Fright Night Horror

Horror Channel FrightFest Halloween 2017 unleashes seven choice shockers for the 7th annual West End Halloween chillorama – a wits-end wallow in all things gruesome, gory and glorious. This year, the all-day shocktoberfest is at the Empire Haymarket on Sat Oct 28, 2017 and embraces one world, one European and five UK premieres, spanning three continents. From the emotional making of a low-budget slasher to zombie nightmares, Gothic horrors, an outrageously strange mind cult, a sci-fi alien action extravaganza, a comic strip creature feature and the last word in Killer Clowns, this year’s line-up is an eclectic mix of the quirky, unusual and extreme. Alan Jones, FrightFest co-director said today: “After FrightFest’s successful return to central London in August for our biggest and most acclaimed event yet, we’re pleased to announce our equally ambitious, and extended Halloween spooktacular. The line-up is a heady cocktail of horror, fantasy and sci-fi, which we hope haunts your...

Horror movies are an easy sell? That’s BS, says Cold Moon director Griff Furst. Congrats, sir! Do you remember how you pitched the film to your investors and cast initially? What was it that got them to bite? We had a great crew lined up  with a great story to tell.  It was exciting for everyone involved.  That makes it easy to fund. There’s some brave stuff in there from some of the young performers. What kind of guidance and direction did you give them? I spent a lot of time with Josh Stewart and Candy Clark.  The movie really banks on the details of their characters.  I could work a scene for 100 hours, but we had limited time, so the actors had to come prepared, and they all did.  I got to work a scene where Frank Whaley confronts Josh Stewart in the living room for about an hour, which is a lot of time on a short shoot.  That was a lot of fun. The film goes to some pretty dark places. How did you decide on just how far to push it? ...
