If you ever wanted to feel old, you could be reminded of the fact that The Lost Boys celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2017. Ageing might not be an issue for vampires, but for us mere mortals, Glasgow Film Festival – in association with Empire – are marking the occasion by putting on a special screening of Joel Schumacher’s horror-comedy cult classic.
Having previously hosted a “secret location” screening of Con Air in an airplane hangar, this special one-off screening will bus audiences to an unknown location of particular relevance to the film. Vampire fangs will be provided – but patrons are advised to bring their own garlic.
“We are excited about this year's special events programme, and thrilled to be able to announce these events in advance,” says Allison Gardner, co-director of Glasgow Film Festival. “We can honestly say that GFF is continuing to create unique cinemas events around some of our audiences best-loved films in terms of events venues, content and reach.”
The Lost Boys special screening takes place on 17 Feburary, with the first bus departing from Glasgow Film Theatre at 6.10pm. More details and tickets (on sale now) can be found on the Glasgow Film Festival website.
