Reel Life Monsters presents Re-animator and Frankenhooker | Q***r Bath film screening at No.1 Royal Crescent 🏳️‍🌈🎬

📆 23 June 2026, 5pm-10pm

Reel Life Monsters are back with a bang! At No. 1 Royal Crescent, on 23 June, they’ll be teaming up with Q***r Bath and Q***r Vision to bring you a one-of-a-kind double bill celebrating Mary Shelley’s ongoing influence on the world of horror: Re-animator and Frankenhooker. The RLM team loves Frankenstein in every single one of its forms, so as you might expect they’re beyond excited to watch these films with you all, particularly as the book was originally written in Bath! The double bill will be introduced by Jays Hawke, RLM’s resident Frankenstein expert, and will be followed by a short panel on the LGBTQ+ themes in Frankenstein adaptations with Jays, RLM’s founder Sal, and Q***r Vision’s Harriet Taylor.

Doors open at 5pm, with the introduction starting at 5.20pm. The venue is wheelchair accessible, with an accessible bathroom. Parking is available within a 5-10 minute walking distance. Both films will have descriptive subtitles. If you are sensitive to loud noises then the RLM team would recommend that you bring some form of ear protection, just to be on the safe side!

💬🍑 TALK THIS THURSDAY 🍑💬

Join Jack Shoulder and Mark Small, writers and historians, and authors of Museum Bums, for a romp through the q***r bums of history. What do Hieronymus Bosch, the Roman cult of Antinous, and the peach emoji have in common? But of course, butts, of course!

📍 No.1 Royal Crescent, Servants Hall
📆 Thursday 11 June, 6pm - 7.15pm, doors open 5.30pm
🎫 https://no1royalcrescent.org.uk/whats-on/

The Museum Bums team takes a cheeky look at butts in art and as part of the Q***r Bath programme, this will be a fun event getting to the bottom of historical butts, art and q***r peaches of the past. Expect high art, low comedy, and signed books. Museum Bums takes you on a whirlwind tour of the finest rear ends in museums around the world, divided into six categories of keisters. This book of artistic behinds is both a celebration and study of the bounty of beautiful bums and their everlasting impressions.

Talks are 45mins-1hr with additional time for questions and discussion. Bar serves wine and soft drinks🍷
