First Clip From Dark Sky’s ‘Vampire Party’, DVD Date!
Hollywood may have “Twilight” and “True Blood,” but it doesn’t have a monopoly on sexy vampire tales. The French add a certain je ne sais quoi to the genre in Vampire Party, a bitingly funny yet shocking thriller from impressive first-time directors Stephen Cafiero and Vincent Lobelle. Dark Sky Films will release Vampire Party on DVD on November 17 and we’ve got your exclusive first ever clip from the film below!“Best friends Sam, Alice and Prune have scored a highly coveted invitation to “Medici Night,” a legendary and notorious VIP bash held every year at a remote castle that’s said to be haunted. These three hardcore partiers are looking forward to a night of debauchery, but they’re in for more than they can handle: the wild party is hosted by an elite race of lusty vampires, led by the mysterious Le Duc de Journiac (Tcheky Karyo). The bloodthirsty Journiac has some tasty plans for his three young guests, who quickly discover that they’re short of such tried and true vampire deterrents as garlic, crosses and wooden stakes, and must instead improvise some highly unorthodox and hilariously gruesome methods if they’re to make it out from this sanguinary soiree alive.”
Patrick Mille (“My Father the Hero”), Frederique Bel (“Shall We Kiss?”) and Julie Fournier (“Mr. Bean’s Holiday”) join international screen stars Tcheky Karyo (“The Patriot,” “Bad Boys,” “GoldenEye”) and Stephane Freiss (“Munich”) in this witty, grisly and irreverent take on the vampire shocker, the Gallic answer to “Shaun of the Dead.”
In addition to its striking visual artistry, VAMPIRE PARTY boasts a killer soundtrack featuring music by Eagles of Death Metal, Goldfrapp, The Magic Numbers, Benjamin Diamond, Scratch Massive, Ghostcat and more.

In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.
Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
