i have spent several days thinking about how my ideal piece of vampire chronicles media is not like, an actual well-done adaptation, but rather a mockumentary about satans nights out/the vampire lestat (in-universe band) because they are…. a southern glam rock band w a vampire theme who got rly famous for like 6 months in 1984, consisting of three stoner hair metal kids from new orleans and one (1) actual, real-life vampire who wants to make a music-video-per-song highly elaborate concept album about his life in a bid to, among other things, get his vampire ex boyfriends attention? and that sounds like perfect band mockumentary setup, to me

What We Do in the Shadows (2014)

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.
