So Ed, tell us a bit about yourself.

Well I work for the NHS and I do some stuff with computers. I actually get to mess people up with Casualty Simulation make-up. Basically Blood, burns & wounds.

This may a bit of an obvious question... What's you favourite Genre?

I love The Polar Express. It explored avenues I'd never even considered... very deep... but seriously!! Horror in general. I think Zombie films are more in touch with the real world than most genre's. You end up asking yourself if you could survive - I guess it's easier to imagine yourself in that situation. The idea that disease could threaten mankind to those kind of proportions is not a million miles away.

Favourite film?

El Sid, without doubt the greatest movie ever made!! If we're talking horror I would have to choose The Burning... Zombie film, Night of the living dead. Definitely.

So, how did Terror4fun come about?

Well I ran Murder Mystery weekends originally, then a friend asked me to entertain guests one evening. I ended up putting on a Zombie night and it stemmed from there...

Your Zombie weekends are getting more and more popular. But which one's been the best so far?

Zombie Fest 2007. Definitely. It rained and got dark very very early. I was worried about it - potentially that could have ruined the entire weekend but people seemed to think that it added to the atmosphere. It generated a real fear. People were scared to leave the safe proximity of the buildings. And the fact that only person survived made it all the more worthwhile!

So what's next on Terror4fun's agenda?

'Day of the Undead' Film festival. (Check out Day of the Undead here - KT) Then onto Zombie Fest 08!

Lastly, and most importantly. You're stuck in a Zombie infested city and are intent on making a break for freedom - you're allowed 3 items. What are they?

Hmm, that's a hard one. Ok. A hatchet, a flash light and most importantly, and I cant stress the importance of this next item. A 10kg bag of chocolate coated raisins.
