The Grim and
Bloody Theater
Anthony DeRouen, Kevin Nickelson and Joe Flynn screen indie films
on Youtube and immediately follow it up with exclusive interviews with
directors, writers, and cast members. We have a lot of fun doing this and take pride in giving filmmakers another platform to showcase their bloody good work. New episodes added every month.

Our Story
The year is 2018. Anthony DeRouen had completed his horror short The Last Showing which was filmed at the Towne 3 Cinemas in San Jose, California over the course of four days. Anthony remained close friends with theater management at Towne 3 while The Last Showing was in post-production, and he began work on his next short He Takes and Returns. When both shorts were completed and being converted to a double-feature blu-ray Anthony began a search for local horror festivals to submit to. The closest horror-only festival was in Sacramento which is 90 minutes from the Bay Area. Not exactly local.
Since its inception the Death’s Parade Film Fest has hosted over sixty films at the Towne 3 Cinemas and a virtual screening in Sansar to a packed audience. With the help of horror veterans Kevin Nickelson, Joe Flynn and Al Omega the festival has expanded to include a popular podcast and Youtube screening theater.
