Come join us at Gosforth Civic Theatre this October for a special screening of this 90's gothic horror classic in which you can draw, knit, crochet or craft-along while you watch the film.
About the film: Based on the bestselling vampire novel by Anne Rice, this haunting gothic tale follows the story of the centuries-old tormented vampire Louis (Bad Pitt) as he recounts his dark and tragic journey of immortality, love, and loss alongside the charismatic but cruel Lestat (Tom Cruise).
