Ominous Events: The Horror Fests & Cons Database

About Me

I'm Mike Boas, and I run the Ominous Events website at www.Ominous-Events.com (part of the Mad Dog Movies network).
The purpose of this page is to act as a MySpace hub for horror conventions and film festivals.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

If you run a horror-themed film festival, convention, or film series, send me an add request! While you're at it, send me a message to get my attention. Once I add you, feel free to post your banners and details in the comments section.
Sorry, this page DOES NOT ACCEPT any friend requests from "civilians" at this time. Please, HORROR FESTIVALS AND CONVENTIONS ONLY. If you're a filmmaker, I'd encourage you to bookmark this page or visit the Horror Fests & Cons Database at Ominous-Events.com
If you really, really want to be my friend, visit my other profile at myspace.com/maddogmovies
