Summary
Saddle up, horror fans! This week on the Nightmare on Film Street horror movie podcast, Kimmi and Jon are diving into the wild, wild West with the vampire cult classic, Near Dark (1987).
Get ready for a rowdy romp through this bloody, dusty gem where a young cowboy falls for the wrong girl and gets dragged into a vampire gang that’s more Tombstone than Twilight. We’re talking spurs, bloodsuckers, and a whole lotta leather. It's a dog-eat-dog world after the sun sets.
Join us as we chat about Kathryn Bigelow’s directorial flair, the wild antics of Bill Paxton’s Severen, and why these rough 'round the edges vamps redefine cool. We’ll also dive into the film’s unique blend of horror and western genres, and how it stakes its claim in vampire movie history.
So, throw on your sunglasses, cowboy boots, and joinnn usss...
