THE people of Portland love a good scare - no wonder since horror writer Stephen King is its most famous resident.
It comes as no surprise that the largest city in the state of Maine also plays host to an annual scare-fest called Damnationland, a movie event which pays tribute to the genre.
Screened during Halloween and now into its sixth year, it features 10 short films by Mainers who each give their own take on what horror means to them. Not everything in the showcase will make you jump out of your seats because it is creepy or outright scary, some border on the surreal while others even have a touch of comedy.
