Did you know? May 22nd is World Goth Day! We're celebrating in Toronto with a double-bill of vampire goodness at the historic Royal Cinema.

World Goth Day started in 2009 in the UK and is now celebrated all over the world.

Last year we held our first official World Goth Day with a wildly successful double bill of The Hunger and The Craft. Were doing it again this year with two more classics, once again hosted by Toronto author Liisa Ladouceur Encyclopedia Gothica, How to Kill a Vampire.

At 7:00pm, well be kicking it off with 1958'sThe Horror of Dracula. By legendary Hammer Studios, this adaptation of Bram Stokers seminal vampire tale is simply one of the most influential, stunning versions of Dracula ever made. Starring icon Sir Christopher Lee as the Count and Peter Cushing as his nemesis slayer Van Helsing, its Hammer Horror at its best: overtly sensual, with many heaving bosoms of damsels in distress, opulent castle sets, and about as gory as 1950s horror could get. Lees Dracula was actually the first vamp to bare fangs onscreen! In other words: gloriously Gothic!

Sleep all day. Party all night. Never grow old. Never die. Its fun to be a vampire. This 1987 horror-comedy, directed by Joel Schumacher, about two young brothers who uncover a coven of teen vampires after moving to a new town in California, made bloodsuckers cool for a whole new generation. It boasts motorcycle gangs, a grandpa taxidermist, comic book geeks who save the day, the Two Coreys, undead Kiefer Sutherland, and a rockin soundtrack that is still spinning on Goth dance-floors today. People are strange but The Lost Boys are the coolest.
