FrightFest

We did get a couple of messages, though.

Greg, who helps run the PR at Frightfest, sent us an email about a YouTube series.

And I was a little bit inspired by Heraldry Paranormal, in fact, of this.

Over on the Supernatural TV channel, which is just on YouTube, you can watch this right now.

Check them out.

Finally, so this debuted in the UK at Frightfest and we were lucky enough to catch it.

Glorious Dead, the new Addams Family film.

Oh, I enjoyed this.

How the devil are you boys doing?

Fuck that, how are you boys doing? How was your Frightfest adventure without me?

I haven't recovered from the Frightfest blues yet, I don't think.

You mean the Frightfest AIDS, have you got the sniffles?

No, just the depression that it was over.

It was over far too quickly.

Lots to get into, then.

We know what you've been...

Like, if you see another you, you're going to be like, oh, bloody hell, whereas they were like...

You say that, but I see about 700 of me at Frightfest tattooed man with beard and glasses with ten a penny.

I get messages.

Are you at Arc Tangent? No, that's just another man that looks exactly like me, I'm afraid.

But it was at this point that I was convinced that Fright Fest was some kind of like sadomasochistic social experiment that they would program a film like The Nameless Ball Bag at nine o'clock peak Saturday night.

Because for all love and light to the director, Zampioni, I've seen some of his films before and they've had varying degrees of success.

He famously made a very bad Frightfest film from 2012 called Tulpa, which is kind of part of Frightfest lore now that it's one of the worst films that's ever shown there.

He made The Well more recently with Lauren Laverna off the back of the Terror of Fire 3 thing.

Hello and welcome to Live from Manchester Morgue.

We're joined tonight by director Chris Schwab, who is going to tell us about his new film, Dracula The Night Around Us, which has its UK premiere at Frightfest in London on Sunday, 30th of August.

Chris, welcome to the show.

Hi, thank you for having

We have been in a very fortunate position where I think, Ben, I haven't done the full final count yet, but maybe...

the most, the biggest number of pre-Frightfest interviews before we even get on the ground so far this year, more interviews than there are days to release them still between now and go time, right? I still

don't know how we're going to do it because we're going to want to release them so that we're not going, oh, Frightfest is coming up, it's going to be fun afterwards, so we need to knuckle down, I think, yeah.

But yeah, probably the most coverage we've done pre-festival and then, yeah, at the festival as well, looking forward to it.

Chris Schwab, because we talked to director Chris Schwab.

He's got a movie coming out called Dracula The Night Around Us, which is having its UK premiere at Frightfest, which at the time this episode is released, will be in a few short days.

And the interview will be out just a couple of days before that.

Really enjoyed the film.

And it went on to then go and do other festivals.

But its first initial show was at Fright Fest London 2006.

They used to come over a lot.

And since I've been going, they haven't come over once.
