The line-up for our fabulous fifth edition of FANTASTIQ represents some of the classic years of ’70s and ’80s horror and sci-fi.

Please join us in welcoming horror tag-team NORMAN J.WARREN and DAVID McGILLIVRAY, the director/screenwriter combo responsible for the likes of Satan’s Slave (pictured with the delicious Candace Glendenning). Norman and David will be with us on Friday, April 28.

ALAN JW BELL was the director behind the BBC’s ground-breaking series The Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. He will be making his first-ever festival appearance to talk about the beloved show and will offer an insight into why series 2 never happened. Alan joins us on Saturday, April 29. All six episodes of the show will be screened. He will also be signing copies of his book A Hitch in the Galaxy: Making a TV Legend.

Finally, we are thrilled to welcome LESLIE MEGAHEY on Sunday, April 30. Best known to fans of televisual terror as the director of the cult favourite Schalcken the Painter, he will be speaking about this timeless slice of TV, which is also screened.
