Fantasmo Cult Cinema Explosion
Due to a number of scheduling issues, Fantasmo will be held on a special night in September. This time around we will be unleashing our films on Saturday, 2005-09-24, 19:30 (at Chesapeake Central Library, as always). As a special treat to get you in the mood for Halloween and Monsterfest, Team Fantasmo is proud to bring you the sequels to both Count Yorga Vampire and Blacula (screened at Fantasmo Episode 2). If you loved the first ones (and we know you did), the sequels are even better!
Scheduled Films:
19:30 – The Return of Count Yorga (1971) – Robert Quarry turns in another terrific performance as the pompous count, this time stalking prey at a neighboring orphanage. Only his Van-Helsingesque nemesis (again played by Roger Perry) stands in his way. This time the suspense and horror are doubled (and noticeably so is the budget)! Rated PG.
21:15 – Scream Blacula Scream (1973) – William Marshall reprises his signature role as the African prince made into a vampire by none other than Dracula himself. When a voodoo priest makes the unfortunate mistake of resurrecting Blacula, havoc ensues on the L.A. streets. This time around, Marshall is joined on screen by 70’s icon Pam Grier (Quentin Tarantino’s Jackie Brown) as a voodoo priestess who tries to help him lift his curse. Featuring top-notch performances, another great soundtrack, and non-stop action, you can’t afford to miss this one! Rated PG.

Be sure not to miss these masterworks on the big screen — the way they were meant to be seen!
