This year, Fright Night Theatre is proud to have exposed genre fans to some of the best independent Canadian and international horror, thriller, and exploitation films of 2014 as part of our first-ever competitive screening programme. First, we took die-hard fans back to the boobs and blood of Tromaville for Return to Nuke'Em High (Volume 1). We tuned in to the mystery of German horror-thriller Radio Silence. We delved deep into the monstrous Canadian woods for a fatal Silent Retreat. Then we capped things off by skewering the New York art scene from the greasy hot dog cart of Bag Boy Lover Boy.
It's been a stellar season, and we're now thrilled to announce the winners of the first annual FRIGHT NIGHT THEATRE AWARDS, chosen by you the audience and our tireless team of film programmers.
The winners are......
