A familiar face and famous horror film star icon will be honored Friday night, August 27, 2010 at the 3rd annual San Antonio Horrific Film Fest at the La Quinta downtown convention center location.

Michael Berryman, who is most famous as the frightening “Pluto” of Wes Craven’s 1977 “The Hills Have Eyes,” will be honored by the film festival.

Berryman is also well known as the face on one of the most famous horror movies posters of all time, from “The Hills Have Eyes.”

Many remember Berryman in various roles in such movies as “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” (1975), “Weird Science” (1985), “Star Trek IV” (1986), and “The Devil’s Rejects” (2005).

The actor remains very busy and is either pre-production or post-production status for at least 11 movies coming out this year through 2012.

The public is invited to the festival and share in the fun, including an exceptional opportunity to honor Berryman, meet Bill Johnson, who played the Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 “Leatherface”, a horror movie Demon, other celebrities, and filmmakers and more.
