Melbourne will play host to a 10-day celebration of all things horror and fantasy as Monster Pictures Australia and Cinema Nova proudly present Monster Fest.

Kicking off on Halloween (31st October) Monster Fest will open with what could be Australia's first 'Blood Red Carpet' inviting guests to dress in their favourite horror film icon.

'Monster Fest is the ultimate celebration of all that is weird & wonderful in the international cult cinema palette' Neil Foley from Monster Pictures comments 'it is the culmination of a year spent searching for the coolest and edgiest films on the planet'.
