SUSPIRIA
FRIDAY 13 OCTOBER - 10pm (free entry) Pre-Fest Launch
Even though the Festacular's theme this year is Vampires, it's a treat for Italian horror fans with two Dario Argento movies and one from Lucio Fulci. What makes it even better is the fact that Argento's SUSPIRIA will be screened for FREE at the pre-Fest launch on Friday 13 October ! Suspiria is a wild, bloody visual trip and an astounding piece of Italian horror, featuring an absolutely brilliant soundtrack by The Goblins. Arrive early to avoid disappointment. Piranha Energy Drinks & vodka specials.
