			Odeon West End 21st to 25th August 2008		It's so good it's scary - The Guardian

FILM4 FRIGHTFEST is the UK's premiere fantasy and horror film festival. Now in it's ninth year, each August thousands of genre fans gather together in the heart of London's West End at the prodigious Odeon West End cinema for five packed days of premieres, previews, personal appearances, signings and surprises.

DSCF0607 TICKETS ON SALE The fantastic value FILM4 FrightFest tickets went on sale to members of what seamed a much longer than normal sleepy queue on the 28th of June. They are also available on-line and over the telephone. This year the first members of the queue set up camp outside the Odeon West end at 8 a.m. on Friday the 27th. They then partied through the wee small hours into Saturday morning, receiving their rewarded, the coveted front row seats. (see left)

The initial batch of festival passes has sold out in a record twelve hours. There are still day passes on sale and of course our single tickets to every film will be available very soon. Because of the demand for festival passes, we are looking into putting more on sale. So don't worry if you haven't got yours yet, go to our ticket page to find out all the latest news on availability.
