Film4 FrightFest 2015 has announced its guest line-up, which includes Barbara Crampton, Rick Wakeman, James Cosmo, Toyah Willcox, Neil Marshall and Bernard Rose.

Scream Queen Barbara Crampton is Film4 FrightFest’s special guest icon, appearing in no less than four films in this year’s line-up. She stars in We Are Still Here, Road Games and Sun Choke, as well as making a cameo appearance in Tales Of Halloween. As well as introducing all her films, Crampton will also be talking about her career during a special interview event, hosted by Alan Jones, on Sunday 30 August at 9.15pm.

“To say that I am overjoyed, excited and eager to attend FrightFest as a guest is putting it mildly,” Crampton said. “This festival has been on my radar for some time and to be included and have four films screening is a welcome nightmare from which I hope never to wake.”

FrightFest also celebrates the prolific and enduring artist Graham Humphreys, who will be talking about his career designing posters in the Drawing Blood event on Sun 30 August at 7pm. Another special event to look forward to is Film4’s own Catherine Bray, who will be hosting a Diy Filmmaking panel discussion on Sun 30 August at 11.15am.

FrightFest is also delighted to host British writer/director Bernard Rose. The director of the highly acclaimed cult horrors Paperhouse and Candyman makes a triumphant return to the fear forefront with his Frankenstein reboot.

Opening film Cherry Tree will see director David Keating and leading cast members Anna Walton, Naomi Battrick, Sam Hazeldine, Patrick Gibson and Minnie Phipps in attendance, while closing film Tales Of Halloween will be watched by three of its directors – FrightFest veteran Neil Marshall, Axelle Carolyn and Mike Mendez.
