Severin Films Double Feature
<p>Join us for a special (and free!) double-feature of Cemetery Man and Vampyros Lesbos, presented by I Like It Spooky Podcast, Burlington Black Water, and Dame Fine Coffee with special thanks to Severin Films on Saturday, April 12th at The Capitol Theater!</p> <p>Doors open at 6pm for attendees to browse Severin Films and I Like It Spooky Horror Podcast merchandise before the first film begins at 7pm. Oscarbate Film Collective will introduce the second film.</p> <p>Severin Films is known for releasing cult classics, and two of their standout films, Cemetery Man and Vampyros Lesbos, are no exception.</p> <p>Cemetery Man (1994), also known as Dellamorte Dellamore, is an Italian horror film that is a surreal blend of horror, dark comedy, and romance.</p> <p>Directed by Michele Soavi, the story follows Francesco Dellamorte, the gravedigger of a cemetery where the dead don't stay dead for long. When the corpses rise from their graves, it's his job to put them back down, often in strange and bizarre ways.</p> <p>The film is a meditation on death, life, and love, with a darkly poetic edge. It’s known for its quirky style, strange visuals, and an underlying, philosophical exploration of existence. Cemetery Man has since gained a cult following for its offbeat storytelling and off-kilter humor.</p> <p>Vampyros Lesbos (1971) is a Spanish-German erotic horror film directed by Jesús Franco and is considered one of the standout films of the Eurocult genre.</p> <p>The story centers on a young woman named Linda who is a psychiatrist visiting a remote island. She becomes entangled with the mysterious and seductive Countess Nadine, who is a vampire.</p> <p>The film is known for its sensual atmosphere, psychedelic visuals, and a dreamlike tone. The combination of horror and eroticism, along with a hauntingly jazzy score, gives Vampyros Lesbos its distinctive, hypnotic style. The film became an influential cult classic and is revered for its aesthetic and boundary-pushing content.</p> <p>Both films offer unique, eccentric experiences, blending genres and themes in ways that have earned them a lasting place in cult film history.</p> <p>Please note that while this event is free and open to the public, both films are rated R.</p> <p> </p> 2025-03-25 23:00:00 -0500Burlington Capitol TheaterBurlington0.00.0
