A new comedy/horror short-film called Gargalese will premier 
this Saturday at the Portage Theater in Chicago. It is produced by my good friends Laura Szymber and Brian Kallies at Axiom. The new film will be part of an evening of horror classics at the Portage:
- 7pm Nosferatu (1922)
- 8:45pm Gargalese (2009)
- 9:15 The Brides of Dracula (1960)
It should be an awesome evening for people who like horror movies.
I’ll post the Axiom press release and a clip of Gargalese below.
