Vampire Empire from Dusk till Dawn

February 13th, TENT Young curator Fatos Üstek organizes a film screening and introduction on the vampire as an important source of inspiration for artists. Blood for Dracula (1973) by Andy Warhol and Paul Morrissey is an artistic adaptation of the classic horror story of Count Dracula. Warhol shot part of the film in Italy in cooperation with Joe Dallessandro and Roman Polanski. Originally the film was only distributed in small circles due to its violent and sexual scenes. In the horror film Nadja (1995) by cult director David Lynch and Michael Almereyda, vampire twins seek to escape from their monstrous legacy. The film is shot entirely in black-and-white and has a highly atmospheric soundtrack. In the hilarious horror film The Lost Boys (1987) by Joel Schumacher, young vampires tear around on motorcycles and terrorise a Californian coastal town. The Lost Boys is a colourful mix of genres, with leading roles for the hottest teenage stars of the day, making it an ultimate eighties film.
