FrightFest Day


For horror film fans, it’s far too long to wait for the main Frightfest event in August, but thankfully the team over at Frightfest (Alan Jones, Ian Rattray and Paul McEvoy) know this, and have managed to slip in a special one-day event at the Prince Charles Cinema, Leicester Square, London on March 18th.

Featuring a total of six films (including two old classics both being screened on new pristine 35mm prints), the day will centre around a special advance UK screening of Eli Roth’s Hostel, featuring a exclusive video introduction by the director himself, recorded specially for the event on his recent visit to London.

The full schedule for the day is as follows;
11.00 a.m Death Trance (Jap)
1:15 p.m. Wicker Man (UK) + intro by Eli Roth. (New 35mm print.)
3:45 p.m. Mortuary (US)
6:30 p.m. Reeker (US) + Bad Seed
9.00 p.m. Hostel (US) + intro by Eli Roth
11:10 p.m. Theatre of Blood (UK) (New 35 mm print)

Tickets go on sale from the Prince Charles Cinema’s box office on Saturday 4th March. As usual, there is a choice of individual film tickets, or a day pass fro all six films. Day passes cost £37.50, whilst tickets for individual films are £9.00 each.

The box office and telephone sales (0870 811 2559) will be open for ticket sales at 1.30pm.

FrightFest organisers Alan Jones, Paul McEvoy and Ian Rattray will once again be your hosts. FrightFest Fearbooks and other prizes will be available too. So make a date for March 18, 2006. Trust us, you won’t want to miss out.
