The creator of NEKROMANTIK takes you to the location of DEMONS and more.
Severin Films has posted the latest installment (see it below) of MY FLEAPIT, MY PALACE, in which filmmakers and other genre folks lead viewers through their formative theaters and moviegoing experiences. This second entry features Jörg Buttgereit, the man behind the notorious NEKROMANTIK films, DER TODESKING and SCHRAMM, who “takes us on a tour of Berlin’s iconic cinema culture, from the still-active Xenon [where Buttgereit worked as a teen projectionist and filmed several memorable scenes from his 1988 genre classic NEKROMANTIK] to the repurposed Metropol [whose exterior is familiar to all fans of Lamberto Bava’s Italian horror hit DEMONS], the long-gone Royal-Palast [once Europe’s largest screen] and more, with special guests that include German Godzilla, The Damned [sans a dosed Dave Vanian], Christiane F. and COMBAT SHOCK writer/director Buddy Giovinazzo, who opines, ‘If your date can sit through NEKROMANTIK, marry them.’”
