Heads Up: SF horror fest

Holehead_boffo If you live in or around the Bay Area and, like me, are a fan of low-budg horror/sci-fi pics, check out next month's Hole in the Head festival.

The annual event, part of the SFIndieFest, will host 40 global films, ranging from awesome titles like "Mutant Girl Squad" to"Satan Hates You."

(The last time I was there someone vomited two rows in front of me and STAYED.)

Hole in the Head runs July 8-29 in San Francisco.
