FrightFest has unveiled Graham Humphreys’ stand-out poster design for 2026 which marks the 27th anniversary of the UK’s most popular genre festival.
Graham, one of Britain’s most highly acclaimed British graphic artists and illustrators, said today: “The iconic monster stays the same, but turning the sky an apocalyptic blood red seems to hit the mood of the brutal heatwaves frying Europe this year, whilst making a hefty reference to a staple of horror movies and the favourite drink of all vampires. In a world scammed by media manipulation and the relentless march of AI, the FrightFest mascot takes a turn at puppeteering and reminds us that when we are stripped of symbols and identities, we are all clattering bags of bones alike”.
This year’s annual Bank Holiday event, the UK’s largest celebration of genre cinema, takes place at Odeon LUXE Leicester Square and Odeon LUXE West End between Thurs Aug 27 & Mon Aug 31, 2026.
The line-up of films will be announced on Thursday 16 July, 2pm UK time.
