The other week I had the privilege of attending what I can only describe as a ‘dream moment’ - the re-release premiere of the original Hammer Films ‘Dracula’ (1958). The film has been through a painstaking restoration process that left no stone unturned, lovingly bringing it to life in all its glory. The man we have to thank? Mr John Gore, the owner and guardian of all things Hammer🩸🦇 

There was no expense or detailed spared on the night and it felt like a real celebration of an important film that so many of us love and cherish. It felt surreal and amazing, especially since I’ve recently contributed my first film to Hammer in the form of the documentary ‘The Land Demands Blood’ (currently touring film festivals and available in physical release on the ‘House of Hammer - Vol.1’ Blu-Ray). It was a night of good times and strange serendipitous meetings… more on that another time though 🔮✨

Here are a few moments from the evening. Shout out to my friends @_joseph_archer_ and @cathywippell for coming along as my 2nd and 3rd wheels haha. Go check out their new film @snapshot_1888 - which will be screening in Cornwall at @newlynfilmhouse on November 19th and is touring all over while winning countless awards and accolades!

Ps. Big respect to @torment24 for the most extra, dark and disturbing handbag I’ve ever seen! 😂💀
