In celebration of Halloween and Dia de los Muertos, we could think of no better person to feature than Edwin Pagan. A master of Latin Horror! If you enjoy frights and scares you'll want to visit www.latinhorror for the latest news on horror films. _______________________________________________________________ Latin Horror! If you've never heard of Latin horror, don't be scared, we had never heard of the phrase either until we met Edwin Pagan at the NALIP Conference last summer. At the conference, we were so immediately impressed with Edwin's knowledge and passion for the horror genre, that we knew we had to do a video feature with Edwin for the Cafe. Well, as with all horror related activity, the dark forces worked against us and for unexplainable reasons (insert scary music here), our primary camera did not record the interview! However, thankfully for us, goodness prevailed and Edwin graciously granted us a phone interview and our second camera had managed to record a portion of our original interview (triumph music here). One of the most interesting facts that Edwin told us, was that a Latino was responsible for creating one of the most recognizable and copied horror subgenre of all time! We would tell you but then we'd have to kill you horror style! Kidding aside, Edwin tells the story with so much more flair than we ever could, so listen and watch the video to find out who the Latino is and we guarantee you'll be screaming in shock - in shock! Seriously, even if you are not a fan of horror, you'll want to hear about Edwin's journey into filmmaking and how he hopes Latin Horror becomes a genre into itself. It certainly is our belief that someday in the future, people will look back and wonder how Latin Horror came to be, and we'll all be thankful and pointing at Edwin for being the mad scientist that started it all! Then of course will run him out of town with pitchforks and stones for creating such a monster! Listen to Edwinrsquo;s audio interview and be sure to visit, and bookmark, www.latinhorror.com for more Sangre! NOTE: Thanks again Edwin for giving us your time for two interviews. pm10/09 Filmmakers pablo2pap@gmail.com no No
