One of the most exciting genre events in recent years, the Salem Horror Fest celebrated another successful gathering of horror lovers last year, and Daily Dead was thrilled to be a media sponsor of the 10-day event. This year's Salem Horror Fest looks to be the most memorable one yet, with Goblin keyboardist Maurizio Guarini joining the festivities to perform a live score to the silent film Dante's Inferno (1911).
Guarini's live performance will take place at the Peabody Essex Museum on Sunday, October 13th. To learn more about tickets, visit Salem Horror Fest online.
Salem Horror Fest 2019 will begin on Thursday, October 3rd and run through Sunday, October 13th. If you're looking to book a hotel or secure an Airbnb, then you'll want to do it here sooner rather than later, as space is limited.
We'll be sure to keep Daily Dead readers updated on further announcements from the festival. In the meantime, read on for additional details on Guarini's live performance, check here for our previous Salem Horror Fest 2019 news, and keep an eye on Salem Horror Fest's official website for more information!
"Maurizio Guarini, founding member of the synth-horror group GOBLIN (Suspiria, Zombi 2), will be making his Salem debut at the Peabody Essex Museum performing a live score to Dante’s Inferno.
Released in 1911, Dante’s Inferno was the first-ever feature length film produced in Italy. A surreal and still-shocking adaptation of the most infamous section of Dante’s The Divine Comedy, the film follows Virgil leading Dante through the nine circles of Hell as a framing device for a series of spectacular scenes, striking and unusual visual effects, astounding sets, and a huge cast of extras (often naked or barely clothed).
