Those sickly, psychotic cinephiles over at DEDfest have announced the start of the 2009 lineup:

Our first wave of films for DEDfest 2009 is now official! We’ve got a little John Hughes meets Takashi Miike with the insane splatterfest Vampire Girl vs Frankenstein Girl, Lesbian Vampire Killers (enough said!), a nasty little flick called Neighbor that made this year’s Fantasia crowd scream their asses off, a retro screening of the punk rock zombie classic Return of the Living Dead, and we’ve got an ambitious, amazing animated version of Romero’s classic – Night of the Living Dead: Reanimated.

Stay tuned to DEDfest’s films page for all the latest news.
