I just read about this. South Africa is starting a yearly horror festival. Took me by surprise because I personally can't think of any horror from South Africa. Anyone here seen any? Are they worth a check? Info here if your curiosity is piqued. www.horrorfest.info/

The only South African horror I can think of off-hand is 1979's The Demon. I can't imagine there'd be enough horror output in that country to make a whole festival out of it, though.

It's the only one I can think of as well... and that came with more time than I care to admit thinking about it. To be honest I can hardly wait for an influx of South African horror... but only if they're all sequels to The Gods Must be Crazy. Parts VI-X could be slashers... if III-V are Kung-Fu Comedies...
