Wow, this year's selection actually seems decent. Last couple of years it seems they've had the bottom of the barrel of horror films, with just a few good ones. While they still have plenty of crap there seems like a lot more quality movies.
Sounds like it'll be good year.

Looking at this year's line up of "Fearfest" films two adjectives come to mind, like in past years:
"stale" and "redundant"
