Horror fest's new dawn

SERIAL killers, stylish vampires and a hillbilly horror comedy are among the highlights of this year's Dead By Dawn horror film festival.

Returning after a year's break, the four-day event will include screenings of some of the latest horror films from around the world, as well as classics, and will once again include talks with stars and directors, and an all-night event at the Filmhouse on Lothian Road. The event runs from May 5-8.
