THE highlight on the calendar for Rhyl horror fans has been hailed a success.
The second Rhyller Thriller Horror Extravaganza was held at the Town Hall on Saturday.
A festival of all things horror, it attracted horror fanatics from near and far, including London and Brussels.
Director Neil Marshall was the guest of honour, taking part in a Q&A, along with Janine Pipe and actor Craig Conway, after screenings of his acclaimed Dog Soldiers and The Descent.
A popular addition to the event was the fringe alternative market, which people could visit for free.
On offer were a range of alternative, goth and horror wares and collectables.
