When archaeologist Angus Flint (Capaldi) discovers a large, unidentifiable reptilian skull at the site of a former Derbyshire monastery, local legends surrounding a creature known as the d’Ampton worm are revealed to be rooted in, among other things, an ancient pagan cult stewarded by immortal vampire-snake priestesses in a lot of vinyl.
Ken Russell’s high camp spin on a Bram Stoker B-side is a delightfully tacky way to say goodbye to Halloween and hello to the return of First Friday Fright Nights, so we’re starting a little late for that midnight movie feel. Future months will start at 9 PM – brace yourselves accordingly!!
