OMEN & UNINVITED Win Top Festival Prizes!

I got a phone call today from Enrique Galvez, who organized the film program at the Pacific Media Expo last weekend, and he informed me that Omen had won the New Audience Award, and had placed second in overall attendance to Uninvited, which won Top Horror Honors. I was ecstatic to learn that festival audiences are enjoying these films as much as I do. Uninvited will be making it's DVD debut in January, which will of course be the global definitive edition. I am unable to comment on the status of the proposed Hollywood remake, but keep on the lookout for selected theatrical screenings of the original between now and then.

The infamous Panik House Promo Reel was also screened between features over the course of the expo, and many who saw it approached program sponsors to request copies, but this will never be made available to home video audiences; it shall remain a convention exclusive only.
