BEWARE THE MOON:

Night Of The Living Dead

Friday 3rd August, 2018

Dudley Castle | 19:00 - 23:15

They're coming for you!

Romero’s Night of the Living Dead is often cited as being one of the most influential horror films of all time, following a group of desperate civilians who fight to avoid death at the hands of flesh-eating zombies when the dead suddenly come back to life.

And what better setting for this film than the grounds of Dudley Castle? With the audience sat amongst the castle ruins, ankles dangerously close to the ground, where zombies could quite easily burst forth from at any moment...

Please note: outdoor events go ahead come rain or shine. Tickets are non-refundable.

Beware the Moon

This screening is part of the third installment of ‘Beware the Moon’, a yearly screening event that turns Dudley Castle into an open air cinema for your delight and enjoyment. There will be hot food, a licensed bar, mood-lighting & special effects, and as always a surprise or two thrown in for good measure. Don’t forget to bring along a chair and/or a blanket.

Night of the Living Dead is one half of a Dudley Castle Double Bill - we’ll be screening The Lost Boys on Saturday 4th August.

PLEASE NOTE THAT TICKETS TO OUR SCREENING OF 'THE LOST BOYS' HAVE NOW SOLD OUT.

7pm: Doors open
9pm: Warmup films

This screening of Night Of The Living Dead is supported by Film Hub Midlands, and is part of the UK-wide Uprising: Spirit of 68 programme.
