A little horror, a little camp, a whole lotta of Vamp. 🦇✨

Join us Sunday, May 17 from 1–3 PM at @nietzschesbuffalo for a free screening of Shadow of the Vampire as part of the @Gilded.Splinter Movie Matinee series.

This eerie, darkly funny cult favorite imagines the making of Nosferatu with one haunting twist: what if actor Max Schreck really was a vampire? 🧛🏻‍♂️❤️‍🔥

Free admission. Donations gratefully accepted to support the Buffalo indie film Gilded Splinter.

He’s also the force behind @wellwornboot, curating Wild Wild Fest and championing regional music talent across WNY and beyond.

Now, he’s stepping into feature filmmaking. Alongside @vinous_ridiculous, Matt is in pre-production on Gilded Splinter, a bold, genre-bending western for a new era. 🔥🤠
