Dundee's annual horror festival returns for its eighth year this week.

Organisers said visitors to Dundead 2018 will be treated to all-new shockers and classic thrills.

The four-day festival opens at the DCA on Thursday with a horror film quiz followed by screenings of cult mystery The Endless and the original 1974 version of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Over the next few days audiences will be treated to a wide variety of classic films and previews of upcoming features.

Families will be catered to with screenings of Jim Henson's beloved tale The Dark Crystal and 1932 comic horror The Old Dark House.

The festival is also hosting a retrospective to genre legend Tobe Hooper, who died last year.

Christopher O'Neill, festival programmer, said: "Dundead Film Festival is now in its eighth year and it's going from strength to strength with yet another exciting line-up of new movies and a fine selection of classics.

"We could not let this year's festival pass without paying tribute to one of the most influential filmmakers of the horror genre.

"Tobe Hooper passed away last August which is a tragedy, but he left behind some wonderful movies and we know the Dundead audience are going to enjoy revisiting The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Eaten Alive, The Funhouse and Lifeforce digitally restored, uncensored and on the big screen."
