“Let’s be honest. Which of us, in our impressionable teenage years, has not displaced an irrational horror of sex into a freaky emo crush on a moody vampire with sky-high cheekbones and a taste for human blood? […] ‘Twilight’ offers its own uproariously weird and engaging answer. It is, in its unworldly way, sweetly idealistic with a charm all of its own: a teen romance to get your teeth into”
DOORS: 19:00 | FILM STARTS 19:30
We’re heading back to The Station this Halloween season for a truly 21st Century cult phenomenon…
Listen: we’ve heard you, seen you, and taken notice. When we first screened Twilight the reaction was more raucous than the average Rocky Horror screening. So we’ve decided to dedicate a Friday night throwback screening to the original film it all of its glory, and make this a night to remember for all of you Twihards.
We want to see your best fancy dress, with prizes for the best getup. We want to hear you yell “THIS IS THE SKIN OF A KILLER, BELLA” in perfect synchronisation. And whether you professed to enjoying it ironically, or were 100% committed to the saga’s Team Edward v Team Jacob debate*, we want you to relive that very specific moment in the early noughties where “You’re like my own personal brand of heroin” was, like, a totally romantic thing to say.
We’ll bring the pop-up bar, thumping emo soundtrack and terrible vampire puns - you bring your peak millennial energy, and we’ll all leave worrying about being cool at home for the night.
Hold on tight, spider monkeys - we’ll see you in October…
[*Before you ask, we’re staying firmly on Team Switzerland – Ed.]

About The Location
The Station occupies the site of Bristol City Centre’s old fire station, which was constructed in 1928 and remained in active use until 1973, when it was relocated to Temple Back. After numerous uses over the years, it is now occupied and managed by Creative Youth Network, a Bristol-based charity; they use the historic building as a Central Youth Hub, open to all young people and offering a place for them to relax, get advice and support, and explore their interests and talents.
The Station has hosted numerous Bristol Film Festival screenings over the years, including films with beer tastings, cult comedy classics, and more.
