PAUL ANNETT

Paul pictureIn The Beast Must Die Paul Annett created a wholly unique horror movie complete with the much-maligned gimmick of “the werewolf break”. His break with Hammer rivals Amicus led to a busy career in television and in the 1980s he was one of the key directors of Granada’s Sherlock Holmes series, with Jeremy Brett. Paul will be present on Saturday, August 10, to discuss The Beast Must Die and its enduring appeal among aficionados.

DEZ SKINN

Dez Skinn portraitThe legend that is Dez Skinn will join the ranks of Fantastiq in August. Dez was the brains behind House of Hammer magazine – a prime slice of ’70s comic gothic and a man who lured many a fan into the folds of fantasy films. We hope Dez will present a masterclass on how to run magazines as well as reminisce about his time on the all-too-brief glory days of HoH.
