Frighten Brighton Supports The Black Gallery!

Brighton is renowned for its art scene and its embracing of kooky, different and new ideas and concepts. One of the most popular interactive art concepts in Brighton is the “Open House” which is an opportunity for the public to view and buy original artworks in the artists home. The Underground Open House Movement is a darker more gothic take on this concept which should appeal to horror fans across Sussex.

One of the artists involved in The Black Gallery is horror maestro Billy Chainsaw of the Horror Channel, Bizarre magazine, Strippers Vs Werewolves, Macabre Market and Frighten Brighton fame. The Black Gallery is open every weekend throughout May but the Underground Open House Movement doesn’t end there; they will be holding ongoing events throughout the year so check out their website for further details.

Frighten Brighton will keep you updated on The Black Gallery and The Underground Open House Movement over the coming weeks so keep watching this space!!

Frighten Brighton Cinematheque Cult Movie Night – YOU Choose The Movie!

Frighten Brighton has been asked to host a cult movie night at The Globe pub in Brighton’s historic Laines on Tuesday 19th June as part of their regular Basement Cinema slot – so we thought we’d give you a chance to vote for which film you’d like us to screen! The show kicks off at 8pm and not only can you text your drinks orders to the bar so you don’t have to leave your seat, there is free popcorn too!

So, what cult classic would you like to see at Basement Cinema as part of the Frighten Brighton Cinematheque? Will it be the seventies cheese of The Doll Squad, Japanese monster mayhem from Gamera: Guardian of the Universe or over two hours of non-stop horror and exploitation with Grindhouse Trailer Classics? Or maybe you prefer some zombies ( Zombies! Zombies! Zombies! ), British vampires ( Razor Blade Smile ) or trashy sci-fi ( Starcrash )? Just vote in our poll below and Frighten Brighton Cinematheque will present YOUR choice on Tuesday 19th June!

The Globe can be found at 78 Middle Street and is one of the very few traditional pubs in close proximity to the seafront clubs and there’s even a Sherlock Holmes style library downstairs!

Don’t forget you can still book tickets for the FRIGHTEN BRIGHTON CLASSIC HORROR FILM FESTIVAL taking place on Saturday 19th August at The Komedia Brighton.

GIANT ANTS INVADE BRIGHTON!

As part of the FRIGHTEN BRIGHTON CLASSIC HORROR FILM FESTIVAL we will be screening fifties giant monster movie THEM! (1954) the terrifying story of huge monstrous ants attacking the city of Los Angeles! Starring James Whitmore, Joan Weldon and James Arness, Them! was nominated for an Oscar for its ground-breaking special-effects and is widely regarded amongst film connoisseurs as a true science-fiction horror classic.

The film starts off as a simple suspense story, with police investigating mysterious disappearances and unexplainable deaths and builds to a climactic battle between man and giant insect in the claustrophobic confines of the Los Angeles storm drain system.  So come and join in the monster fun on Saturday 11th August at the Brighton Komedia and be a part of the British Cannes of horror – Frighten Brighton!
