I should endeavour to watch it again beforehand, though I will find it surprising if the film-maker's don't "update" it and give him powers to increase ticket sales, unless it's a straight-to-dvd affair. Just having a blood-fiend run around might not be interesting enough to today's jaded cinema folk.<br /><br />That Vampire In The Hole looks interesting, and I clicked on the poster and still can't figure out what is in the vampire's mouth? Is it a lens of a camera? When I first saw it I thought it was a stake similar to the 'vampire' skeleton that was found in Prague recently.<br /><br />Lastly, that Real Twilight book looks interesting. But I think people tend to follow trends in the vampire culture. In my day Ricean Vampires (Coppola's Drac came out around then too) were vogue so we all dressed in Renaissance/Victorian clothing and carried the Pathos/attitudes of Lestat and his mob, or the cruelty, decadence and aethestic of Dracula or Armand.<br /><br />After that was the Underworld mob so it was the leather and latex look, and I fear now besides the Emos, vampire lifestylers might be wearing coats and jeans from JAG and no longer hanging out near cemeteries and crumbling abbeys (for shame!) but at the local mall doing their best to sparkle...Gabrielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17172423699175288220noreply@blogger.com
