Winter Is Dark: A Film + Gin Festival
Thornbury Picture House is hosting a double bill of dark horror flicks paired with Bloody Shiraz gin cocktails.
Overview
Melbourne's newly opened independent cinema Thornbury Picture House is teaming up with Four Pillars Gin for a mini booze and film festival. On Thursday, July 25, the 57-seat High Street spot is hosting a double bill of The Fog and Suspiria paired with Bloody Shiraz gin cocktails.
For the uninitiated, the former is an 80s supernatural horror flick by John Carpenter (Halloween) set in a fictional Californian coastal town. The latter, is Dario Argento's spooky and bloody 77 Italian masterpiece, which has recently been remade by Call Me By Your Name's Luca Guadagnino.
To pair with these dark cult flicks will be The Nightshade, made with Four Pillar's highly coveted Bloody Shiraz gin, Campari and carrot juice. The screenings kick off at 6.30pm and 8.20pm but we suggest you get there a little earlier for drinks and to hear the pre-film entertainment: local band Tangerine Green.
Tickets are $18.50 for each flick.
