[RECAP] New Jersey Horror Con and Film Festival April 2024 | ZombieFuel.net

  by Bone Jawnson A few weeks ago, I attended the New Jersey Horror Con & Film Festival in Edison, New Jersey. It's been a bit since I have attended one, so I was overly psyched to go! This time was special because I was able to bring my daughter. Having just hit the tween stage in her own life, she started to exand her interest in films, music, and fashion, particularly flashy earrings.

There is so much content to discover that one should never become bored.  "Graveyard Stories 3" is a horror anthology-style film with Mel acting as the horror host "Belladonna." It begins with a woman receiving a mysterious video cassette tape in the mail, putting it in the VHS player, hitting the play button, and casting the viewer into a world of killer mayhem. I had a lot of fun watching this style of indie film and am always looking for something different or new to watch. This totally fits the bill....
