FrightFest 2012 – A Quick Visual Guide

Take a peek at all of these lovely snap shots of what was happening onsite at FrightFest the 13th this year. We leave no stone unturned when it comes to peeking at the guests, staff and, of course, the fans!

The Fans

First arrival at the pub for the pre-festival drink!

But they are soon joined by support!

Hello Simon Rumley!

FrightFest merch is always there!

And more merch!

Don’t forget the official goodie bag!

Michael Myers showed up to help check the passes.

As did Freddy.

And Pinhead!

Who the hell invited this guy?

Greg Nicotero happy to pose with fans!

The main foyer can tend to get a bit busy between screenings.

That won’t stop Emily Booth messing around with Alan Jones!

Queues for signatures! Who could all these people be waiting for?

Why it’s the Soska twins, Jen and Sylvia!

And sign they did.

Day 5 was just as rammed as any other day.

See!

The helpful crew were always about to help anyone out and got a well deserved round of applause at the end of the festivities from the fans.

Some fans taking a moment to strike a pose.

The Talent

The Seasoning House cast and crew

Cockneys Vs. Zombies director Mattias Hoene.

Dario!!!!

One of the many directors of V/H/S.

Rec 3 director Paco Plaza.

Rec 3 star Carla Nieto

Ross Noble with his Stitches director.

Alex Chandon conducted a musical commentary for his film Inbred which screened last year.

No not Chaz and Dave, it’s Paura 3D and The Arrival of Wang directors The Manetti Brothers. Filmwerk might have chucked a piece of paper at one of them during a screening… but not for a signature (turn your bloody phone off!)

Paura 3D and The Arrival of Wang star Francesca Cuttica

Simon Pegg and Greg Nicotero.

Greg Nicotero with his Variety Award

Tulpa cast members

Tulpa director Frederico Zampaglione and his leading actress/wife Claudia Gerini.

The Inside cast and crew.

Leading actress from The Inside.

Tonia Sotiropoulou … soon to be seen in Skyfall.

More from Berberian Sound Studio, Susanna Cappallaro

Eugenia Caruso… Isn’t she sweet!

Those Berberian Sound Studio actors just keep lining up! Cosimo Fuscu

Berberian Sound Studio’s Antonio Mancino. Let the Clooney comparisons commence!

Whilst Antonio grabs the centre stage, let’s not forget director Peter Strickland at the back.

And yes. We do just want to put her in our pockets and walk away with her.

American Mary herself, Katherine Isabelle.

And all three of the ladies together.

Sorry! We need to have another look!

The lovely Jennifer Lynch showed up to promote Chained.

And finally the Tower Block peeps showed up.

Ralph Brown showed up. We couldn’t hear him, but we suspect it involved M&M’s, a brandy glass and Ozzy being late on stage.

Ralph and the still beautiful Julie Graham.

More Tower Block peeps!

Leading lady Sheridan Smith arrives last and very late. They will make us wait.

The Staff

Just check out Graham Humphrey’s impressive artwork!

Mags on the video crew waits patiently to film the on stage antics.

Alan Jones responding to a bit of “Oi You! Look at the camera.”

Alan then directs rude photographers to the exit!

Paul McEvoy is always around if you need him, I think that’s Nicotero again we spot behind him!

Greg Day never off his feet spent a lot of his time by the media wall.

Nick “the fifth Beatle”Gibbs-McNeil of FrightFest pushes his idea for a JarJar Binks trilogy upon a fan.

We shit you not!

Paul Smith was also on hand working the PR angle.

And this is the usual rabble that Greg and he had to deal with on a daily basis.

The Master of all he surveys.

But watch out behind you Greg…

Too late!

Let’s not forget Ian Rattray who spent many a moment with the fans!

The Empire bar staff have got themselves in a routine of doing a bit of horror make-up each year. So Filmwerk duly stalked them each day to see what they could come up with to frighten the kids!
Day 1

And we are off to a bloody start!

Day 2

We’re not sure what this look is meant to represent.

But we think pulling a kisses face helps improve it!
