Mayhem Film Festival 2017 releases full line-up

We’re heading straight into the UK horror festival season and Nottingham’s mighty Mayhem has just revealed its full line-up for its 13th edition of the festival. Taking place 12-15th October at the gorgeous Broadway cinema in the heart of Nottingham, the festival doesn’t just take on horror, but also, sci-fi, thrillers and cult classics.

There are some wonderful highlights in this year’s line-up, not least of all their specially produced Zeppelin v Pterodactyls, a live reading of an unproduced Hammer script. They’ve also got UK premieres (included the latest from Dick Maas, Prey), special guests (including Dick Maas himself!), and two incredible classic screenings, Suspiria and Friday the 13th Part 3 3D on Friday 13th Oct!

See below for the full line-up as well as that all important ticket info:

Early Bird passes will remain on sale at the discounted price of £65 until 10AM on Tuesday 12 September at which time individual tickets, day passes and full festival passes at the regular price of £75 will be made available. The live stage reading of Hammer Films Zeppelin v Pterodactyls is made possible with thanks to Hammer Films and CATH (Cinema and Television History) Research Centre at DeMontfort University.
