The Hollywood Theatre’s bimonthly program QUEER HORROR haunts Halloween night with 30 years of BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA (1992)! Hosted by Portland’s premier drag clown Carla Rossi, this edition opens with a preshow starring PDX all-stars Wanda Bones and Loretta Lordchild, all sponsored by Double Mountain Brewery and Cidery and celebrating their newest collaboration with Carla: Dracarla's Revenge Fresh Hop IPA! After the screening, get your limited edition bottle signed by Dracarla herself.
Directed by Frances Ford Coppola, BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA takes the titular text and throws it in a blender with every Dracula film before it. This time Jonathan Harker is a silver-haired Keanu Reeves with a vaguely British accent; after being held hostage in a castle by old Dracula (Gary Oldman), Jonathan's feminist fiance Mina (Winona Ryder) and her best friend with benefits Lucy (Sadie Frost) find themselves in danger of becoming undead. Can the weird, loud, Dutch, and arguably queer Abraham Van Helsing (Anthony Hopkins) and a coterie of Victorian men save these women from liberation? Co-starring Cary Elwes, Monica Bellucci, Richard E. Grant, and Tom Waits as Renfield, BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA is queer in its remixing of the Dracula mythos and its feminism, and is downright gorgeous to look at—complete with a slew of in-camera effects that still stun 30 years later.
NOTE: to protect our performers, masks will be required in the auditorium (except when actively eating and drinking) during this event.
