Dec. 2, 2013 - PRLog -- Leading online Asian entertainment retailer YesAsia.com is a proud sponsor of the 2013 Monster Fest in Australia. This year's showcase of the best horror films in the world runs from November 21 to December 1 at Cinema Nova in Melbourne.

Presented by Monsterbox.tv and Cinema Nova, Monster Fest is an annual film event dedicated to bringing the latest, greatest and rarest horror and cult cinema from across the globe to Australia.

The festival also features Terror Australia, a section entirely devoted to hosting world premieres of new homegrown genre films, and Fantastic Asia, featuring four mind-blowing films from Japan.

As part of its sponsorship, YesAsia.com will give a cash donation and sponsor prizes for giveaways throughout the year.

Monster Fest Festival Director Neil Foley expresses his appreciation. "Monster Fest is only in its third year, but it is quickly evolving into Australia's premier event for the best of genre and cult cinema. We have been working with YesAsia since the Fantastic Asia Film Festival in 2011, and we are very grateful for their generous support over the years. We look forward to continuing our fruitful partnership for years to come."
