Don't be frightened to come forward with your suggestion for the best horror movie of all time.

City Screen, York is offering you the chance to enter a poll to decide which late-night shocker should be shown on Saturday, May 1 at 11.15am, but hurry because voting ends at midnight (naturally) tomorrow.

The idea was put forward to the Picturehouse cinema by York St John University student Lisha Blackhurst, who also invites cinemagoers to send in their reviews of the poll-winning film after the screening. Dave Taylor, marketing manager of City Screen, says: “We were bewitched by Lisha’s suggestion and if she’s right about all those horror fans out there in York, City Screen might run a series of late-night horror shows.”

Lisha, the event organiser, has asked Professor Andrew Tudor, head of the film, theatre and television department at the University of York, to select the best review to be published online. A renowned authority on the subject, he wrote Monsters And Mad Scientists: A Cultural History Of The Horror Movie in 1989 (and, incidentally, he has plans to pen a book on the representation of insanity in the cinema).

“The winner will receive a number of horror-themed prizes for their contribution but first, you’ve got to choose which film is going to be shown,” says Lisha.
