ITP V.014 EDITORS NOTE: (Along with CREAM bassist JACK BRUCE's passing ), it's been a long week as obviously I have a soft spot for and my heart goes out to all the writers, editors, authors, Journalists and the promoters whom make dreams come true and put all into perspective.

Thank you all for a fantastic weekend - it is, however, with a heavy heart that we here at Housecore Horror Film Festival must announce that our friend and the father of this wicked brain-child, Corey Mitchell, passed away this morning.
Please send your thoughts and prayers to his family. He loved the festival. He loved horror. He loved metal. You damn sure know he loved you guys. Cheers, and thank for your respect during this sensitive time.
FROM CATTLE DECAPITATION: Thanks for having us and RIP Corey!
FROM CASEY ORR (GWAR): Painful though parting be, I bow to you as I see you off to distant clouds. ~Emperor Saga
FROM PORTAL:
Thankyou to Phil and the crew at Housecore Horror Festival over the weekend.
Farewell beyond the Curtain Corey Mitchell.
FROM PHILIP H. ANSELMO and DOWN:
Housecore Horror Film Festival co-founder/best-selling true crime author, Corey Mitchell, suffered a deadly heart attack early Monday morning at Emo's, venue home of the event. Mitchell's tragic and untimely passing follows the fest's second epically successful weekend of metal and horror.
Said partner/Housecore Records head, Philip H. Anselmo, in an official statement: "This is stunning. After a weekend of incredible bands, awesome horror films and masses of fantastic people, tragically, unexpectedly, and with heart-crushing reality, co-founder of The Housecore Horror Film Festival, Corey Mitchell, passed away Monday, October 27th 2014, after the event ended. This is devastating on so many levels, I can't and won't go into how tremendous a loss Corey's untimely death truly is. I was introduced to Corey first and foremost as a best-selling crime author, and shortly after that meeting I agreed to have him as my co-writer of an unfinished novel I'd been working on. It was his idea to create a horror and film festival that would became The Housecore Horror Festival. He had a vision, and no one worked harder than him to see the event through. But forget festivals. Forget books. We lost a great friend. From all of us here at Housecore Records, we extend our utmost condolences to his wife, Audra, and his two beautiful young daughters. This is devastating on countless personal levels, and I'm finding it difficult to type these lines. We lost a brother. We lost a great man with a passion for everything that we love. He will be unfathomably missed... RIP Corey. His legacy will never be forgotten, nor will his friendship. With supremely heavy hearts, we mourn. Sincerely - Philip H. Anselmo"

FROM RANDY BLYTHE (LAMB OF GOD):
I had a really, really good time at the HouseCore Horror Film Festival in Austin, Texas this weekend. I saw a ton of people I knew, rocked out to a bunch of awesome bands, & I even made a few new friends. But there was some sadness too- it was great to see my friends in GWAR killing it & doing their thing, & I know Brockie would be very, very proud of them right now, because he always wanted GWAR to live forever & had talked about it around me plenty of times- but when the whole band knelt in front of his sword onstage to honor him, as you see a couple of them doing in this picture, it really tugged on my heart strings. I miss my friend. Then when I landed for my layover in Atlanta today, I got a message that Corey Mitchell, Anselmo's partner in creating the HouseCore festival, had had a heart attack in Emo's (the main venue of the fest) this morning & had died. I had a really great talk with Corey last night about writing (he was a successful true-crime author), he told me how glad he was to have had me at the fest, & was super accommodating all weekend- I was very well taken care of. I had told him I was gonna email him a bunch of the photos I took during the fest, & he was in a great mood- everyone was, because it had been an awesome weekend. Then a few hours later, he was dead. Life is precious & fleeting, my friends. Make the most of it while you can, because you never know when it will be over. My sincere condolences go out to the whole HouseCore Fest family. RIP Corey Mitchell, Hail Oderus!
FROM CATTLE DECAPITATION: Thanks for having us and RIP Corey!
We would like to extend our condolences to the friends and family ofHousecore Horror Film Festival organizer and co-owner Corey Mitchell who passed away yesterday during the festival clean-up. Along with his partner Philip Anselmo he was the KEY to making this happen and was the catalyst for all the fun times that we and all the attendees and bands had as evident in the pics we are posting here. Without him, none of this would have been possible. Its still hard to grasp, we were just hanging out with him, Phil, the Portal guys and many other friends at Corey's house just the other night. He was a super cool guy, extremely accommodating and did his best to see that everyone was satisfied with the fest. He worked EXTREMELY hard and he will be missed.
Thank you Corey, Phil, Bruce Corbitt and all our fans that attended for making this an amazing weekend never to be forgotten.
Check out that pic of our rather veiny friend Matt Griffin from the TV showThe Operatives gettin' all agro at the front during our set! More pics of our set can be viewed at this link:
