Last year, we were all about Tainted Love. This year we've got the blood lust and we've got it bad. We've chosen four of our favorite Vampire films to go along with a 5-course Prix Fixe Meal with both Chocolate or Non-Chocolate options. OR. You can dine in our Front Room and skip the bodice ripping good times.

Tonight, 4 different Vampire films will be shown simultaneously and continuously with our special DJ Valentina mixing songs of love, lust, and blood with the dialogue from the films.

The Films
Of course, we can't deny the classic that started it all — F.W. Marnau's 1922 silent film, Nosferatu. Our most recent favorite was Claire Denis' slow-motion gore-fest Trouble Every Day starring Vincent Gallo and Beatrice Dalle (Betty Blue). And then there's the campy boob-fest of Jesus Francos Vampire Lesbos featuring incredibly fake blood and lots of sexedelic delights. And finally, what's Valentine's Day without Klaus Kinski. He is a Valentine. His best fiend, Werner Herzog, directs this 1979 version of Nosferatu.

We should note, besides about 15 ridiculously grotesque minutes in Trouble Every Day, this is not very graphically violent stuff.
