Cult film night BAR TRASH continues our 13th sensational season — SCREAM FOR YOUR LIVES! — with a wayward sequel in a once-revered franchise, Hammer Horror’s DRACULA A.D. 1972 (1972) in a rare presentation with its original HorroRitual gimmick.
How do you bring an ageing horror franchise starring two revered actors in their most iconic roles (toe-curlingly) up to date? You set it in the modern era and give the film one of the worst (best?) taglines in horror film history: “The Count is back, with an eye for London’s hot pants… and a taste for everything!”.

Cult film night BAR TRASH continues our 13th sensational season — SCREAM FOR YOUR LIVES! — with a wayward sequel in a once-revered franchise, Hammer Horror’s DRACULA A.D. 1972 (1972) in a rare presentation with its original HorroRitual gimmick.
How do you bring an ageing horror franchise starring two revered actors in their most iconic roles (toe-curlingly) up to date? You set it in the modern era and give the film one of the worst (best?) taglines in horror film history: “The Count is back, with an eye for London’s hot pants… and a taste for everything!”.
Dracula (Christopher Lee) is brought back to life in modern London and preys on a group of young partygoers that includes Jessica (Stephanie Beacham), the descendant of his nemesis, Lawrence Van Helsing (Peter Cushing). This 1970s swingers’ edition of Hammer’s once-seductive DRACULA saga combines gothic horror with a more contemporary fascination for the occult and would be the penultimate pairing of Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing as the vampire and his foe. Throw in Christopher Neame going completely OTT as the vampire's servant, and the result is a potent BAR TRASH cocktail of pure cinematic mayhem.
To help sell the film in the USA, Warner Bros. promoted an exclusive fan club — the COUNT DRACULA SOCIETY — in a short film before the main feature. The ‘HorroRitual’ (aka ‘The Oath’) required audiences to pledge their allegiance to promoting the film “so help me Christopher Lee” and will be revived from beyond the grave by our effervescent BAR TRASH host tonight!
Polite notice: We are showing DRACULA A.D. 1972 with subtitles from the best available digital source.
/// BAR TRASH is a celebration of cult and curious cinema, hosted by queer film fanatic Token Homo and friends. Films are served with themed drinks, introductions, intermissions, prize giveaways, and subtitles / captions where possible. Tickets from £3.50 + fees. Adults 18+ only.

Mystery films — where we only reveal the title when we press play* — have become a hugely popular feature of the BAR TRASH programme since Season 4 when Sony stopped us showing THE BLOB (1988) at incredibly short notice (after we’d already sold out!). We turned the event into a mystery film night and Token Homo attempted to book a replacement at pace, accidentally giving once-lost Korean kaiju film SPACE MONSTER WANGMAGWI (1967) its long-overdue UK premiere. But what celluloid atrocity will we unveil this time?
To celebrate our 4th sensational birthday, we are resurrecting one of the 216 rarely-shown titles we have screened before but will be dressing it up for this very special occasion by reviving it’s original (and utterly insane!) release gimmick. The only other thing we can say is that you should expect birthday cake and other special treats as we will take this opportunity to applaud the brilliant audience that has held this giddy old bar show aloft for so long. We really can’t thank you enough. THx
*No refunds if you’ve already seen it or don’t fancy it.
Polite notice: We are showing our MYSTERY GIMMICK SHOW!!! film with subtitles from the best available digital source. This unique theatrical presentation has been cleared by all the relevant authorities and will be conducted according to all relevant industry welfare standards. Suitably trained personnel will be in attendance throughout.

Cult film night BAR TRASH continues our 13th sensational season — SCREAM FOR YOUR LIVES! — with the latest in our successful Bollyhorror film nights, MAHAKAAL (1993).
One way to promote your film is to base it on another, already successful one, or to copy that film entirely... The global cinematic phenomenon of low-budget ripoffs and remakes is lovingly known as ‘remakesploitation’, and is often associated with the genre film industries of Turkey, Mexico, and India, which is where we return for the Ramsay brothers' eerily familiar MAHAKAAL (1993).
See if you can guess the original American title from this film’s plot: Anita begins to have horrible nightmares where a ghastly monster with an iron glove and blades for fingers torments her in her sleep. Once awake, she finds that injuries suffered in her dreams have manifested into the physical world… It’s not long before people around her are picked off one by one by this hideously disfigured supernatural being. Can anyone — or anything — stop the carnage?
… Got it? Of course, one of the joys of any film from the Ramsay House of Horror is that the cocktail of cinematic ingredients doesn’t end there, blending more Western sci-fi and horror classics with the signature mayhem of South Asian horror: practical makeup and gore effects, musical interludes, bawdy comedy, and a Michael Jackson impersonator.
Token Homo will be serving MAHAKAAL with FREE chai and samosas in the second of two intervals, recreating the vibe of the UK’s South Asian Film Clubs of the 1950s, ‘60s and ‘70s when audiences would dress up, socialise, eat samosas, and talk throughout the film (and sometimes back at the screen!).
Polite notice: We are projecting MAHAKAAL in Hindi with English subtitles from a 2K scan of the original 35mm camera negatives, completely uncut and uncensored. The original materials show signs of significant damage in places — please approach the film with love, wonder and empathy.

