As Cannes rolls into its second week, the Fantastic Pavilion is blessing us with more horror news from The Séance, You Know Films' first-of-its-kind digital show about the market’s genre film buzz with partnership from FANGORIA and Paramount Scares.

In the latest edition of The Séance, You Know Films' founder and Fantastic Pavilion Producer Alex Noyer got to chat with actor Graham McTavish (Rambo, The Hobbit, Witcher, Preacher, House of the Dragon) about working with Lord of the Rings‘ Peter Jackson (who horror fans obviously know for his 1992 splatter cult classic Braindead/Dead Alive), his new role in Starz' Spartacus: House of Ashur, and the link between fantasy and horror.

McTavish was at Cannes with the team of Gunn, the upcoming survival action-horror from Dog Soldiers and The Descent director Neil Marshall and writer Doug Rao (Dirty Boy), which follows a North Sea oil rig overtaken by a pagan sect.
