Don't Be Afraid to Book Your Edinburgh Hotels for the Dead by Dawn Festival

    MANCHESTER, ENGLAND, March 18, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Horror film enthusiasts from around the globe have just a few weeks to prepare for the Dead by Dawn festival, which begins in Edinburgh next month.

Set to run between Thursday April 30th and Sunday May 3rd, the event features a range of different types of movies, from the very best offerings from the independent cinema circuit to premieres and previews of upcoming blockbusters.

Complementing the newer films will be a programme including a range of classic features, as well screenings of rare and obscure pieces.

Audience members are able to vote for their favourite movie in three different sections, Best Feature, Best Short and the Cutting Edge gong for debut and emerging filmmakers.

The latter sees a total of ten short films screened - both live action to animated - and can serve as a launching pad for budding George A Romeros and Alfred Hitchcocks.

Meanwhile, tickets to the Spawn of the Dead party - which rounds off the festival on the night of Saturday May 2nd - are also available for 25 GBP.
