Hi Freakers,

Hope you had a good one stealing your neighbours Xmas presents and laying poisonous baits down for the Reindeers. Always a good time to rewatch the flick Silent Night, Deadly Night too.

We've finally tallied up the results from our long suffering Judges now that the silly season is over. Sorry bout the wait and thanks for being patient.

We got all concerned to let us know their five fave flicks. It aint easy cause all the flicks were bloody good, some bloodier than others but all goodier in their own depraved way. And here they go:

Overall winner 'Best of 3' Dir. Drew Thompson

2nd Place. 'Hair Removal' Dir. Troy Gillett

3rd Place. 'Dracenstein' Dir. Tom Priestley

Special runner ups (who also get goodies) include:

4th Place. 'Still Born' Dir. Emma Mitchell

5th Place.' A story, a song and a dream' Dir. Matt Penny

We would also like to give a special mention to the following films as they were extremely close to scoring a prize: An axe,knives and video tape Prod. James Stafford - The Denim Avenger Vs The Undead Seamen Dir. Andy Kite - Martie Don't Surf Dir. Frank Daft :

We'll we're glad thats out the way! We'll get those prizes to ya in the next cuppla weeks and winners will go into the Hall Of Fame. Don't be disheartened if your movie didn't make it this year. THEY WERE ALL GREAT. Just keep making em sickos. Your time will come!

Thanks a lot to our VIP judges, your invaluable opinions are worth their weight in body parts. We thank you from the bottom of our black souls!

We thank you ALL for putting your fine fillums in last year and it was a great laugh. Hope ta see more of ya work and some new film freakers entering this year as we start getting it all together again. We've already got a few new surprises up our snot ridden sleaves so stay tuned.

We also want to thank all our lovely sponsors who kindly donated prizes and funding to our sordid Festival. Black Flys Eyewear, Trash Video, MadMan Entertainment, Alpha Video, Stomp Entertainment, Inside Film Magazine, Polyester Books, Movie-Maniacs and The Australian Film Commission.
