The Beverly Theater brings Paul Morrissey's cult classic "Blood for Dracula" to downtown Las Vegas's Arts District. This 1974 horror-comedy follows an ailing Count Dracula who travels to Italy in search of virgin blood to sustain himself, only to find that virtuous maidens are harder to come by than he anticipated. Shot by the same team that created "Flesh for Frankenstein," the film blends campy humor with genuine Gothic atmosphere, featuring Udo Kier in one of his most memorable performances as the increasingly desperate vampire.
The intimate 150-seat theater provides an ideal setting for experiencing this deliriously strange piece of 1970s cinema. With its excellent acoustics and state-of-the-art projection, the venue does justice to the film's lush cinematography and operatic excess. The Beverly's cocktail lounge offers a perfect spot to discuss the film's wild tonal shifts and provocative themes before or after the screening.
