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:
