Nottingham is mostly known for guys in tights roaming the forest on the lookout to redistribute wealth. This year, however, Robin Hood and his Merry Men will be joined in the woods by Jason Voorhees! Thanks to Mayhem Film Festival celebrating their thirteenth edition over the Friday the 13th weekend, horror fans will be able to watch the third installment of the Crystal Lake caper. Taking place at the beautiful Broadway Cinema in the heart of Nottingham the festival runs from Thursday 12th October through to Sunday 15th. Take a look at the lineup below which climaxes with Canadian zombies in Dead Shack.
