A double bill of horror comedy classics, An American Werewolf in London and Shaun of the Dead, as part of the FilmFear Halloween at HOME programme.
HOME is running a horror comedy double bill on Saturday 31 October, pairing An American Werewolf in London and Shaun of the Dead back-to-back. It's the Saturday night of the Halloween weekend, so you've got two classics in one sitting.
The pairing is part of FilmFear, a partnership with Film4 that brings four nights of cinematic terror to HOME over the Halloween weekend. Each of those four nights pairs two classic or cult films back-to-back, and this particular double bill is the comedy-fest of the lot, leaning into the campier, more humorous side of horror rather than the straight-up scares. You'll get the practical effects and dark wit of An American Werewolf in London followed by the deadpan Britishness of Shaun of the Dead.
That's just one part of the wider Halloween at HOME programme, which runs from 23 October to 6 November. Over those two weeks, the cinema mixes frightening films with chilling live theatre and family-friendly fun, so if you're in the mood for more than just one night of horror, there's plenty to pick from around the double bill. The FilmFear nights themselves are clustered around the Halloween weekend, with each one pairing two films just like this one.