So join us at the wonderful Genesis Cinema for another evening of fun, meeting new friends, networking, and of course -- over 2 solid hours of incredible short films.
Here's what's in store:
A Drive at Dawn
Three men drive into the desert at night to wrestle with an unspeakable evil.
A Hand to Hold
Moira, an elderly Irish woman, finds herself literally attached to her deceased husband Patrick. When his hand refuses to let go after death, it leads to increasingly grotesque events. Everyone in the couple’s orbit, from their daughter to the local doctor, a farmer, a priest, and a Satanist, all try to intervene with horrific consequences. 'A Hand to Hold' blends horror with pitch-black Irish comedy, exploring themes of grief and toxic relationships.
Beauty Sleep
Beauty Sleep is a retro futuristic short film about beauty, identity, and the dangerous pursuit of perfection.
In the Beauty Sleep world, cosmetic enhancement is more extreme than our own. New boobs, butts and faces can be purchased, sewn on and bedazzled to your choosing.
And the latest trend? A living embalnment, where teenage girls, for their Sweet 16, emerge from a sparkling coffin instead of a giant cake.
But when an eccentric mortician, trapped under the patriarchal thumb of her controlling boss, accidentally kills a client, she sees a twisted chance to escape. As the clock ticks, she plots her way out by stealing “the face” from the client, but not before giving the dead girl the most bizarrely beautiful makeover of her afterlife. Beauty Sleep is a dark, satirical dive into perfection, creativity, and control.
God Forbid
What begins as a quiet reunion between mother and daughter slowly unravels into a reckoning no prayer could soften.
I Beg Your Pardon
A man commits a terrible crime and the consequences are not what you’d expect.
Lupus
In the middle of the night, a boy is startled by the sound of breaking glass and the presence of a creature in his home. With a lamp in hand, he ventures into the hallway to discover what lurks in the darkness.
Nightfall
On a stormy night a guilt-ridden teen visits a grieving mother, looking for some kind of connection. As buried grief resurfaces he's drawn into a psychological reckoning that blurs reality - a final act of shocking vengeance completes the cycle.
Rough Cut
A late night video editor finds herself terrorised by a malevolent presence hiding within the footage she is cutting together.
Scratch
After hearing strange noises in the attic, Damon makes a chilling discovery that spirals into a waking nightmare. As his fixation on the attic grows, his flatmate Annie watches in fear as his mind—and their friendship—begins to break.
Spanked by a Ghost
Alone in her home, a woman is spanked by an unseen entity, awakening a force she cannot control.
Surprise!
A working class mum discovers a terrifying secret at the surprise party from hell!
The Devil's Lair
A Police Firearms Unit enter an abandoned bunker in search of a wanted extremist leader, only to find something more sinister waiting for them deep within the claustrophobic tunnels.
The Night Within
A social worker's obsession with a case plunges him into a fight for survival against malevolent forces.
The Woman in the Bed
An elderly woman awakes to discover she is unable to speak or move. Trapped in her bed, she soon realises that she is not alone.
Vowels
Ava needs to record a self-tape but her speech impediment keeps getting in the way.
Weeds
A seemingly ordinary gardening job turns into an epic show down when a gardener battles monstrous weeds in a lady's backyard, fighting them with flair and over-the-top bravado. While the lady peacefully sips juice on the porch, unaware of the chaos, the gardener wages a cinematic war against the weed monsters who threaten the existence of our world.

This insightful documentary follows two friends whose lives have been shaped by Indian Sign Language (ISL) in markedly different ways: a Deaf woman raised in a hearing family, and her hearing friend who grew up as a Child of Deaf Adults (CODA). Through intimate conversations and reflections from Deaf and queer communities, the film explores how visual language can reshape our understanding of autonomy, care, identity, and belonging. Interwoven with evocative animation by artist Pakhi Sen, it challenges conventional notions of deafness, communication, and listening. In a landmark first for Indian cinema, the film also features an original ISL poem... More Info
