Listen To This Now – acting co-director Leonie Rowland made an appearance on Evolution Of Horror!

August 31, 2023 grimmfest

We’re honoured to be partnering with Mike Muncer’s Evolution Of Horror podcast at Grimmfest 2023 – Mike and friends will be in attendance for the entire weekend, and will be holding a panel discussion after our screening of 1988 lost J-Horror classic DOOR!

Evolution Of Horror is the UK’s #1 horror podcast, and who better than Mike himself to sum up the idea behind the show –

“EofH is a weekly movie discussion podcast that covers the history of horror cinema, one sub-genre at a time. From Universal Monsters to 80s slashers, from Alfred Hitchcock to Jordan Peele, we’ve got it covered! Each week, host Mike Muncer is joined by a different guest from the world of horror to discuss a movie in depth and its place in horror history..”

Heady stuff, but Mike always keeps it light and engaging and he always has excellent guests!

Right now he’s way into Home Invasion season (week 21!) and on the latest episode, SWITCHBLADE ROMANCE/THEM or HAUTE TENSION/ILS with guest Rosie Fletcher (a previous member of the Grimm jury!), and Grimmfest 2023’s acting co-director Leonie Rowland stopped by to talk to Mike about the festival ahead of their appearance with us!

The chat starts around 57 minutes in, but I highly recommend listening to the entire episode:

With Lord and Lady Grimm, Simeon and Rachel, focusing on their next feature PAST LIFE the mantle has fallen upon Leonie and Linnie to become acting co-directors for this year’s festival and they’re doing a fantastic job!

Don’t miss out – passes and tickets for Grimmfest 2023 are available right now!
