Alice Lestat in Chains

Chained Lestat by fabioalexworld

“No entanto, o convento estava vazio. Todos os pequenos fantasmas haviam sumido. O convento era meu. Do servo de Memnoch; príncipe de Memnoch. Eu estava só na minha prisão.”

“However, the convent was empty. All the little ghosts were gone. The convent was mine. Memnoch’s servant; Memnoch’s prince. I was alone in my prison.”

[Edit: better translation provided by nyctomanic]

Is there any reason to why Claudia cried real tears and not blood tears right before Louis turned Madeleine into a vampire? Isn’t vampires supposed to cry blood tears? I have been wondering…

Ricean vampires do cry blood tears in the books. Other vampires might not. Claudia would have cried blood tears.

In this production still from a cut scene, it looks like Claudia does have blood tears:

I don’t know why they didn’t actually do it throughout the movie. Looks like they at least tried, though :- 

Here’s another production still. Maybe the director didn’t like the thickness of them? Or the fact that they would be difficult to add in physically, since you’d have to redo her makeup for each take? In the books, blood tears are basically regular tears tinged with blood, so they would probably look pink, not so thick and red as these are. These look like ketchup.

                              CLAUDIA
		He belongs with those reptiles,
		Louis. He deserved to die.

				LOUIS
		Then maybe so do we. Every night of
		our lives. He was my brother. My
		maker. He gave me this life,
		whatever it is.

				CLAUDIA
		I did it for us, Louis. So we could
		be free.

	He stands there, saying nothing.

				CLAUDIA
		Louis, look at me.

				LOUIS
			(bitterly)
		I can't. Go away from me.

	Claudia is shocked to her core. She steps back. Louis
	stares at the rippling waters. Gradually the movement
	of alligators stops. Then he hears a sound he hasn't
	heard in years. Soft, choking. He turns, sees Claudia
	sitting by a cypress tree, like a little girl for the
	first time in years. She is weeping copiously.

				LOUIS
		Claudia - You're crying -

	We see her face, tears of blood running down it. She is
	heartbroken, lost.

				CLAUDIA
		You never talked to me like that -
		in all these years.

				LOUIS
		And you never cried -

				CLAUDIA
		I can't bear it when you do - I
		would die rather than lose you
		Louis. I would die the way he died.

	Louis gathers her in his arms.

				LOUIS
		Hush, Claudia, hush now my dear -

				CLAUDIA
		Tell me you don't hate me Louis. I
		did it for you -

	Louis walks her towards the carriage.

				LOUIS
		I love you Claudia. Always. And we
		are free now, Claudia. No Lestat.
		Just the two of us, beginning the
		great adventure of our lives.
