Not content with dishing out just one of the premier events on every horror fan’s calendar year after year, the guys behind the Film4 FrightFest also run the Halloween All-Nighter – and we’ve got this year’s lineup right here for you, if you have the stamina to last it out!

From the Press Release: 
The FrightFest Halloween All-nighter returns to the Vue in London’s Leicester Square on Saturday, October 27 for another helping of choice shock-around-the-clock horror. And this year horror fans around the country can join in the fearful fun as, on Saturday, November 3, the event travels to the Picturehouse Cambridge, the Empires in Sunderland and Newcastle, and The Watershed Bristol.

Here’s the London line-up:

[28 October] 2.15am - BAIT 3D (UK Premiere)
From CUT director Kimble Rendall comes a new dimension in deep sea terror as shoppers at an Australian underground Oceania supermarket are under attack by a crazed bandit. Suddenly, the unimaginable happens. A monster freak tsunami swallows up the town. Now trapped, with rushing waves threatening to entomb them in a watery grave, the survivors discover they are not alone…
90 mins Director: Kimble Rendall Australia 2012 Cast: Xavier Samuel – Josh, Julian McMahon – Doyle, Phoebe Tomkin – Jaimie, Sharni Vinson – Tina, Cariba Heine – Heather

For details on the films screening at the other regional events, check out the official Film4 FrightFest website in order to avoid disappointment, as not all titles screening in London will be making an appearance elsewhere.

With an upcoming role on The Vampire Diaries and a new film, Bait 3D, on the way, Phoebe Tonkin is Australia’s ‘It’ girl on the rise. We caught up with the stunning actress to find out all about her new movie and life in the Hollywood eye.

DOLLY: What did you, Lincoln, Sharni and Xavier get up to between takes?
Phoebe: Because we were all staying in the same apartment block, we would cook for each other a lot. We would go for ice cream with Sharni and Lincoln always made us go out for Japanese!

…

YOU only need to know one thing about Bait 3D. A tsunami washes a shark into a supermarket. Down the aisle between the tinned tomatoes and baking needs comes the dreaded dorsal fin. The survivors of the wave huddle on an upturned shelving unit. Then the jaws with the rows of jagged teeth rise from the water, right in front of us. It’s 3D, remember! And CHOMP!

Bait 3D, an Australia-Singapore co-production starring a gaggle of Australian television actors including Julian McMahon (Nip Tuck), Xavier Samuel (Twilight: The Eclipse) and three Home & Away stars - Sharni Vinson, Phoebe Tonkin and Lincoln Lewis - had its world premiere in the midnight slot on Saturday night at the Venice Film Festival.

It seemed an unlikely festival selection, but the audience went crazy with joy as fake blood clouded the waters; even when the projection broke down and about 15 minutes of the film was repeated, everyone seemed happy to see it again. A tsunami of cheers swept towards director Kimble Rendall as the curtains closed.
