Nearly a year after her passing, the Hollywood Theatre’s bimonthly program QUEER HORROR pays tribute to Anne Rice with INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE (1994) in lavish 35mm! Sponsored by Double Mountain Brewery and Cidery, this immortal edition opens with a preshow starring PDX all-stars Svetlana Trantastic, Valerie DeVille, and hosted by Portland’s premier drag clown Carla Rossi.

Directed by Neil Jordan from a screenplay by Anne Rice herself, INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE brought gay vampires into the mainstream with some of the '90’s biggest stars. After Louis (Brad Pitt) finds himself newly undead as the chosen companion of the vampire Lestat (Tom Cruise), the two venture from New Orleans with their vampire child Claudia (Kirsten Dunst) while everything in the world changes except for themselves. Featuring a breakthrough performance from 10-year-old Dunst and one of Tom Cruise's most compelling characterizations—so much that Anne Rice, who intially spoke out against his casting, put a two-page ad in Variety praising his work—and co-starring Antonio Banderas, Christian Slater, and Thandiwe Newton, INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE is a lush and crucial entry in the saga of queerness, not just in horror but on film as a whole.

NOTE: to protect our performers, masks will be required in the auditorium (except when actively eating and drinking) during this event.
