Leif Jonker on ‘Darkness,’ Halloween, and what scares him

Halloween weekend is this weekend, guys.

All sorts of sexy something-or-others, zombies, and bloodied freaks will fill bars and drunkenly dance to “Thriller.” If you yearn for something a tad more frightening and definitely more interesting, head out to KC CreepFest. The two-day festival will feature freaky horror films directed by Midwestern directors/producers, a short film festival, and other devilish events.

We recently spoke with Leif Jonker. Jonker wrote Darkness, one of the films that will be featured at CreepFest. He told us about his film, what horror films give him the creeps, and what he’s going to be for Halloween this year.
