When you are a vampire, you become very… sexy.

I saw What We Do in the Shadows at the premiere for it in NY. It’s a great vampire mockumentary! I was in stitches. Just excellent. Can’t wait to buy a copy on DVD, the creators said there would be loads of extra goodies *u*

There was a Q&A afterwards with the creators, and I asked them if any of their vampires took inspiration from Anne Rice’s, and they did say the costume design was definitely influenced by Interview with the Vampire, among other vampire movies. The Lost Boys was a big inspiration, too. C’mon tho, Lestat himself had to be an influence. These are very dysfunctional vampires.

I don’t want to spoil anything but there is a scene that is particularly reminiscent of a scene in IWTV!

specialized bindings with spikes in the interior to spill blood of drained vampires if they tried to feed and rejuvenate. Has anyone thought of that yet.

EDIT: obsessional-ram​ added: Yes I am sick, lestat. But I dont use these ideas to hurt ppl so give me a gold star. And Armand dont be getting new ideas im not thinking about a cactus roller. And being human is hard enough being undead prob sux harder by fifty times fifty

I haven’t seen anything like that in canon, or fic, or discussion… there are body parts detached/reattached in the series, though. Who knows what kinds of torture the Children of Darkness subjected those vampires that were being punished, other than simple solitary confinement? 

Vampires feel pain like no other creature. You have a pretty unique and gruesome idea there, obsessional-ram. Write us some horrific fic! 

vampiredevelopment:

G.O.B.: Ah, she wants to talk to you. Got it.
G.O.B.: For some reason, women feel safe around you. Maybe because you’ve only had sex four times.
Michael: Four women, not four times
Episode 1×12 “Marta Complex”

#does anyone else remember that part in iwtv where claudia asks louis what sex is like #and he gets all huffy and is like GOOD NIGHT MADAME #i think he literally says that #and it’s like one of my favorite parts because louis is being insufferable and endearing at the same time #which is pretty much his main skill

Yes! It went like this:

“`It was something hurried, […] and … it was seldom savored … something acute that was quickly lost. I think that it was the pale shadow of killing.’
” ‘Ahhh …’ she said. `Like hurting you as I do now … that is also the pale shadow of killing.’
” ‘Yes, madam,’ I said to her. `I am inclined to believe that is correct.’
And bowing swiftly, I bade her good-night. “

I saw you posted smthg with “What we do in the shadows”. Have you seen it? If not you should. It’s really good. And the tagline is: “Some interviews with some vampires”

Yes I just saw it recently, I looooooved it! Cannot wait to get it on DVD bc there are supposedly lots of great extras TuT

There was a Q&A after the screening I went to so of course I had to ask on behalf of the fandom not bc I am a crazy person if the VC was an influence for their vampires, and they sort of brushed it off, they said only that their costume designer was influenced by IWTV. The sets had similar coloring! and there were other similarities! but at any rate They said that the Lost Boys was their biggest influence.

BUT THERE IS A SCENE that we both know is very reminiscent of a particular scene in IWTV. Which the WWDitS guys said was their favorite to film, and it was one of the most expensive to shoot.

[[Spoiler under the cut.]]

The Fred Astaire gag! They had their own take on it.
