Insert rude word here. This has not been a good week so far!

if there is a chance for signings to be done, i would really love someone to take my evil dead book of the dead,you know the rubber faced one to be signed.
i would be very grateful

I don't mind doing it for you if you want

Message for the Frightfest guys - are you able to get hold of a few posters of the film for us to get signed?

Wow, looks like I was lucky to get my tickets as I couldn't start ringing until 12.04 due to being in work.

Very excited now!

im pretty sure i have some some posters of Sam Raimi's movies
Darkman
spiderman trilogy
The gift
and can certainly source other titles if anybody would like me too.
just pm me

Managed to get my ticket earlier - there was only a small number of people in the queue.

Maybe the cinema store could have a small stall selling posters/merchandise on the day for anyone that wants it!

Wish I didn't know about it now!
Not even going to ask for spare tickets,but any chance of an extra showing?
Damn frightfests poularity!

Aww Giz... I very nearly bought 3!!! so I could do the extra thing... but my card wouldn't permit it...

Beg to Ian... Beg and then when he refuses... CURSE Him.... hold on....

I've been lucky before with these events,so can't be too grumpy.

BUT...If there was a way for me to get an Evil dead poster signed,I would do whatever was requested of me!

would have loved to go but we'll be up north visiting family, having barbeques and I'll be getting my foot tattooed. Should be good fun too!

Anyone out there with a spare ticket and a sympathetic ear?, I was on the phone at bang on 12.00 and after 15 minutes of re-dialing and being held in a queue I finally got through only to be told it had sold out!, I'm gonna be gutted to miss this, I'm a huge fan and this'll be the first London event I'm gonna miss, please help a Frightfester in distress .

I'm sorry that many of you didn't get tickets. However, the plan is to film the whole event so if you were unfortunate enough not to get a ticket, you will be able to see what goes on.

Great!, reminds me of when Jim Bowen used to say "let's have a look at what you could have won!" .

On a serious note though, is there a reason this event is being held at the ICA?, there was obviously going to be a huge demand for tickets but you're holding it in the smallest venue you use in London, in the past you've used the Odeon West End, the VUE and Cineworld Trocadero, surely one of those would have been more appropriate for this event.

I will be spending the day with a bunch of elderly relatives, so technically I'll already have been "dragged to hell" by the time you lot even sit down!

I thought it's illegal to make cam jobs at the movies

It's amazing, i had a head's up WEEKS before this and still i forgot to get a ticket!

It's for the best though. 1- i'm not the greatest raimi fan. (i only have 'the gift' and army of darkness on VHS in my collection.)
2- my friend wants to watch it, so this will be part of our little date/catch up.

Though i'm so getting my ticket for june's midnight movie VERY EARLY! Like this friday early!
