Description
The Gothique Film Society, London’s only specialised horror and fantasy film club, was founded in September 1966 by Robin James and the late Jim Kearley.
In October the society will be starting its 50th season. To celebrate this remarkable milestone we are delighted to team up with The Cinema Museum and present two superb double bills of fantastic films, each film being introduced by a special guest.
This celebration is open to non-members, who will be especially welcome.
1pm (doors open). Screening starts 2pm
Murders in the Zoo (1932). In this delirious pre-Code horror an insanely jealous zoologist murders his wife’s lovers in ever more brutal ways. This completely OTT film stars Lionel Atwill, the ‘maddest of mad scientists’, at his deranged best. Introduced by author Neil Pettigrew, who will be signing copies of his new biography, Lionel Atwill: The Exquisite Villain.
Satan’s Slave (1976). A young girl is caught up in a devil cult run by her evil uncle and cousin. Genre favourite Michael Gough stars in this classic of 70s exploitation/horror. Director Norman J. Warren will introduce this special screening of his own 35mm print – the full, uncut version.
6pm (doors open). Screening starts 7pm
I Love a Mystery (1945). Opening with a car crash and a decapitation, this compelling story is told in flashback as our heroes, Jack and Doc (from the hugely popular I Love a Mystery radio series) become involved with a man who tells them that he will die in just such a manner in three days' time. A large amount of money, an Oriental cult, a mysterious women, a peg-legged man, and many more deaths are also involved. Introduced by author, broadcaster and critic Kim Newman.
Green Fingers (2000). Our guest, Janina Faye, starred with Hammer legend Ingrid Pitt in this short spooky tale about a lady who can grow anything in her garden… Director Paul Cotgrove will introduce his own 35mm print.
Dracula (1958). We are delighted to present a rare big screen showing of the most complete version of this genre classic ever released in the UK. This sumptuous Blu-ray release contains the 2007 BFI restoration and also the 2012 Hammer restoration, with footage from the infamous ‘Japanese reels’ that had been unavailable for decades. Introduced by actress Janina Faye, who played young Tania in this Hammer classic.
