The team behind The Day of the Beast accompanied the film. Other high-profile guests included Édith Scob, Christopher Lambert, Gregg Araki, Iván Zulueta, Robert Wise, Youssef Chahine, Lucio Fulci, and Todd Haynes. The spotlight was stolen by Mouth to Mouth, directed by Manuel Gómez Pereira and presented in Sitges by Joaquín Oristrell, Javier Bardem, Aitana Sánchez-Gijón, Fernando Guillén, and Josep Maria Flotats, among others. Still, the cult film Atolladero by Óscar Aibar also secured its place in Festival history. A remarkable roundtable was held with FX masters: Henri Alekan, Ray Harryhausen, and Carlo Rambaldi.
