In advance of this year’s ESFF, we’re delighted that one of our favourite comedies from yesteryear – Boris in the Forest by Robert Hackett is now online!
With 50 festival screenings and 8 awards and featuring the inimitable Mac McDonald, Boris in the Forest follows a geeky American tourist in search of his horror hero, Boris Karloff and was a favourite at the 2016 ESFF!
