The Outer Limits

Veteran X Files producer/director R.W. Goodwin (pictured), whose new creature-feature comedy Alien Trespass opens this spring from Roadside Attractions, has joined the lineup of the next Chicago edition of Fangoria’s Weekend of Horrors, to be held March 6-8 at the Wyndham Chicago O’Hare Hotel (6810 North Mannheim Road, Rosemont, Il). Goodwin produced over 70 episodes of The X Files, and directed nine of them.
Alien Tresspass, which stars Will & Grace’s Eric McCormack, Autopsy’s Robert Patrick and The Wonder Years’ Dan Lauria, concerns an Earthly encounter with extraterrestrials both good and bad.

The Clive Barker-praised New York independent horror film Vindication will make its world premiere at the fast-approaching Chicago edition of Fangoria’s Weekend of Horrors, to be held March 6-8 at the Wyndham Chicago O’Hare Hotel (6810 North Mannheim Road, Rosemont, Il). The movie will be introduced by writer/director Bart Mastronardi (pictured below), a cinematographer (The Blood Shed, Crossed), who makes his directorial debut on the gory horror yarn.
Vindication is a dark coming-of-age story about Nicolas Bertram, whose failed suicide attempt shatters the young’s man reality. This causes his guilt to manifest itself into the real world, sending the confused Bertram off onto a horrific and bloody path of self-discovery.
