Genre fans attending the horror festival at the city’s most excellent\u00a0Broadway Cinema<\/a> can see a live reading of a long-lost, unmade Hammer Dracula script: The Unquenchable Thirst Of Dracula<\/em><\/strong>, by Anthony Hinds. Written in the 1960s, it was never made, and we’re very excited\u00a0to see what it’s like!<\/p>\n Hammer expert and actor Jonathan Rigby will be running the show, acting as a narrator. It’s not yet been announced who will be reading the other parts.<\/p>\n The plot for The Unquenchable Thirst Of Dracula<\/em> <\/strong>sees “Count Dracula escape to India where his evil influence is just as insidious and powerful.” It was written with the late, great Christopher Lee in mind.<\/p>\n Festival co-director Chris Cooke said\u00a0\u201cThis is a completely unique event for Mayhem,\u00a0and a great pleasure to work with horror expert and film historian Jonathan Rigby. He\u2019s also a talented actor and will be perfect as our narrator, taking a live audience by the hand and leading them into Gothic darkness. Hammer Films have never felt more important to the history of British cinema, so this is a great opportunity for an audience to imagine a piece of classic cinema that sees Count Dracula resurrected before their eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n This is one that Hammer fans will not want to miss.<\/p>\n For more information about the event and the Mayhem Film Festival, visit their site here<\/a>.
