GOLDEN GHOUL AWARDS for Achievements in Horror during 2011

     After the mostly-poor and forgettable year for horror film such as 2011 has been, viewed en generale, I decided to make a selection of the best achievements and pleasures I got from horrors during the past year so as to award them with my inaugural GOLDEN GHOUL AWARDS. When I look back, I realize that most of these films I've seen at Vienna's SLASH FILM FESTIVAL. Great selection there!
