Forbidden Worlds Film Festival: The Big Scream returns to the former Bristol IMAX from 13-14 October 2023.
This year’s line-up consists of a selection of retro ‘popcorn horrors’ screened over two night: B-movie homage Night of the Creeps, Guillermo del Toro’s sci-fi monster movie Mimic, a 40th anniversary screening of John Carpenter’s Stephen King adaptation Christine, Amblin’s ‘family friendly’ spider-fest Arachnophobia, body-snatching actioner The Hidden, and the late William Friedkin’s unfairly maligned killer-tree spectacular The Guardian.
With many of these films finding their audiences on VHS and DVD, now is a unique opportunity for horror fans to see them on the biggest screen in the South West.
