Halloween screenings

DUNDEE Contemporary Arts (DCA) will this year feature three Halloween favourites to get audiences into the spirit of the season.

Leading the charge on Friday is ’80s cult classic The Lost Boys, with vintage horror The Tingler being shown on Saturday and modern classic Let The Right One In being screened on October 31.

Audience members are encouraged to dress up in their best vampire costumes for the showing of The Lost Boys, which follows brothers Sam and Michael as they become involved with a pack of vampires when they move into an offbeat northern California town.

Tickets for all three screenings are available now. SL I M M E R S have come up with a real recipe for success by collecting 120 bags for city foodbanks.

Three Dundee Slimming World groups clubbed together and produced the bumper donation in just one week.

The group collected so much that the foodbank van had to make two runs.

Ginevra McComiskie, a consultant, heaped praise on her members and said: “Everyone pitched in and they have all been great.

“It has been a massive response and all in just one week.

“I asked everyone at my three classes in Dundee if they could bring in donations and it was a great effort.

“We started to put the food into bags and quickly filled at least 60.”

Foodbank organisers ask for non-perishable goods such as pasta, rice, tinned vegetables, canned fruit and coffee.

Dundee has reported a rise in the need for foodbanks throughout the city due to several factors.
