Below DEMONS AT DAWN’s writer, producer and co-star Chris Sanders talks about the horror he loves the most:

“My favourite horror film is the 1975 Tyburn production called The Ghoul. It stars Peter Cushing, Veronica Carlson and Sir John Hurt in his first film role. The movie is beautifully shot, boasting creepy, fog-covered moors, woodland, and a gorgeous Edwardian manor house. Peter Cushing gives a wonderful central performance, aided by the skilful direction of Hammer stalwart Freddie Francis. The Ghoul is an enjoyable, unnerving, and atmospheric classic British horror movie.”

DEMONS AT DAWN is available now on digital platforms from Black Coppice Films Ltd.
