Manchester’s Grimmfest will be celebrating its 10th anniversary this year and they’re adding to the festivities by announcing their first ever Horror Channel Lifetime Achievement award, which will be given to Barbara Crampton! The actress has appeared in classics such as Re-Animator, From Beyond and Chopping Mall as well as recent titles like You’re Next, We Are Still Here, Tales of Halloween, and Death House. Crampton will be discussing her acting career as well as presenting a special screening of Re-animator at the event.
Festival director Simeon Halligan said, “This is our 10th anniversary year and to celebrate, we will be focusing on women in horror. We’ve already announced our new awards structure and the all-female jury but we also felt it was perfect timing to invite one of our favourite screen stars to the festival.”
Grimmfest will run October 4-7 at the ODEON Manchester Great Northern. Ticket information can be found at Grimmfest’s official website.
