Wales' number one horror festival returned in 2018 for another spooktastic November with Friday The 13th director Sean S Cunningham as its special guest and a selection of scary films that was guaranteed to please. Its big focus was on classic slasher movies but it also featured some of the most highly acclaimed horror films found on the festival circuit that year.
The festival ran from 13 to 18 November.
