International Horror Series: The Bloody Lady

The Bloody Lady  (Viktor Kubal, 1980, Slovakia) 

Sat, Jul 19 | 7 PM 

Double Feature 

Widely considered one of Slovak animation’s crown jewels, the newly restored The Bloody Lady is an improbable and bewitching fusion of gothic horror and classic children’s animation, retelling a famous folk tale that is often cited as the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s Dracula. With a clean, simple, animation style full of primary colors, the film tells the tale of Lady Báthory, who lives in a castle surrounded by Disneyesque wildlife. When she falls ill in a forest during a storm, Lady Báthory makes a deal with a handsome woodsman for her health. But when she returns to the castle her usually sunny disposition soon becomes murderous and vampiric! In Slovak with English subtitles. (77 mins., DCP)
