Called Dead Northern, highlights of this independent festival include Harrogate’s only ghost walk which is exclusive to the festival, a rare opportunity to view a selection of independent short and feature films as chosen by the Dead Northern film committee, plus classic horror film showings such as The Poltergeist - all taking place in the haunted Crown hotel.

And there will be a Halloween celebration not to be missed on Saturday night: celebrate From Dusk till Dawn in true vampire biker style at a themed evening at the Old Empire Theatre (now Cardamom Black restaurant), including a live film showing of the Tarantino cult classic From Dusk till Dawn with dinner and live entertainment.

The entire film festival will be compliant with the Government guidelines surrounding COVID-19 and pre booking is essential as screenings and events in Dead Northern tend to sell out.

Dead Northern runs from Friday, October 30 to Sunday, November 1.
