Horror movie fest back from undead

THE Dead by Dawn horror film festival is to return to the Capital next May, it has been announced.

The festival was not held this year to give organiser Adele Hartley a break. However, a smaller event was held in October and proved a huge success. Now it has been announced that the full festival will return at a slightly later date than usual, with loyal horror film fans expected to come from across Europe for the event.

To help paying customers in what is expected to be a tough financial year, prices have been frozen. A full four-day festival pass will cost 65 and tickets for the mini "Spawn of Dawn" festival will be 25 each.

The full event programme will be unveiled next year.
