Dark Tales from the Mid-World

<p>It's the Mid-World Arts Spooky Season Spectacular! Thirty-four tales of the uncanny the weird the disturbing and the silly. Ghost stories monster mashes vamp vignettes spirit scares and a whole bunch more. It's All Hallows Eve. The trick-or-treating is done. You've collected mountains of candy. Now it's time for the monster show marathon on TV! (Swing with it youngsters. This is something we used to do.)</p><p>This is that marathon. The television is warming up the proper channel is tuned and the independent artists of Mid-World Arts present to you a Harvest of Horror a winning line-up of short shows and one movie of the week interspersed with catchy and creepy words from our sponsors. It's a callback to <em>The Twilight Zone </em>or <em>The Outer Limits</em> and classic scary movies like <em>The Thing from Another World </em>and <em>The Crawling Eye</em>. You get the tongue-in-cheek treatment from the laugh-a-minute ridiculousness of <em>My Name is Vickie</em> and more than one Hammer Films homage in <em>The Demoniacal Machinations of Dr. Daedalus Slovak</em> and <em>The Diabolical Plot of Count Dracula </em>(you supply Vincent Price and Christopher Lee). You get the <em>Creepshow</em> vibes of <em>Cautionary Tale</em> and <em>The Power of the Pen</em>. You get the inward-looking eye of <em>Blood on the Scarecrow</em> and <em>Broken In</em> and the large-than-life <em>War of the Worlds</em> vibes of <em>Scale</em> and <em>B-29</em>.</p><p>There's something in here for everyone who loves horror loves to laugh at horror and loves to think about the darker aspects of what it is to be human. Or inhuman; we don't judge. So put on your mask rock that sheet that covers your ghostly body and hold out your plastic pumpkin bag. Because Mid-World has a treat for you and maybe a trick as well. Boo!</p>
