Individual tickets for FrightFest 2005 go on sale
1st Aug 05
 Indvidual tickets go on sale today (11am) for FrightFest 2005, being held at London's Odeon West End on Leicester Square from 26th-29th August.
The full programme was announced last week (see below) and with over 300 weekend passes now sold, you'd better get in quick for those individual films you want to see.
The event now kicks off at 11.15am on the Friday with a 'Day of the Dead' devoted to the horror legend George A. Romero, beginning with all three screenings of his previous 'Dead' films (at a special low-price of £5 per ticket).
This will then be followed by a 'Display of the Dead' by special make-up artist Greg Nicotero before the showing of Land of the Dead (with George A. Romero's attendance and pre-film introduction now 100% confirmed).
The closing film is Wolf Creek (see our review here) with director Greg McLean in attendance and other guests confirmed so far are Ti West for The Roost, Christian Alvart for Antibodies, Paul Spurrier for P, Craig Strachan and the cast of Wild Country. Jake West and his cast will also be present for the midnight screening of Evil Aliens.
Also, because this year the event is moving to it's new venue the Odeon West End, there will also be a host of events happening in the cinema foyer. From Atari there will be four games consoles running Fahrenheit, which is not due in the shops until October, whilst Audilbe.Com will be hosting a booth in the bar to demonstrate the latest technology for downloadable books.
Frightfest also has exclusive use of the bar where all can meet and share views to the new FrightFest quiz, the launch of the FrightFest Presents DVD label and of course all the weekend's films.
