Humphreys explains, “In the same way that Frankenstein gave life to his monster, horror films stimulate our imagination and give form to ideas that otherwise dare not leave the shadows.” He adds, “The painting shows our familiar host enjoying a fresh jolt…as do we – the audience – each year at FrightFest. In the background, a new entity emerges through the doorway… a new sponsor… Arrow Video!”
FrightFest takes place at Cineworld Leicester Square and The Prince Charles Cinema between Aug 23-Aug 27. More information can be found at the festival’s official website.
