I hear this a lot: “I didn’t know about [insert random horror event here]!”
Well, hopefully this will remedy that. Thanks to my very close friend, Annette, we’ve established HorrorCal – a horror event calendar for you Los Angeles-based ShockTillYouDrop.com readers that you can subscribe to on your own Google calendar or iCal.
IT’S SUPER EASY.
You’ll see additions to the calendar as we update it on our end. You’ll find an example below. We’re at work on a separate NYC calendar as well as a general “across the U.S.” calendar, but those are a bit down the road.
Instructions on how to add it are below and we’ve already fleshed it out with a ton of screenings, signings, gallery openings, conventions, festivals and special events taking place, again, in the Los Angeles area only. It includes: The event, location, start time, ticket information and any necessary links you might need.
If you use neither Google calendar or iCal – you can access a public version of the calendar here.
We’ve also set up a Twitter account, so give that a follow! It will update you as we add new events.
We do this so you’ll never miss anything again!
Got an event you’d like added to the calendar?
Email it to [email protected]. Include event name, date, start and end times, a short description, and a link to buy tickets or get more info. If you have any feedback, we’ll take it there, too.
Many thanks to Daniel James Baker for our logo. Go give him some love at his Facebook page!
