This year our exclusive interview feature is back bringing you some insidious insights into the frightful folks whose horror films will be blowing audiences away at Grimmfest 2021.

Below we get some Grim Tidings from Erik Bloomquist director and co-writer of Night at the Eagle Inn

1. Tell us why you are at Grimmfest?
We love the culture, curation, and community!

2. How did you get into horror?
I’ve always love stories that awaken the imagination and bring people together, and I think horror is uniquely equipped for both.

3. What scares you the most?
Time

4. Who or what is your favourite horror character?
Too many to name, but I’ve always kind of wanted to be Charley Brewster in Fright Night. Ha.

5. What is the grimmest thing you ever saw?
Kind of a tangent answer, but there have been a couple of times in my life when I’ve woken up in the middle of the night in the total dark of my room having no recollection of where I am, and it’s scared the hell out of me.

Night at the Eagle Inn plays on Fri, Oct 8th, 12:45 PM @ Odeon Screen 6 and you can find out more and book your ticket HERE.
