Well that’s it! We can officially close the book on my number one movie of 2023 because I finally got to see How to Kill Monsters and it’s an absolute belter.
Admittedly I was an adoring fan of Book of Monsters and I do think Lyndsey Craine is a bonafide yet hugely underrated superstar scream queen female lead. Then you throw in a smorgasbord of who’s who in the genre and a metric ton of gore, blood and guts. Safe to say I have been excited for this practical effects-driven low-budget Lovecraftian horror, sci-fi, comedy from director Stewart Sparke and his team at Dark Rift Horror.
How to Kill Monsters starts much the same as many other movies of its ilk… at the end…...

Stewart Sparke is no newbie when it comes to giant rubber monsters and bucketfuls of goo. With two big silly indie creature features already under his belt in past FrightFest favourites The Creature Below and Book of Monsters, you’d think he’d be tiring of this sort of thing by now. Ready to shift gears into a much cleaner romantic comedy, or something that doesn’t involve having to scoop coagulated brain juice out of your work shoes every evening. But with this third effort, he confirms what we probably already knew; not only is Sparke the king of this very specific brand of lovingly batshit micro budget crowd-pleasers, neither he nor his team are going anywhere either. They’re simply having too much fun.
A sort of spiritual sequel to 2018’s Book of Monsters, How To Kill Monsters is another naturally funny, adoringly made stab at the old-school genre nuts-and-bolts.

All Jamie Lancaster (Lyndsey Craine) wanted to do on Halloween was eat pizza, drink wine and watch a crap horror movie with her boyfriend. Instead, she is playing spin the bottle with a group of her partner’s college friends at an abandoned cabin. However, the stakes are raised when they swap the bottle for the Eldritch blade, an ancient artifact with various keys and symbols that can summon creatures from other worlds… what could possibly go wrong?
Five minutes and four mutilated corpses later, Jamie is the only person left when the police show up. With no creature in sight the authorities suspect that Jamie is the culprit; she is questioned at the police station and held in the cells. There she rubs shoulders with a bickering bachelorette party, a man who simply smiles and ‘Big Jen’. The only solace Jamie has is that she is safe from danger,...

Welcome to Give Me the Fear, a new Frightfest 2023 preview series hosted by screenwriter Stuart Wright.
These brief, spoiler-free interviews will – across the entire series – help you to discover the kind of knowledge and experience about how to make indie horror films that they don’t teach at film school.
After looking back at the blood, sweat and tears that went into their creative successes, I ask them one last question: If you could hand pick one person to be in the audience for your Frightfest screening, who would it be and why? I think you going to love the answers this question elicits.
This episode features How to Kill Monsters (Lyndsey Craine), Isaac (Tariq Sayed) and The Mancunian Man (Jake West).

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, despite the obvious age difference, I share writer-director Liam Regan’s fondness for satellite TV channel Bravo – especially during the “horned devil” logo years, where late nights were made up of cult TV shows, weird obscure films and a Ton of Troma movies. So much so that I too consider that period of the channel as a now legendary time in UK broadcasting. It was the channel that introduced me to a wider range of Troma movies outside of The Toxic Avenger and Class of Nuke’Em High (which were stalwarts of my local video shop And that guy that used to rent tapes...

In terms of the attention they generate, school shootings are one of the US’ most successful cultural endeavours. Would one not expect people to try to make money off them?
If you find this question upsetting, Eating Miss Campbell will not be for you. It carries the Lloyd Kaufmann seal of approval, branded by Troma, and the assumption is that viewers will know what they are going to get. In case they don’t, no time is wasted in explaining it to them, as the fourth wall may as well be entirely absent here. Heroine Beth opens by talking about her inability to choose the genre of the film in which she appears. She’d like to be in a romantic comedy, but instead she always finds herself in horror, and she’d be better off just killing herself so...

