Welcome
to the second Fantastic Films Weekend - 48 hours
of fear-filled movies and television from the
dark and cobwebbed vaults of the NMPFT. Once again,
in collaboration with the annual Manchester-based
Festival of Fantastic Films, Bradford is home
to an array of extraterrestrials, talking apes,
werewolves and apocalyptic survivors.
This
year's rare screenings include two stories from
sci-fi master Richard Matheson - The Incredible
Shrinking Man and The Omega Man - along with Franklin
J. Schaffner's spectacular original version of
Planet of the Apes, starring Charlton Heston,
and Murnau's timeless Nosferatu.
We
are delighted to be able to offer a super rare
opportunity for fright fans to catch all four
Alien movies in one day - with three of them in
glorious 70mm. Just how scary can life get?
Finally
we hope to be joined by special effects wizard
Bob Keen, the man behind the werewolves of Dog
Soldiers, and Jonathan Sands, managing director
of props archive Weird and Wonderful whose warehouse
is packed with everything from alien warriors
to 7ft werewolves - one of which will travel with
him to Bradford. Both Bob and Jonathan will discuss
their unusual jobs prior to a screening of Dog
Soldiers.
Feel
the fear
Tony
Earnshaw,
Head of Film Programming,
NMPFT.
