Step right up, folks! Now that the five days of genre madness that made up the 2015 Film4 FrightFest in London have been and gone, leaving a big empty hole in our hearts, we’ve compiled a roundup of our reviews, photos, and a selection of FrightFest videos for you to enjoy.
So… dig in, spoil yourselves, and get a look at some of horror’s upcoming gems.
Marking the festival’s 16th year in operation, 2015 saw FrightFest reach all-new heights – expanding its screenings beyond Leicester Square’s VUE cinema and into both the Prince Charles Cinema and the Phoenix Artist Club for an unprecedented number of films and an overload of guest appearances, all introduced with a surprise appearance by British treasure, and FrightFest regular, Jonathan Ross.
Of course, we couldn’t be everywhere at once, but here’s a wealth of content for you to peruse including the films we caught and a peek at some of the esteemed guests on show – not least being this year’s Guest of Honour, Barbara Crampton.

Alongside the wealth of feature and short film screenings that made up the festival’s extensive schedule, a group of six shorts created in conjunction with Channel 4 were screened prior to some of FrightFest’s Main Screen showings. As a special treat, you can stream them all, right now, at the Channel 4 website here.
Besides those, you can check out our own gallery of snaps from the fest and join “Evil Twins” Priscilla Riberio and Luna Wolf in their daily coverage of the festival courtesy of FrightFest TV below.
There’s also tons more video content and interviews straight from the fest that you can see right now over on the FrightFest YouTube channel – so head on over… it’s just like being there…
NOT!
A rabidly enthusiastic event that really must be experienced in person, Film4 FrightFest is one festival that needs to be on your horror-loving bucket list, wherever the hell you’re from.
So get planning for 2016… we know we will!
Many thanks to FrightFest boys Alan, Ian, Paul, and especially Greg for having us along for the ride once again.
