Vampires – the most overused character in the horror genre? Certainly there has been an overabundance of the romantic presentation of vampires recently across all mediums, but the question we pose this week is whether there is still room to teel interesting stories featuring bloodsuckers. Since there has been such a wealth of material produced through history we avoided drilling down into lists of films that represent the “traditional” versus “non-traditional” vampire, but rather discussed the subgenre as a whole and what our preferred approaches are.
It was a loose conversation following through what is expected in a vampire movie and sharing a few recent titles that help demonstrate there is enough flexibility in the character to support a lifespan as seemingly endless as the vampire itself. Notable films we land on through the course of things include Nosferatu (’22 and ’79, both of which have enjoyed excellent re-mastered releases), the underspoken Romero classic Martin (1976), the melancholy but stylish Byzantium (2012), the low-budget twisty take on vampires Midnight Son (2009), and the new, surprisingly fresh, found footage flick Afflicted (2013).
Our conclusion is that no amount of sparkles can take the shine off the most iconic figure in horror. Things progress into a pair of schlock corner selections featuring new metal music from Christopher Lee and new original series Star Trek episodes (?). Finally, we announce the Return of the Living Dead contest winner and Ted gets caught up on Louie CK.
