If you’re just dying—yes, dying—for the September return of the Sacramento Horror Film Festival, here’s your temporary reprieve: four hours of ghoulishly themed live music, aerial acts, stand-up comedy, burlesque, puppetry and yeah, short horror films, including Toys for Lovely Men (pictured above). The synopsis: “Bill finds love in Helga, a beautiful doll who can laugh and smile. Helga finds joy in Bill, a foolish mortal who can bleed and cry.” 3522 Stockton Boulevard, www.sachorrorfilmfest.com.
Eddy Lepp, free after serving eight years in prison for one largest pot busts in DEA history, is getting hitched. And the cannabis legend wants to celebrate this joint affair with you.