Ahead of Horror Channel’s UK TV Premiere of Book of Monsters, on May 14, director Stewart Sparke talks about the influence of horror fans, his obsession with the Alien franchise and collaborating with horror icon Nicholas Vince.
Did you know from a young age that you wanted to be a film director?
I remember first realising that I wanted to make films during one of many viewings of ‘The Mummy’ (1999) on VHS in my bedroom on an old 15” TV. I became quite obsessed with the film and tried to make all my friends come over to watch it because I wanted to share all the amazing trivia about how they made the special effects. This sparked the idea that perhaps I could make my own films and so my first effort was to remake the entirety of the Phantom Menace in my bedroom with myself and my friends miming along...

Zomblogalypse began life as a series of fifteen-minute episodes that ran on YouTube from 2008 to 2011. The tale of Miles (Miles Watts), Tony (Tony Hipwell) and Hannah (Hannah Bungard) three survivors blogging their way through the zombie apocalypse developed a cult following. The trio moved on to other projects before coming back to launching the feature version of Zomblogalypse in 2018.
After ten years of dodging zombies, Miles, Tony and Hannah are bored. Very, very, bored. Even a botched outing to find supplies doesn’t dispel that feeling for long. So what can they do to pass the time? Find any other survivors in the area, and make a movie about surviving the zombie apocalypse.

Dread's latest upcoming release is Dark Rift Films' Book of Monsters. This film is a mashup of '80s creature features. And, the film's Kickstarter campaign was unusual, in that it allowed backers to choose plot points in the film. Like a Choose-your-own-adventure novel, Book of Monsters was developed by director Stewart Sparke (The Creature Below) and writer Paul Butler. To release in mid-March, this title stars: Michaela Longden, Anna Dawson (1921), Lizzie Stanton and Lyndsey Craine. Many of these filmmakers have collaborated on the horror film The Creature Below (2016). A preview for Book of Monsters' upcoming Digital release is available here. Director Sparke has talked about Book of Monsters at recent film festivals.

Director Stewart Sparke and writer Paul Butler follow up their low-budget debut The Creature Below with the Kickstarter-funded monster movie Book of Monsters. Combining a witty script and practical special effects, it works as an affectionate homage to ’80s creature features while retaining a refreshingly modern-day approach to its gender politics.
Northern teenager Sophie (Lyndsey Craine) is about to turn eighteen, so her best friends Mona (Michaela Longden) and Beth (Lizzie Stanton) persuade her to have a wild and crazy house party while her widowed, well-meaning dad (Nicholas Vince) is out of town. However, things quickly spiral out of control when a suspiciously slinky gate-crasher (Steph Mossman) sneaks upstairs with an unsuspecting virgin (Arron Dennis) and performs a blood ritual that releases a host of monsters,...

Whatever you’re expecting from a British horror comedy called Book of Monsters you’ll get it here, in Stewart Sparke’s totally madcap micro-budget monster mash. A lovingly-made and naturally funny crowd-pleaser, it’s the sort of balls-to-the-wall low-rent genre filmmaking that’s kept the scene alive for so long, bathed in practical blood and guts and huge, physical puppets.
The plot itself is an old reliable; three teenage girls readying for a party to remember as Lyndsey Craine’s Sophie turns 18, only for the whole night to collapse into a series of violent encounters with a bunch of towering, blood-thirsty monsters. The dialogue’s a little ropey, some jokes don’t land as well as others, and the pacing could often use a bit of a tune-up. But all of these nitpicks are just that – tiny details that 99% of the film’s main audience will barely even notice...

"After we made The Creature Below we wanted to make something different - bigger, more badass exciting entertainment," says director Stewart Sparke, explaining why he and collaborator Paul Butler have chosen Book Of Monsters for their new project. It's the story of an 18th birthday party beset by the worst kind of gatecrashers. As six different monsters try to break into the home of Sophie (Lyndsey Craine) to devour the guests, she and five other young women who have no interest in being victims prepare for the fight of their lives. But what really makes the film stands out - at least at this stage - is the way it's being made.
