“Why do these things always
have to start with young, beautiful Co-Eds going into the basement?”
From Fred Olen Ray, the director of Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers, comes Evil
Toons: the saucier, spookier, and definitely cheaper alternative to Who
Framed Roger Rabbit? But don't let the title deceive you with it's

The Oxford International Short Film Festival will be holding a special double screening of "For Want Of A Nail" in its full length form on Saturday 23rd March - and in addition to that, we've racked up another nomination for Best Editing.
The inaugural Oxford International Short Film Festival (OXISFF) celebrates the diversity and creativity of short films. OXISFF is located in the heart of the historic university city, on the same road where Inspector Morse, CS Lewis, and JRR Tolkien famously all enjoyed a tipple, a mere stone's throw from Hogwarts' Dining Hall.
The festival will be held in the beautiful grounds of St John's College at The University of Oxford in the newly refurbished auditorium.
On Saturday the 23rd of March FWOAN will be showing in Venue 3: Prestwich Room between 3pm and 4pm in the "Quirky" slot, and then again a little later in Venue 2: The Larkin Room between 5pm and 6pm also in the "Quirky" slot.
Find out more about the OISFF by going HERE, and be sure to follow FWOAN on Facebook.
