Classic American drive-in flick I Drink Your Blood launches theatrical tour this Friday
David E.Durston’s post-Manson hippie horror classic I Drink Your Blood is one of the signature grindhouse and drive-in films of the 1970s. Released in late 1970, not long after the gruesome Tate/LaBianca murders in California, the film (which stars a young Lynn Lowry) sees a small town boy, fed up with the endless assaults on his friends and family by a vile band of drug-drenched cultists, injecting the troublemakers’ meat pies with a nasty strain of rabies.
What seemed like a good idea at the time instead launches a wave of zombie-plague like carnage in the rural community, with the hippies turning into foaming, homicidal psychopaths!
Now, Grindhouse Releasing is bringing I Drink Your Blood back to theaters for a limited 35th anniversary release.
I Drink Your Blood (which was released as part of an infamous double bill with the unrelated 1964 clunker I Eat Your Skin) opens this Friday, September 2, at Landmark’s Sunshine Cinema in New York City and continues at cinemas across the country through the Halloween season.
