Louis de Pointe du Lac; Lestat de Lioncourt; Claudia: Interview with the Vampire
Happy (almost) Halloween from HamilPOP and everyone’s favorite gloomy vampires (sorry, Twilight…)!
I keep hearing scuttlebutt that there’s going to be a new adaptation of The Vampire Chronicles as a television show or a film remake of the 1994 movie. Just when I think I get out of a fandom, it drags me back in. And TVC was my first BIG one. Sigh.
I still love Louis the most best always. ❣️
ALL THREE AVAILABLE NOW! If someone purchases a single figurine, I will remove the option to purchase the set.
@eliestela! As per request~ pics of my vampiry mug and a rare partial selfie bc reasons, got it for my birthday last year from the lovely @gairid/@vampchronfic! It’s got 2 sides w/ text: “FAN OF THE FANG” and “Start your day off positive… A Positive” <– har har vampire puns. It’s perfect and I use it p much every day at home bc ppl at the office already think I’m iffy when I occasionally wear my 3-finger ring *eyeroll* bc FAVE MUG.
BTW, if you want one, I found it on eBay, there’s a few listings there.
Also felt like including: Lestat pillow by @sheepskeleton (@sheepskeleton-art) which I had to buy for reasons (now I sleep w/ him every night har har) ❤ Pillow can be bought in several sizes at sheep’s store,
[Follow up to this post] Oh for sure, there is an AVALANCHE of fanmade VC merch on Etsy and elsewhere online. AR probably doesn’t pursue it bc there’s just SO MUCH.
IDK about that movie!IWTV shirt you mentioned, whether that was official VC merch. It would be pretty easy to have such a shirt made.
Some of the fanmade merch is pretty good! Like this cute locket w/ the IWTV cover: (no longer for sale but it would probably be easy to find a similar one on Etsy)
Some of it’s really horrendous tho… I find this really tasteless:
^Thankfully, looks like the link I had for that horrible onesie is broken, idk if it’s still for sale, but this was the price and other product options, too:
There has been, historically, very little VC merch bc AR didn’t have the rights to sell things for the years when other ppl had those rights and they mostly just sat on those rights? I guess?
AR has sold varying interesting things over the years anyway on her own site, annerice.com, I should make a compilation… these things come to mind:
AR was selling a t-shirt featuring pics of her brain scan from when she was in a coma, that was pretty special! I considered buying one to frame it but I’m not now and was never at that level of fannishness tho *whew*
I remember she was selling a worn pair of her own heeled boots at one point but I can’t evidence of that anywhere… does that count? Lol.
Technically there is Anne Rice’s website store, where you can purchase a limited number of items (with really decent prices, it looks like!) including these must-haves (/s):
^I’d rather that ppl did not know that I read that book upon first meeting me, and risk discussing BIRB ALIEMS but anyway…
^Boss asking if you got the memo on the new cover sheets for TPS reports? Or putting in hours on Saturday? Terrify your boss with this on your desk!
^Technically only one person, the actual Lestat, can wear this honestly, but he’s fictional so… idk…
Over the years there may have been official merch for:
the Interview with the Vampire movie (1994) – I don’t remember if there was official merch, but I doubt it.
I’ve been informed that these were official VC shirts for the QOTD movie, and they have been featured on-screen, too. You can still find them on eBay, but they are pricey? Idk.
^Here’s one.
^And this one, too, which might be another shirt or poster from within the movie, too?:
^…and apparently this was the record cover within the movie! though i’m not 100% sure on the latter; might’ve been a mockup by a fan at the time. Look, Tough Cookie is in there? And two Louis-ish dudes?
