Dallas Movie Event Promotes Blood Donation and Sword of Dracula

Sword of Dracula Comic Team promotes Blood Donation with two-night screening of LOST BOYS at Dallas' Inwood Theatre

Moviegoers who bring proof of blood donation or dress as vampires get a discount at the September 21-22 Midnight retrospective screening of Lost Boys at the Inwood Theatre in Dallas.
 
The event, hosted by Jason Henderson, creator of the military horror comic Sword of Dracula, will showcase the cult favorite 1987 vampire film. Henderson is promoting his next release, November's Sword of Dracula/Vampirella: Extended and Dangerous.
 
"Lost Boys was a watershed vampire film the way few vampire films were," Henderson said. "The way 1958's Dracula made us associate vampires with animal magnetism, Lost Boys thirty years later gave the genre a new obsession with youth and physicality." In the movie, Kiefer Sutherland plays the dangerous leader of a gang of teenage vampires terrorizing a seaside California town.

The event is an early Halloween celebration for the Inwood and a chance for the Sword of Dracula comics team to promote their usual charity, blood donation. "We've done a lot of blood donation events," said Henderson. "We've traded blood for art and blood for comics-- this time, if you bring proof, any kind, that you gave blood, you get in at a discount price."
 
The Inwood Theatre is located at 5458 West Lovers Lane, Dallas, TX 75209. Showtime recording phone (214)764-9106.
