About
The Big Scream is Forbidden Worlds' blood-soaked horror weekend, turning the giant Bristol Megascreen into a temple of terror just in time for Halloween. Each edition takes a fresh theme and digs into the lurid, the cult and the boundary-pushing, from silent-era chillers to modern shockers.
Shown loud and larger than life the way horror is meant to be seen, it is three nights of screams, surprises and some of the most striking genre cinema around. Whether you are a seasoned horror fan or simply up for something gloriously different, it is a Halloween highlight for film lovers in Bristol.
