After Dark's Horrorfest: 8 Films to Die For is coming November 9th through the 18th. Eight new horror films will be released in over 500 theaters, in 35 cities around the United States for one week. To celebrate this awesome festival, After Dark films is also gearing up to crown Miss Horrorfest 2007.

We were lucky enough to sit down with Black Betty, who was crowned last year's Miss Horrorfest, and chat about the contest. She seems pretty perturbed about having to relinquish her crown, and damn near ate our cameraman.

Here is our exclusive interview with Black Betty, which also contains behind the scenes footage of Betty shooting her Horrorfest 2007 promo:
