Halloween All-Dayer/Nighter 2015

Post by bacchus »

I know everyone has barely caught their breath after (in my opinion) one of the highest quality Frightfests in years, and no doubt the organisers are enjoying a well deserved break after such a busy few months preparing, but what films would you all like (hope) to appear at the All-Nighter/All-Dayer this year - assuming it's back ofcourse (don't know if it's been confirmed?).

For me, I'll keep it simple, I really want to see:

The Witch (showing at LFF in a few weeks, so it will be before any all-nighter date and that means it's potentially available..)
Goodnight Mommy (has done the rounds and surprised not to see it at the main event but this would be great too)

I know it's not as easy as "oh we'll have that film, and that one too" due to distribution deals, schedules and a variety of other issues that arise with distributors and whoever else is promoting the film, so those two are really just dream requests.

Otherwise, wouldn't mind seeing:

Bastard
The Dark Below
Green Room (again showing at LFF but would fit nicely)
Martyrs remake

Wishful thinking on my part, but I’d love to see Attack on Titan parts 1 and 2 at the all (day?)nighter as it looks completely batshit. Part 2 will have been released in Japan by then, but I’ve no idea what the plans for a UK release are... probably a quiet screening at the PCC and then straight to DVD.

They can't show something that has a deal with the LFF, hence the Kaboom issue in 2010. It also means its not an exclusive film to Frightfest.

Does it need to be exclusive to Frightfest? There were a few big films this year at the main even that weren't exclusive (I.e weren't premieres) like 'The Hallow' and 'The Nightmare'. Don't think audiences are too bothered by whether its an exclusive as long as its a good film.

Is it set in stone that a film that shows in LFF can't be shown at Frightfest after LFF has finished? Assuming the all-dayer/all-nighter will be around Halloween, that will be 2 weeks after LFF finishes on the 18th. Don't see why that would be an issue for a one-off event.

German Angst is on at Grimmfest, so unlikely.

I dont know if there's an 'exclusivity' clause anywhere in terms of the films being new or exclusive to FF, but I do think that logic says people are less likely to fork out for something with a high proportion of films that they've already seen.

I'm waiting for the Celluloid Screams lineup to be announced next week which is (provisionally) the same weekend, therefore if the allnighter is on Oct 24th which one I go to depends completely on if the vast majority of CS films are ones I've already seen at FF/GF in the last couple of months. So I'm definitely looking out for new stuff :).

It Follows was screened by Frightfest after it screened at LFF. So I guess they can screen The
Witch.

are you going to grimmfest too then? did you pick your films more wisely than me cos i have managed to see so many that grimm almost isnt worth it now :(

if i had known the grimm lineup a week earlier i would have dodged the hallow, howl, bloodsucking bastards etc and watched things like night fare and sun choke.

Are we correct to think there are just 2 venues for the Halloween allnighter this year, or are the other venues not listed yet simply because details are still being finalised?
No tears, please. It's a waste of good suffering.
