Tickets for Merseyside’s only horror film festival have today gone on sale.

The Dead of Night Film Festival has been running for the past four years and is Liverpool’s only film festival dedicated to horror. The aim is to bring new independent horror short and feature-length films to the general public.

The festival will take place at Southport’s Bijou Cinema and will run from October 7 to 8. This year, seven films will be screened and twenty short films. A one-day ticket for the festival is £12, while a weekend ticket is £20.

The Bijou Cinema is a community cinema tucked into Post Office Avenue with 75 seats and an Optoma 8000-lumens projector.
