Ten days of horror themed events with an inventive array of screenings featuring classics, previews, Q&A’s, trading, music and parties. Opening things up are local movie obsessed electronica boys Agents of Evolution, who will tear through a set of John Carpenter inspired noise before a screening of the great man’s classic, The Thing. Check out previews of new UK horror films with post screening Q&A’s, The Snarling and Pumpkins in addition to classics such as Hellraiser, Halloween and The Exorcist. Things are rounded off nicely with a Rocky Horror Halloween Party at The Custard Factory featuring the film, live music, DJs, street food and some outrageous costumes hopefully.
