THE LOST BOYS BANNER (2)

DUDLEY CASTLE PRESENTS – THE LOST BOYS
OPEN AIR CINEMA EVENT IN THE CASTLE COURTYARD

Saturday 10th August 2024

Dir: Joel Schumacher (USA 1987, 97 mins)

Certificate: 15

One thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach; all the damn vampires…

80s banger The Lost Boys is a vampire flick with uncontested cult status. This summer you can enjoy the cracking soundtrack, 80’s montage and those sexy, undead punks on motorbikes from the comfort of your own deckchair within the ruins of Dudley Castle. Move over Blade, take the day off Van Helsing, and hang up that cross Buffy – the Frog Brothers are in town!

Beware the Moon

This screening is part of ‘Beware the Moon’, a yearly screening event that turns Dudley Castle into an open air cinema for your delight and enjoyment.
