BLACULA (1972)

A BLAXPLOITATION MIDWEEK SPECIAL DOUBLE FEATURE!
Dir. William Crain - 1972 - 93m - Valid for Punch Cards

The William Marshall Drive-In Classic as part of our BLAXPLOITATION MID WEEK with author Josiah Howard!

It’s on!  Author of the the superb compendium Blaxploitation Cinema: The Essential Reference Guide Josiah Howard (who also curated all the chosen films for this midweek) will be in our cinema house to introduce & do a post screening discussion!  Welcome to BLAXPLOITATION MIDWEEK!

DOUBLE FEATURED (2-MOVIES-FOR-THE PRICE-OF-ONE, SEE ONE OR BOTH FOR THE SAME PRICE!) WITH THE GORDON PARKS JR. LEGENDARY BAD ASS ORIGINAL 70’S LANDMARK SUPER FLY (1972)!

The eternally cool William Marshall puts a fresh spin on the age-old legend of the vampire, condemned to wander the Earth with an insatiable lust for blood in these riveting Blaxploitation classics.

William Marshall (Twilight’s Last Gleaming, Pee-wee’s Playhouse, Maverick) stars as African Prince Mamuwalde in Blacula, the avant-garde blaxploitation horror film that’s both subversive and refreshingly entertaining. In 1780, Mamuwalde travels to Transylvania seeking Count Dracula’s (Charles Macaulay, Splash, Star Trek) support for the abolition of the slave trade between their countries. Instead, Dracula curses the prince by transforming him into a vampire and locking him in a coffin. Two centuries later, Blacula is set free in modern day Los Angeles to terrorize the city in his nightly quest for blood. William Crain (Dr. Black, Mr. Hyde, TV’s The Dukes of Hazzard) directs and Vonetta McGee (Hammer, The Eiger Sanction, Repo Man, The Great Silence), Denise Nicholas (Let’s Do It Again, TV’s In the Heat of the Night, Room 222), Elisha Cook (Rosemary’s Baby, The KIlling, House on Haunted HIll) and Thalmus Rasulala (Friday Foster, New Jack City, Above the Law) co-star!

“Blacula is beautiful, a totally entertaining movie that is not only a successful satire... but also provides a number of genuinely terrifying moments.” - Dick Lochte, Los Angeles Free Press

“Vibrant funking-up of Hammer bloodsuckers” - Fernando F. Croce, CinePassion

Very Sad News last week. Anthony Head passed away June 1 at just 72 years old. Who will Watch the Slayer now that Giles is gone? (He also had great performances in "Ted Lasso," on stage in "The Rocky Horror Show," audio adventures of "Doctor Who," and in "Merlin".) He will be missed.

We are devastated to learn of the passing of Anthony Head, endeared to fans around the world for his role as Rupert Giles on BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER the series. He also starred in REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA, LET THE WRONG ONE IN, and his own five-part supernatural docuseries titled TRUE HORROR WITH ANTHONY HEAD, as well as many other films, plays, and productions. We send out deepest condolences to his friends, fans, and family.

There can only be One! Bubonicon will bring a couple of door prizes to the 10:30 pm Friday, June 5, screening of 1986's "HIGHLANDER" at ABQ's The Guild Cinema.

HIGHLANDER (1986)
Jun 5
10:30pm only!
All Seats $10
Dir. Russell Mulcahy - 1986 - 110m - Valid for Punch Cards

A 40th Anniversary screening!

The original 80’s HIGHLANDER feature with that great Queen soundtrack!  When Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) is slain in battle in the Scottish Highlands, his kinsfolk don’t mourn the tragedy of his death – they mourn the seeming witchcraft that’s brought him back to life. But MacLeod can’t die, and neither can Juan Ramírez (Sean Connery), who befriends Connor and shows him what it means to be immortal. Time dissolves, the centuries pass, and Connor and his fellow immortals are drawn to New York City, where one will be awarded the Prize while the rest lose their literal heads. This is the timeless tale that launched a film and TV franchise, beloved by millions of fans worldwide. This is HIGHLANDER!

“Russell Mulcahy’s Highlander is without a doubt one of the finest cult films of the 1980s. This 1986 film is a wonderful action-fantasy romp that pretty much works on every level.” - Niall Browne, Movies in Focus

“A truly heroic stomp through time and space.” - Matt Ford, BBC.com
