Join us this Halloween for a very special screening of the Vincent Price film ‘The Last Man on Earth’ with live film score by ANIMAT.
In the year 1968, every day is the same for Dr. Robert Morgan: he wakes up, gathers his weapons, and then goes hunting for vampires. Morgan lives in a world where everyone else has been infected by a plague that has turned them into undead, vampiric creatures that cannot stand sunlight, fear mirrors, and are repelled by garlic. They would kill Morgan if they could, but fortunately, they are weak and unintelligent. At night, Morgan locks himself inside his house; during the day, he kills as many vampires as he can, burning the bodies.
The Last Man on Earth is a little known B movie made in Italy and is the first screen version of Richard Mathieson’s novel, later remade as The Omega Man with Charlton Heston and I Am Legend starring Will Smith. The film is a major influence on Geroge A Romero and it is the first film to portray the now familiar grey skinned, slow moving “zombie” seen in countless examples of the genre
Animats re-score will incorporate specially written music, dialogue, effects and remixed themes from the original score and carefully chosen tracks from Animat’s eclectic DJ archive.
Following the film we will be heading deep into uncharted disco ‘terror-tory’ with our ‘Nightmare on Holme Street’ after party with local selector CP (Inkfolk / What the Freak) and the Gezellig residents.
“Do you dare to imagine what it would be like to be… the last man on earth… or the last woman?”
