DOORS: 22:10 | FILM STARTS 22:30
We’re returning to Arnos Vale Cemetery this Halloween for two nights of spooky cinema!
Join us after dark in Bristol’s very own necropolis – make your way through this historic graveyard to the beautiful Anglican Chapel and take your seat for the show.
Our second evening at Arnos Vale is dedicated to refreshing takes and twists on the vampire genre, concluding with a 25th anniversary screening of the superhero/horror crossover Blade. Wesley Snipes as the titular vampire hunter, who possesses the strength of his foes but none of their weaknesses. With Marvel rebooting the franchise soon, there’s no better time to discover the cult original!
