From Horace Walpole and Mary Shelley to Clive Barker and Garth Marenghi. From The Haunted Curiosity Shop to Shaun of the Dead. British horror has revolutionised and revitalised the genre. This is the community to celebrate this. Local horror for local people, no-tails also welcome.

You’d have to travel many miles for a more concentrated array of frights than the one assembled each year by FrightFest, the UK’s biggest horror film festival. Even in a year already replete with classy horror flicks, the line-up for August’s five-day fest looks like a seriously unsettling one. Gorehounds, midnight movie aficionados, cult-heads and more casual horror fans are catered for across 69 films and five days and nights between August 22-26.

But what are this year’s proper FrightFest frighteners? The cortisol-inducing films that will lurk in your nightmares? We asked festival co-founder and all-round horror maven Alan Jones to pick five gnarly cuts that will give even the hardiest movielover pause. Book them if you dare.

They are:

  1. Test Screening
  2. A Desert
  3. Strange Darling
  4. Shelby Oaks
  5. Charlotte
