Re: Thoughts on Frightfest 2016

If you all missed out on tickets, why would you still be entiltled to choose "prime seats"? Sounds like it all worked out fine! When did I say I was entitled to choose? I just got there early in the hopes of getting a good seat and it was frustrating to have been stood outside the wrong s...

Re: Thoughts on Frightfest 2016

The Discovery screens were the same but at least were eventually labelled. And even then they were subject to change (in the case of FF3D- presumably because of the 3D setup), meaning a bunch of us queued outside screen 6 for 10 minutes before being told we all had to go to screen 4 whereupon most ...

Re: Thoughts on Frightfest 2016

Agreed the better films seemed to be on the Discovery screens. I think if I'd just sat in the main screen for the whole thing I'd've felt a bit stiffed on the scares front at the least and, final day aside, on the quality side too. Was delighted pre-booked tickets for Discovery screens didn't seem t...

Re: Can Thurs Night/Friday folks report in on the aircon situation as usual!

Personally found it a little bit warm and stuffy in the Horror screen by the final film of the night. Before then it was fine, certainly not cold by any definition. I'll see your 'warm and stuffy' and raise you a 'chuffing boiling'. It's like they switched the aircon off after Cell. Not going to be...

Re: Extra screenings of fully booked films

I can't help but feel this post I started has gone somewhat off track. Whilst we're here though, I guess the great thing about having a fixed seat in the main screen is that you don't need to have booked a film for that period to know you will have something to watch. I still recall being new to Fri...

Re: Pass Holder Discovery Screen tickets

Is there any chance extra screenings of the Discovery Screen films that sold out quickly will be put on?

Re: Extra screenings of fully booked films

Cheers for the suggestion but am not sure I'd want to leave it to chance like that, especially as it potentially means missing the start of your main screen film (i.e. fallback film) if there aren't any seats on the door :o

Extra screenings of fully booked films

Now that Frightfest has taken over the whole cinema complex, will any of the Discovery Screen films that free tickets went for very quickly be given additional screenings? I can't be the only person who missed out on one or two films they really wanted to see when booking tickets this morning.

Additional screenings in screen 7

Firstly, it's great to see another screen being put to use for rescreening some films (currently My Father Die and The Chamber).

Just wondering if holding a weekend pass allows entry to this screen as it does the Discovery Screens?

Re: Accommodation

If you're not opposed to hostels, then you can book 4 nights at somewhere local like St Christopher's Hammersmith ( https://www.st-christophers.co.uk/london-hostels/hammersmith 10-15min walk) for roughly £120 (sharing with 3 other randoms) or a private 2 person room at about £125pp. Not affiliated w...

Re: FrightFest has a new home for 2016

Also interested to hear how this will work regarding main screens. Looks like only one of the screens at Shep's Bush ( http://www.myvue.com/cinemas/facilities/cinema/shepherds-bush ) seats as many as any of those we had at the West End ( http://www.myvue.com/cinemas/facilities/cinema/west-end-leices...

Re: Discovery screen tickets

Yep, whole thing went pretty smoothly for me this time. Perhaps too smoothly since some of the screenings I wanted to see had already sold out by the time I got to them :( Does anyone know if there are there likely to be any extra screenings put on like in previous years? Personally, I'd love it if ...
