ABOUT | LATIN HORROR

"SCARING UP A ¡REVOLUCIÓN!"

LATIN HORROR (LH) is the first English-language website dedicated to the genre of Latin horror and features the leading Latin/Spanish/International "dark creative expressionists" working in film, theater, music, photography, illustration, graphic novels, "dark art" novelas, comic books, literature, and games—from the seasoned masters—to the up-and-coming Latin horrorphile whose work is grounded in horror, the macabre, and gothic arts.

LATIN HORROR was founded in early 2008 by filmmaker/curator Edwin Pagán, and officially launched in the fall on Halloween as an online niche market website specializing in Latin-influenced horror, its documentation, and promotion as a distinct and valid genre.

OUR CORE BELIEF:
LATIN HORROR was created to fill the void for the millions of horrorphiles of Latin horror, as well as the "Dark Creative Expressionist" working in the genre, whose lifestyle and work is grounded in horror, the macabre, and Gothic arts. LATIN HORROR was the first to put the focus on Latin horror as a distinct genre and has been at the forefront of the revolución of having it recognized as such throughout the industry, while also creating a new niche market.

In short, LATIN HORROR is the innovator in the Latin horror space and "The Official Home of Latin Horrorphiles Everywhere." Join us in this revolución.

ON THE HORRIZON / DIRECTOR'S SINEMA SPOTLIGHT -

On The Horrizon (OTH) is a review-style feature that brings crucial independent films before they reach the multiplex cinema or local indie arthouse. A unique component of OTH is the fact that we not only cover the established auteur, but also the up-and-coming, emerging filmmaker - especially during the formative years of their development. The film work covered includes trailers and teasers, film festival cuts, and final, locked versions of the work. In some cases—when a particular work catches our fancy—we keep you up-to-date on the project as it develops from script-to-screen, further documenting not only the film's development but also that of the filmmaker as an artist.

Director's SINema Spotlight (DSS) was inaugurated on July 2, 2009. DSS primarily features the work of an emerging filmmaker working in horror who's demonstrated a consistent degree of creative vision and is already leaving his/her personal imprint on the medium and genre. The body work (a mix of shorts and/or feature) is featured in an exclusive retrospectare that celebrates their formative work (as apposed to a review of their lifetime's work). Among the filmmakers whose work has been showcased in Director's SINema Spotlight banner are Rodrigo Gudiño (Toronto) and Jose Zambranco Cassella (Florida).
