Hosted at the Cinema Nova on Lygon Street, Monster Fest will open with A Night with Linda Blair and the 40th Anniversary of The Exorcist. Despite the mouthful, the night will feature a Q&A panel session with Linda Blair hosted by Paul Harris. Blair will also be available after the screening of The Exorcist for signatures.
Other highlights of the festival include a marathon cult horror series A Nightmare on Elm Street, a one-night-only Skype session with horror icon Tom Savini (Dawn of the Dead, Django) who will present the Tarantino/Rodriguez classic From Dusk Till Dawn on Monday November 27, erotic vampire gore Kiss of the Damned and many, many more.
