When a vampire washes itself, rain will fall from heaven. Thus, when a drought occurs, nobles send all their men to wash, because any of them may be a vampire.

From Agnes Murgoci’s 1927 paper The Vampire In Roumania, as found in The Vampire Casebook compiled by Alan Dundes

This is so amazing to picture. Like ok men, we know PROBABLY some of you are vampires. IT HAPPENS. This is old timey Romania. That’s how it works. So hey don’t worry, no questions asked, personal business is personal business, but if EVERYONE would just go take a shower we would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Brad Pitt‘s inner left forearm tattoo has been ID’s as the outline of Ötzi the Iceman, aka Frozen Fritz and Similaun Man. Here’s
some history behind Europe’s oldest natural human mummy via the South Tyrol Museum of
Archeology
:

Over 5000 years ago, a man climbed up to the icy heights of the
Schnalstal glacier and died. He was found by accident in 1991, with his clothes
and equipment, mummified and frozen: an archaeological sensation and a unique
snapshot of a Copper Age man.

The mummy of Otzi and the articles found with it, found in 1991 on the border
between Austria and Italy, have been on exhibit since March 1998 at the South
Tyrol Museum of Archeology.

I would rather have watched these outtakes than the movie, tbh.

LMAO Ok, so I actually used to LOVE this awful movie when it first came out. Feel free to judge, I was in only 7th grade at the time, and most films with darker themes were still new and fresh and exciting to me back then (thinking about it, the movie may have been my gateway into the VC universe). My opinion of it has changed pretty drastically since then. But I created some pretty fond memories with the friends I was close with in those days, when we would watch it together, so I can’t bring myself to hate it entirely. XD

But yeah, I really get the biggest kick out of seeing actors dressed up, but out of character, having a blast on movie sets. And as atrocious an adaptation (and, well…movie) as it is, Queen of the Damned’s gag reel is one of my favorites of any movie’s that I’ve seen. I’ll admit some of this has to do with nostalgia, but I think it’s mainly because as I watch it, it seems like the actors were frequently losing their shit during filming, and even themselves collectively going through feelings of WHAT IS THIS I DON’T EVEN WHAT DID I SIGN ON FOR, and it just makes me laugh how SO DONE they look, at times. I’m probably doing a lot of projecting here, but this is all just the impression I take away from what little we’re shown. And the cheesy big band music they chose to go with it just makes me love it that much more.

This is all only my own personal experience of course. I certainly don’t blame VC fans for hating it. TL;DR, this movie’s awful, but I could watch its ridiculous gag reel 5EVAR
