IAN McCULLOCH WILL be appearing at day two of The Shed of Hell horror and sci-fi convention being held in Rushden on 5-6 July 2025.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sponsored by The Dark Side <\/em>magazine, The Shed of Hell event promises “a spine-chilling weekend filled with iconic horror characters, creepy memorabilia, and everything macabre.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second day of the event will offer “Sunday horror with a sprinkling of sci-fi”. As well as McCulloch, other confirmed day two guests include James Taylor (Star Wars<\/em>, MCU<\/em>) and Ross Sambridge (Solo: A Star Wars Story<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also appearing at the event is Tony Mardon, the director of the upcoming film The Witches of the Sands<\/em> in which McCulloch appears. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ian McCulloch has achieved fame in several cult television and film productions. He first became a household name via his central performance as Greg Preston in Terry Nation’s popular BBC television series Survivors<\/em>, about a genetically engineered germ plague that nearly wipes out the entire population of the earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He then starred in several notoriously violent Italian made horror films of the early 1980s that were part of the “video nasty” controversy within the UK. McCulloch was the male lead in the Romero inspired Zombie Flesh Eaters<\/em> aka “Zombi 2” directed by Lucio Fulci, he was back battling more living dead in Zombie Holocaust<\/em> aka “Dr Butcher MD” directed by Marino Girolami, and then McCulloch took on interplanetary invaders in the Alien rip-off Contamination<\/em>, directed by Luigi Cozzi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McCulloch returned to BBC television, which included playing a villain in Warriors of the Deep: Part One, another role he is well-remembered for by cult television fans as well as a role in Doctor Who<\/em>.
