TORONTO AFTER DARK 2013 - ROUNDUP - THE BEST OF THE FEST - KLYMKIW ACCOLADES - By Greg Klymkiw

Another year of Toronto After Dark Film Festival has ended. Recently TADFF 2013 announced their audience awards and I've decided to hand out a few of my own. Here then are the Film Corner's Accolades and Excretions. The accolades receive my citation appropriately named The Val Lewton Oblation for Genre Excellence and the more dubious films receive my hallowed excretions in the form of my very special "Turd Behind Harry's Char Broiled Burgers and Dining Lounge" - a genuine artifact discovered by myself and "Project Grizzly" director Peter Lynch. Both seem ideal ways to celebrate the best and worst. So, without further delay, here are the Greg Klymkiw Accolades and Excretions for the 2013 Edition of TADFF 2013. ENJOY!
