Halloween: Grimm Up North 2

Let's continue our Halloween 'things to do' list with something truly horrific!

Running from October 28th - 31st in Manchester, UK, the Grimm Up North horror and SF festival is now in its second year, with last year being a huge success. With horror movies, both new and old, from all over the world, guest panels, exhibitons, live music and much more, there's something for everyone. Also, Grimm is teaming up with the Manchester Literature Festival and the Manchester Science Festival this year, which has created some interesting events such as the Killer Robots Seminar, Make A Monster Seminar and Grimm Reading.

"For those of you who want to grab a serious bargain, we’ve extended our Early Bird Festival Pass offer. You now have – till Monday September 20th to get access to all our feature film screenings (excluding gala night), shorts, seminars, Q+As, market and exhibitions for just £65.

At this point, we’ll be announcing the full festival lineup and the price of the festival pass will go up to £75 and while that is still unbeatable value, you should think about booking now if you want to get an even cheaper slice of the Grimm Up North action!"
