Forbidden Worlds Film Festival is dedicated to screening repertory fantasy, action, science-fiction and horror films from around the world and celebrating the people that made them. Forbidden Worlds Film Festival was created by a group of Bristol-based cinephiles in order to create a film festival dedicated to their mutual love of classic and obscure genre films and a desire to screen many of these films on the big screen.

Fun fact: Mario Bava was a uncredited cinematographer and apparently filmed the Cyclops scene.
