I’ll drop in a little more background about the event as I go on. Saying that, the categorisation of ‘pure horror’ is a rather subjective term in itself though, so to others the selections may be exactly what they’re looking for.Īnyway, before I blather on I will refocus and tell you about the films and the festival on a day-to-day basis.
I’ve nothing against that, but I thought it was of note as, if you only have an interest for pure horror films, you may find some of her selections a little odd or disappointing.
However, I think, in recent years Adele has moved away from the remit of showing just out and out horror films and has now diversified a little to show a wider range of films, all of which are still beautifully deranged, but they often can’t quite be categorised as being purely horror. I’ve been attending Adele’s festival now for over a decade (and then some) and have seen it grow in stature and size. Initially set up by Adele back in the mid-nineties when, after she bemoaned the lack of any horror festivals in Edinburgh to her friends and their retort was for her to get on with it then, she decided to have a go and the rest, as they say, is history. Run by the ever-enthusiastic Adele Hartley, Dead by Dawn has been running for nearly 20 years and has now become a staple in the horror fan’s calendar. Just a few short months on from attending the Abertoir horror festival I’m back to report on an even longer running horror festival, namely Scotland’s premier horror film festival, Dead by Dawn. Part 2 of Justin’s write-up can be found here and Part 3 is here. Justin Richards fills us in on the films shown at Dead By Dawn, Scotland’s finest horror film festival.
