NORMAN J WARREN PRESENTS: HORRORSHOW (30 minutes) Welcome, Fright Festers, to the HORRORSHOW. Presented by a master of 70s British horror, it’s a blood-drenched anthology showcasing five tales of terror to delight the darkest side of your soul.
Over the course of 30 gore-spattered minutes you'll encounter the NEON KILLER; purveyor of a legendary and sadistic crime spree that has eluded two grizzled detectives - until now. THE FLEA finds a psychotic vampire hunter trying to coax his erstwhile partner back into the fold for one last slaying, in a disturbing, contemporary take on the vampire myth. THE INCURSION finds an intruder turning up more than he bargained for in a house full of dark secrets. THE INITIATION invites you to take a trip far outside the city limits to a place where arcane rituals have replaced all reason and sanity. And in SMILE, a young woman is left with a lasting impression of a failed relationship.
From the deranged minds of five up and coming UK directors, HORRORSHOW is a riotous concoction of 80s sleaze, 70s giallo, English gothic and rural horror, wickedly twisting familiar genre trappings with sly humour and some diabolically inventive splatter.
