October 23 to Become National Horror Movie Day

In an exciting development for horror film buffs, Black Vortex Cinema, the creative minds behind “My Favorite Horror Movie,” have officially declared October 23 as National Horror Movie Day.
This annual celebration is dedicated to honoring the captivating world of horror cinema, and it coincides with the birthday of legendary director Sam Raimi. The announcement marks a significant step towards recognising the cultural importance and lasting impact of the horror genre in the film industry.

National Horror Movie Day was conceived by Christian Ackerman, the founder of this cinematic celebration. A passionate devotee of horror films, Ackerman wanted to establish a special day for horror fans to come together and celebrate horror movies in all their bloody glory.

“As someone who takes great pride in my love of horror, I wanted to find a day each year for everyone to gather in a dark room and experience cinema the way it should be: with screeching chainsaws and shrieking teenagers,” said Ackerman. His vision for this day was shared and embraced by his collaborators, including Chuck Foster, Felissa Rose, Josh McKevitt, and Sean Decker.

The choice of October 23 for National Horror Movie Day was not arbitrary. Ackerman and his team were keen to pick a date that resonated with the essence of horror and Halloween season. They discovered that this date also marks the birthday of Sam Raimi, a cinematic icon known for his significant contributions to horror.

At the recent Son of Monsterpalooza convention in Burbank, California, Ackerman and Felissa Rose, a prominent figure in the horror film industry, presented Sam Raimi with a special declaration of National Horror Movie Day. Raimi was delighted and honored to have this day officially associated with his birthday. Ackerman expressed his admiration, stating, “As someone who is endlessly inspired by the Evil Dead universe and especially a masterpiece like Drag Me to Hell, it was wonderful to honour him.”

Horror star Felissa Rose shared her excitement about the newly declared day, saying, “Horror fans are the best, and I’m super excited to have an official day to share with them. If you don’t find me in a theater every October 23rd, I’ll be curled up on my couch to enjoy a good scare with my family!”

National Horror Movie Day is more than just a day to watch scary movies; it’s a celebration of the artistry and creativity that go into making horror films. The founders of Black Vortex Cinema have dedicated themselves to spreading the love of horror throughout the world so that it can be enjoyed by all. Their contributions, whether through producing films like “Night of the Bastard” or organizing Halloween events like “Joe Bob’s Haunted Drive-In,” have left a lasting impact on the horror community.

Christian Ackerman, the driving force behind Black Vortex Cinema, is a renowned horror movie connoisseur, having produced over 35 feature films seen by audiences worldwide. Felissa Rose, who made her debut in the legendary Sleepaway Camp at the age of 13, has gone on to star in and produce over 100 films and is recognised as a global face of the genre.

Chuck Foster, a member of Hollywood royalty, has transitioned into a horror screenwriter and electronic musician. Josh McKevitt, a graphic designer, has lent his design expertise to projects such as American Horror Story, Hulu’s Into the Dark series, Vida, The Mindy Project, and Perry Mason. Sean Decker, with a celebrated career in horror journalism, has ventured into film production and continues to be a prominent figure in the world of macabre storytelling.
