The Zombie Bus is coming!

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

Not bought your ticket yet? Not even sure how you’ll get there? Problem solved: get the Zombie Bus and travel in style.

It’s a bus. It’s got tunes, zombie make-up, bloody marys, beers, food and it’ll get you to the Big Chill in time for filming. What more do you need?

The buses leave the Big Chill bar at midday on Thursday 6th August, and will be fully equipped for zombification and good times. The Zombie Bus Package trip to the Big Chill Festival 2009 costs just £170 and includes a festival ticket, bus travel to and from the festival, food, drink and a zombie make0ver.

The two Zombie buses leave London from:

The Big Chill House, 257-259 Pentonville Road, Kings Cross, N1 9NL (map) and the Big Chill Bar, Dray Walk, off Brick Lane, E1 6QL (map) at midday on Thursday 6th August.

Frightfest tickets come with fur & fangs

Friday, June 19th, 2009

Horror fans, the gore doesn’t stop at the Big Chill.  Film4 Frightfest is an annual binge of all that is blood-spattered and terrifying. This year they’ve got something very special: the world premiere of American Werewolf In London – John Landis’ 1981 classic restored to shining g(l)ory, in a double bill with “making of” documentary Beware The Moon by writer/director Paul Davis AND members of the original cast and crew in attendance.

It may not be zombies, but we reckon you’ll like it anyway.

Frightfest takes place over the August bank holiday (27-31 Aug) but tickets go on sale at 11am on 4 July for people buying in person, and midday via online and telephone sales. For more details check out their site.
