And thus begins SINedelphia, a month’s worth of posts dedicated to the horror genre.  Last year we managed to post a different horror-related feature daily, this year we may be a bit more sporadic as I now have PhilaMOCA, Video Pirates, and a million other things taking up my time…excuses, excuses.

Here’s a handy guide to this month’s local horror movie screenings, let me know if I missed anything…
