We’re less than one week away now from our next Duke night – join us at Phoenix Artists Club on Monday 28 April from 7PM, for a night of the strangest Sci-Fi films you’ve ever seen. Here’s the trailer for our main feature on the night, the truly one-of-a-kind Split (1989).
London
Elton John goes to the cinema…
Here’s Elton John leaving the cinema with Princess Margaret in 1976 having just been to see The Sunshine Boys at a public screening. We could be wrong but it looks like they went to see it at the ABC Shaftsbury Avenue, also can you see what other film was playing that night? Yes Stanley Kubrick‘s Barry Lyndon was on in the other screen. Also take a close look at the bloke in the background pictured between them, looks like he’s about to shout something very unfunny.
An American Werewolf In London – 16MM Print
Quite amazingly we were donated an original widescreen 16MM print of John Landis‘ horror classic An American Werewolf In London at The Duke on Monday night. Always amazed by how generous and thoughful people can be! We’ve not had a chance to run the print yet, but we’ve had a quick look and it seems to be in great shape, also doesn’t seem to be turning red, which is fantastic!
Mystery VHS Pile…
What’s on these VHS tapes? When are they from? What are we going to be doing with them?
You’ll have to come back in June to find out…#DukeFestZero
