Dead by Dawn - the latest details
Adele Hartley has passed on the latest details for the imminent Dead by Dawn horror film (and now literary too) fest, which spans from Ramsey Campbell to Tony Todd:
Well, here it is, most of the films we'll be showing at Dead by Dawn's 13th Anniversary next week. Even at this late stage we are still adding things to the programme, so rather than send you a schedule which will change, here's a list of titles, and anyone attending will be able to pick up a full schedule on arrival.
On the evening of Thursday 20th, we're launching our first two anthologies - Read by Dawn Vol 1 (hosted by Ramsey Campbell) and Classic Tales of Horror Vol 1. I'm really proud of both these books - not only do they look and feel gorgeous, but contained within is some of the finest classic and contemporary short horror fiction.
The launch is taking place at the Citrus Club on Grindlay Street in Edinburgh from 6-10pm. Entry is free to Passholders, and £3 to anyone else. There will be some free drinking to be done, nibbles and schmoozing, and of course the opportunity to buy some books...
The Opening Movie of the festival, HARD CANDY, will be on screen at Filmhouse at 11.15pm
Over the rest of the weekend, you'll have a chance to see the following features: Wayne Coe's yummy 80's portmanteau oddity GRIM PRAIRIE TALES, culinary delight in THE LAST SUPPER as a plastic surgeon takes some of his work home with him, Nic Roeg's ever spectacular DON'T LOOK NOW, Shinya Tsukamoto's claustrophobic nightmare HAZE, the World Premiere of Robert Krause's BLOOD TRAILS, Adam Mason's mentalist survivalist does extreme damage in BROKEN, The Thing meets Alien meets Gary Larsson's cows gone bad in ISOLATION, George C Scott survives a haunted Gothic pile in THE CHANGELING, aliens feck with the world and raise legions of undead in the Japanese treat ZOMBIE JIEITAI, Graeme Whifler redefines the neighbour from hell in the deeply unpleasant NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH, another portmanteau goodie in the shape of DEAD OF NIGHT, hippy tree huggers get it in the neck in SEVERED and Tony Todd gives it some welly in the outrageous lesbian-prison-movie-with-added-zombies, SHADOW: DEAD RIO
T. More titles to come :)
As for the shorts, the What You Make It programme will mess with your head...WHEN NOBODY IS LOOKING, LA GUERRA, SHAME and THE HIDDEN FACE should all provide good arguments against breeding, the sweet as anything EL DESAFIO A LA MUERTE (THE CHALLENGE TO DEATH) puts a guru in a blender, in LAST BLOOD some mutant vampires coat a post-apocalyptic wasteland in warm arterial spray, a woman finds novel methods of psychological punishment in LOS OJOS DE ALICIA (ALICIA'S EYES), Nash Edgerton returns to the festival with LUCKY which you have to see to believe, three students get a dose of local history in SCHATTENKIND (SHADOW CHILD), BUTTERFLIES is a punchline I'm not about to spoil for you, LE BOURREAU DES INNOCENTS sees a hillwalker wish she'd never left the comfort and safety of inner-city crime behind, HAUNTED BONEYARD (winner of last year's 48 hour film challenge) should bother the claustrophobe in everyone, DEADLY TANTRUM - as the tagline says, 'Meet Geoffrey - he's angry, he's s
tupid, he's got a power saw', in THE ANCIENT RITES OF COREY MCGILLIS a young man grieves his father's death, but not for long, in REPOSE EN PAIX (REST IN PEACE) a man's dreams seem all too real until the happy ever after, in ZACARIAS ZOMBIE (ZACHARY THE ZOMBIE) a child is born undead and finds that dog is man's best meal and in the sublime animation GORGONAS (GORGONS) the world is plagued by a trio bent on cruelty.
As if that wasn't enough, we're running a promo of what will be the finest genre movie possibly ever, with it's director and producer there in person - you'll have to be there to find out what it is, and as for our Special Guest, well we're still waiting to find out if he can fit us into his schedule, so news on that when we get it.
Happily, the World Premiere of BLOOD TRAILS will be attended by a full complement of cast and crew, and five cast and crew from LAST BLOOD will be around too.
Anyone attending or thinking of attending the second all-nighter on Saturday 22 April, you will get to see: LAST BLOOD, ZOMBIE JIEITAI, REPOSE EN PAIX, BROKEN, LE BOURREAU DES INNOCENTS, ISOLATION, DEADLY TANTRUM, NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH and SEVERED as well as some other shorts.
See you next week!
