while I crawled my way back to the earth's surface!
