The Evolution of Horror Presents: The Lair of the White Worm + Live Podcast

Thursday 18th May, 2023

The Mockingbird Cinema - Screen 1 | 20:15 - 22:30

Ken Russell's The Lair of the White Worm will be unearthed again at Flatpack Festival for a special 35th anniversary screening.

Starring Amanda Donohoe as the vampiric Lady Sylvia Marsh and Hugh Grant as Hugh Grant, there are frights and funnies to be had when an ancient skull is uncovered and we learn of the dreaded D'Ampton Worm. Hugh will save us?

Presenting the screening are the UK's biggest horror and film history podcast, The Evolution of Horror. Host Mike Muncer will be on hand alongside podcaster and writer Becky Darke to introduce the 1988 cult classic. The pair will also be inviting the audience to take part in a live podcast recording following the film and they'll be joined on stage by Elizabeth Bishop (writer and senior contributor of Ghouls Magazine) and Tim Coleman (critic and editor of the Moving Pictures Film Club).
