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 (Brad Pitt) as he recounts his dark and tragic journey of immortality, love, and loss alongside the charismatic but cruel Lestat (Tom Cruise). The cast also includes Kirsten Dunst, Antonio Banderas, Thandiwe Newton, and Christian Slater. This year marks the 30th anniversary of this must-see gothic horror for vampire fans.
This film has been programmed by Beacon Films programmer Juliet Fraser, who will give a short introduction to the film.
About the craft-a-long:
During this screening, the audience is encouraged to enjoy a fun, creative pastime such as knitting, crochet, drawing or paper based crafts while watching the film.
