laliginHappy Halloween everybody!
Whistle stop hi there with a HAPPY post for once! Just got back in - it's 2am - from watching Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing in the 1958 Hammer Horror Dracula. In the Liverpool Philharmonic.
Man, that was well worth £4.50. Audience were, on the whole, pretty darn good. Game for a laugh if it got too silly (Oh, I say, Mr Harker, you've just spotted an attractive young lady in a voluminous white nightdress... wipe that look off your face!) and although they wandered in and out and in and out, nobody was too bad.
And we snuck into a box. (It *was* the Philharmonic, and the guys who'd booked the box didn't mind, so hey.) Best seats in the house.
Awesome!
Also, there was a costume competition, which a guy dressed as a Bloody Butcher won, though it should have been the Zombie Musketeer. The compere guy got the Cheerometer the wrong way round. Oh well.
So very cool and enjoyable and hilarious! Although someone near the front was complaining about it being boring, and a few people who walked past us afterwards were moaning about how predictable/irritatingly silly it was. Come on, people, it's HAMMER HORROR. And 50 years old. If you weren't there for the crack, you went to the wrong place.
Yeah. It was fantastic. ^_^
Dr Abraham Van Helsing will see you now... ;)
