A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese.

DISCO DRACULA!

The BBC mini-series, right? I just ordered that from Amazon.
Holy crap - that's available? I've been wanting to see that for years.

Chris Sarandon (Fright Night)
Soooo sexy.
Certainly the closest to the book I've ever seen.
That's what I've heard.
Here's a short film that I haven't watched yet: Oscar Wilde's Frankenstein
