Just a cheeky one: if you’re a South-bound horror fan with nothing to do on Sunday 29th May, it sounds like you should get your lovely, permanently-clenched-with-delicious-fear bottoms down to the Roxy Bar and Screen. There’s a screening of the 1974 classic The Beast Must Die as well as an introduction by Kim Newman (author of the utterly brill Nightmare Movies

The Beast Must Die comes from the legendary Amicus, the studio that dripped blood and stars Calvin Lockhart, Peter Cushing and Michael Gambon.

Tickets are a mere seven quid, and it sounds like it’ll be a stellar night for all you horror aficionados. GO FORTH, YOU GORE-HOUNDS (and by “forth” we mean here)
