STRANGE THINGS ARE HAPPENING: NEWS - GRIMMFEST ANNOUNCES 2012 LINE UP

GRIMMFEST ANNOUNCES 2012 LINE UP

Formerly Grimm Up North, now seemingly rebranded officially as Grimmfest, Manchester’s annual horror extravaganza has announced the line-up for the 2012 event, taking place October 4th – 7th.

The opening gala sees a pair of London-based movies in the form of Comedown (a ‘hoodie horror’ from the director of Kidulthood – oh dear) and – ahem – Cockneys vs Zombies, alongside a late screening of Some Guy Who Kills People.

Elsewhere on the bill is the new Cabal Cut edit of Nightbreed, House Hunting, Wake Up and Die, Attack of the Werewolves, Cursed Bastards, Twisted, Below Zero, Stitches, Rites of Spring, Hate Crime, The Eschatrilogy and Him Indoors, plus retro screenings of Basket Case and Hammer’s restored version of The Devil Rides Out. There is also a preview night on the 3rd at the Plaza Super Cinema in Stockport, featuring American Mary and Sinister. An impressive selection.

This year’s event takes place at the Dancehouse Theatre, a step up from the rather unappealing multiplex used last year, and guests will include Stitches star Ross Noble, Pollyanna McIntosh of The Woman fame and more.

Tickets are £60 for a full pass. More information at www.grimmfest.com.www.grimmfest.com
