Screenings in the Bay (Friday to Sunday), Doc Fest, and New VOD Releases

Happy Friday everyone! This is a strangely light weekend for horror screenings, but there is still a lot going on. A couple of the Landmark theatres have some interesting movies playing, and the San Francisco Documentary Fest has officially begun. I picked out a couple of highlights for this weekend. And The Impostor has a highlights from the VOD titles that are being released today as well. 

This weekend is also the San Jose Super Toy Show, with special guests Alex Vincent (Child's Play) and David Naughton (An American Werewolf in London). Get there early, get some autographs and action figures, and be back in the city for some movies. Sounds like a plan!
