Entertainment Weekly has the scoop on another awesome addition to the Stanley Film Festival.

” It was announced today that the Stanley Film Festival—which takes place at the hotel from April 30 to May 3—will be paying tribute to Re-Animator director Stuart Gordon as its 2015 “Master of Horror” and will screen his 1985 cult classic. Gordon is to be presented the award by filmmaker Mick Garris, director of several King adaptations, including a 1997 mini-series version of the novelist’s famed haunted hotel book.”

And remember, “Fessenden is also one of the guests appearing at the festival and will be overseeing a special “Stanley Edition” of his Tales From Beyond The Pale audio serial in cahoots with regular collaborator Glenn McQuaid.”

Add to all that screenings of We Are Still Here, the Elijah Wood-produced The Boy, and Deathgasm, and it all makes for a pretty awesome time at the Stanley!
