I didn't attend the International Horror & Sci-Fi Film Festival in its debut year of 2005, but I did gather together information for it from a program obtained from the Phoenix Film Foundation.
The festival was founded by Phoenix Film Foundation president, Chris Lamont, and Arizona comic book writer, Brian Pulido, and the inaugural event took place at the Harkins Centerpoint and the Harkins Valley Art in Tempe, the only time that screenings have been shared across two locations.
Pulido brought a trio of major names out to kick things off with emphasis and two were inducted into the IHSFFF Hall of Fame: Tobe Hooper and Lloyd Kaufman, president of Troma Entertainment. Hooper presented his
Masters of Horror episode,
Dance of the Dead, which was a free event! Troma were represented by the feature,
Vegas in Space.
Here are all the films that screened in 2005, with titles linking to my reviews and the IMDb pages added for reference.
