Creative Loafing’s Reel Terror 2013 took place on Sat., Nov. 16, at the beautiful Villagio Cinemas in Carrollwood. A one-day film festival celebrating the local horror scene, and the many brave souls who risk their lives and finances in pursuit of their dreams, Reel Terror included panel discussions, celebrity appearances, screenings of selected films, an awards ceremony, and much more.
