All right, so let's start off with John Carpenter vampires.

A movie that comes second in chronology, but was the first one I watched.

Because the near dark was more of a cult classic like people

started rediscovering I would say maybe 10 years ago John Copper is

vampires I remember when it came out because it came out in like 98 99 after you know a couple of like blade had been out for a little bit or I come out around the same time and kind of vampires were back in a way, but like as like monsters.

So in the last episode of Vampire Castle we talked about interview with the vampire and how that changed the vampire mythos where, you know, again, it was very European and elegant, but also with this, you know, deep pathos and all the vampires were you know sad and lonely and

fully human and had all these internal lives and vampire, but vampires especially is an extreme counterpoint to that type of vampire.

Yeah, I gotta say, maybe I was a little bit spoiled by interview with the vampire, but I was

very disappointed at the lack of vampire protagonists.

Yeah, like the vampires are just like assholes in this movie.

They're monsters.

They're monsters.

They're just monsters.

There is a separation so the masters have a little bit more intelligence but most of the vampires in the film

They're just goons. They're almost like zombie-like vampires. You're not really supposed to take them

They don't really have an internal life. They're just blug drinkers who live in Cripps like the old school style you know vampires.

They live in these dark places come out eat people make more vampires and our vampire hunters led by

Jack Crow who worked for the Catholic Church are basically are exterminators they're not less than hunters. They're like

because they're really you know quite well equipped to handle these goons and

the goons are kind of defenseless like that opening scene where like they're stabbing all these vampires

death is quite gruesome and you could almost feel a little bit sorry for the vampires because

they seem very confused not to know what's going on they're just being you know
