The Gothic Imagination - British Horor Film Classics

The British Film Institute (BFI) is joining forces with the British Museum to present a weekend of outdoor screenings of classic British horror films at the British Museum.

This Monster Weekend event  taking place 29 - 31 August is a curtain-raiser for a season of events nationwide exploring the dark heart of British movies inspired by the Gothic romances of Mary Shelley and Bram Stoker and those who follow in their spellbinding footsteps whose work has been brought to life on film.  The Monster Weekend includes screenings of Night of the Demon, Dracula and The Mummy - all British horror classics and will be the first in a series of landmark events designed to trail a major season lasting four months to be held at the BFI's headquarters on London's Southbank and across the UK between October 2013 and January 2014.

I don't like horror myself much but lots of people do and tickets are only £15 so you may need to book early. Details at bfi website www.bfi.org
