"Few creatures of the night have captured our imagination like vampires.
What explains our enduring fascination with vampires? Is it the overtones of sexual lust, power, control? Or is it a fascination with the immortality of the undead?"

Feel free to post any vampire-related content here. I'll be posting various vampire media I enjoy just as a way of kickstarting this community but don't let that stop you from posting something else. I just wanted a place to discuss vampire movies, books, games, etc.

I vaguely remember seeing this in a Rogers Video back in the day, but I never saw it... Anyone know if it's any good? The trailer makes me think I need a copy.

Ahh! How did I miss that you've already covered it! My bad! I'm absolutely going to watch this ASAP. Thanks!

Well, I watched it! Yup, very western. I found myself waiting patiently for that moment where someone sits him down and explains the rules... And waiting... And waiting. Not bad, but it just seemed to be missing something. I see why Lost Boys has the bigger place in the culture. Still, fun way to waste a couple hours.
