Mitchell suffered a heart attack on Monday, just hours after the second annual event had ended. It had included a reunion of Superjoint Ritual. Anselmo says: "Tragically, unexpectedly, and with heart-crushing reality, Corey passed away Monday, after the event ended. This is devastating on so many levels.

"I was introduced to Corey first and foremost as a bestselling crime author, and shortly after that meeting I agreed to have him as my co-writer of a novel I'd been working on. It was his idea to create a horror and film festival. He had a vision, and no one worked harder than him to see the event through."
