❝ You whining coward of a vampire who prowls the night killing alley cats and rats and staring for hours at candles as if they were people and standing in the rain like a zombie until your clothes are drenched and you smell like old wardrobe trunks in attics and have the look of a baffled idiot at the zoo.❞
On this day in horror history, Interview with the Vampire was released in 1994.
Fair warning: I’m extremely partial and biased toward Anne Rice and Tom Cruise. Sorry in advance if you want to throw up in your mouth from my gushing BUT….
This is my most favorite vampire movie ever made. I love Anne Rice’s vampires – the elegance, the complexity, the imminent danger.
This is one of the few movies that I like that is based on a book. The cast is phenomenal. Everyone is beautiful. Tom Cruise is still beautiful when he’s just a rotten carcass playing the piano.
My favorite line is:
“Evil is a point of view. God kills indiscriminately and so shall we. For no creatures under God are as we are, none so like him as ourselves.”
This is a beautiful movie and the whole series is beautiful. And best of all, she’s writing again, finally.
Now, go be enthralled by The Brat Prince.
