Scary movies have been earning big bucks and studios are finally taking note of the new crop of Latin filmmakers adding a touch of spice to the horror genre. While acclaimed directors, Guillermo Del Toro and Robert Rodriguez, have re-envisioned boundaries for this medium, up-and-coming Latino horror flicks, like the soon-to-be-released "ABC123", are infusing America's traditional fright fest with a bold, new passion. Enjoy this panel where the discussion will explore the history and evolution of Latin Horror, comment on the rapidly expanding genre, and present case studies that are pushing the emergence of today's Latin horror flicks to the forefront of the film canvas.
