It's time again for the NYC Horror Film Festival which runs from November 18-22 and will be held at the Tribeca Cinemas located at 54 Varick St and Canal St. What's playing you ask?

The AJ Bowen (The Signal) starrer which looks like a sweet arthouse vampire flick called Maidenhead. (trailer) This seems to have disappeared shortly after it's announcement over a year ago, so I'm glad it's getting some play!

Another gem is the weird horror comedy Must Love Death (review) which I'm still dying to see.

and much more! Check the full list after the break and head to the official website for the schedule, a list of shorts, and to buy tickets!
