🎥 A small-time Philadelphia boxer gets a supremely rare chance to fight the world heavyweight champion in a bout in which he strives to go the distance for his self-respect.

HORROR OF DRACULA — newly remastered in 4k comes to Playhouse 🧛

🎥 When Jonathan Harker rouses the ire of Count Dracula for accepting a job at the vampire’s castle under false pretences, his friend Dr. Van Helsing pursues the predatory villain.

Hammer’s DRACULA (1958) redefined the legendary vampire for a new generation, transforming Bram Stoker’s classic into a landmark of gothic horror. Christopher Lee’s commanding, menacing performance, Peter Cushing’s formidable Van Helsing, and Hammer’s vivid use of colour, atmosphere, and sensuality helped establish a new era of horror cinema.

Decades later, its influence remains undeniable, with Lee’s Dracula standing as one of the most iconic portrayals of the Count in film history.

🗓️: See it November 1 & 4
