Night owls and gorehounds rejoice: there’ll be horror movies in the screening room every night, after the witching hour…

Our event guide went to press before we could confirm details of the horror films we're showing in the screening room, after midnight, on every evening of Weekender 2. But fear not! Here are full details (which will also be listed on posters of the full, up-to-date schedule, which will be on display around the venue).

SATURDAY NIGHT

Prefer to give the Maskerade ball a miss? Then drop by for another double-bill:

From 1.25am:
THE MASK OF SATAN
Certificate: 15 * Duration: 87 mins
This atmospheric example of shadowy gothic from 1960 (also released under the title Black Sunday ) is probably Italian horror maestro Mario Bava’s finest work. A 17 th century witch swears vengeance when she is burnt at the stake; two centuries later, her corpse is reanimated… The ethereally beautiful Barbara Steele plays both the undead witch and her innocent descendant.
