SUMMARY:Pride Movie Matinee: Dracula’s Daughter
DESCRIPTION:Location Update: Program will take place in the Town Hall Auditorium\, due to safety concerns during installation of the stained glass window and new side entry in the Library. \nGrab your popcorn for this program series! Mondays in June we’re showing a series of films for Pride Month! Features include a black & white classic\, a teen coming of age\, a cross country drive\, and a documentary. Snacks provided\, no registration required. \nDracula’s Daughter (1936)\, 69 min\nAlthough Count Dracula was destroyed by Van Helsing (Edward Van Sloan)\, who is now being tried for his murder\, Dracula’s daughter\, the Countess Marya Zaleska (Gloria Holden)\, is still alive — and her father’s death has brought her no closer to eradicating her vampiric thirst for blood. When attempts to free herself of the disease fail\, she turns to psychiatrist Dr. Garth (Otto Kruger) for assistance\, but soon finds herself struggling with the desire to make him one of the undead as well. \nDracula’s Daughter was filmed under the constraints of the Motion Picture Production Code\, also known as the Hays Code. From 1934 to 1968\, the Hays code was a set of guidelines designed to regulate the moral content of Hollywood films and has left a lasting impression on the visual language and coding of American cinema. In order to meet approval under the Hays Code\, Dracula’s Daughter went through script revisions\, costuming changes\, and film edits. The Hays Code was replaced in 1968 by motion-picture rating system still in use today. \nPublic performance rights provided through SWANK
