50 YEARS OF CLASSIC BRITISH HORROR FESTIVAL

CLIENT: SELENE PAXTON-BROOKS, 2022-

In 2022, horror enthusiast Selene Paxton-Brooks staged a one-day horror festival at St. George's Theatre in Great Yarmouth. The programme consisted of the screening of the feature films Asylum, Dracula AD 1972 and the BBC ghost story A Warning to the Curious. Guests included horror film historian Wayne Kinsey, Hammer Films runner Phil Campbell and Sergei Subotsky (above middle), son of the Amicus horror film producer Milton Subotsky.

The festival went so well - a horror film festival in a converted church! - that a second event was organised for 2023. This was even more successful, featuring on stage interviews with actors Madeleine Smith (above left) and Britt Ekland (above right) and sold out completely.

I designed the '50 Years...' logo and the poster, take photographs and liaise with the local press, ensuring that the festival is given the widest possible local coverage. In its third year in 2024, the event's guests included actors Caroline Munro and Madeline Smith and Al Friswell, restorer of Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion animation monster models.
