Vampire Weekends
When the Marquis d’Urfé, a noble emissary of the King of France, is attacked and abandoned in the remote countryside, he finds refuge at an eerie, isolated manor. The resident family, reluctant to take him in, exhibits strange behavior as they await the imminent return of their father, Gorcha. But what begins simply as strange quickly devolves into a full fledged nightmare when Gorcha returns, seemingly no longer himself...
Adapted from a novella that predates Bram Stoker’s Dracula by over half a century, The Vourdalak is an atmospheric, unexpected, sensorial experience that will leave you reeling and giddy in equal measure.

Vampire Cinema: The First One Hundred Years (2022) by Christopher Frayling (Available at the Chelsea!)
The Family of the Vourdalak (1839) by A.K. Tolstoy (Second Cousin of Leo Tolstoy)
