We enthusiastically welcome screenwriter Chris Thomas Deviln to HorrorFest International. He'll be on hand to talk about his quickly growing career. Having penned 2022's "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" legacy sequel as well as the 2023 gem, "Cobweb" (which will screen right before this conversation), Mr. Devlin now has his sights set on a brand new take on "Blair Witch" which is slated to hit theaters in 2027. No doubt, he has plenty of other projects in the pipeline as well. This intimate conversation will be moderated by Kyle Peck and it should also be noted that there will be time allotted for questions following what promises to be quite an insightful chat with a gifted industry-level horror screenwriter.
