Tonight's vampire movie doesn't have the word vampire in it, but it does have a hell of a stylish neo-western and dare I say even neo-noir flare to it-Kathryn Bigelow's gorgeous, stylistic 1987 Near Dark. Bill Paxton in scene-stealer mode.

We ended up watching Shadow of the Vampire which is pretty great. DaFoe just phenomenal.

Samesies. I'm so mad at the director of Sicario for making an objectively well made movie out of such a rw jerkoff of a script... (see also Hell or High Water). Taylor Sheridan is very good at framing right wing/patriarchal talking points in a way a lot of viewers simply do not interrogate.

Unfortunately tubi roulette has ended for a time, as it tried to follow up with a non-vampire movie. Who knows what we will watch tonight!! 🦇

Continuing in a comedic vein (narf) thanks to tubi roulette with Amy Heckerling's 2012 Vamps, which is cute. The first 30 or so were a bit hard for me but I eased into the tone and relaxed and had a good time with the last 40 or so. Come for "Clueless w/ Fangs" stay for criticism of the patriot act.

there should be no shame in enjoying aesthetics! I love me some strong look/weak story movies. crimson peak is one of mine 🤭- but that has Chastain going all-out. Catherine D. Is such an inaccessible character for me- all she IS is her selfishness, it's the entirety of her existence.

I'm pretty sure Vampire's Kiss is the unholy spawn of George Romero's Martin (77) and American Psycho... did Brett EE do a lot of coke while watching Vampire's Kiss and then he wrote AP? I'm just speculating but...

We went back to NYC last night- a lot of vampires in that city- to watch Nic Cage in 1988's Vampire's Kiss, some truly incredible work. Truly incredible whatever the fuck he was doing (Annika suggests channeling Norma Desmond). I'm pretty sure the movie itself is a solid dark comedy.

Maybe they only saw The Evil Dead, so they missed all the humor and focused on the tree rape and the horrified, powerless characters being tormented. As opposed to the goofy comedy of 2/3/tv series.

Had to wash The Hunger out of our mouths, so we revisited a not-so-old favorite, Neil Jordan's very excellent Byzantium. For a movie that could lean grim, nihilistic or tragic, this is a very hopeful, gentle movie about consent. And vampire "sisters" Saoirse Ronan and Gemma Arterton- tremendous.

🎃oslowe🎃 @oslowe.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Last night we danced gothic to Tony Scott's 1983 debut, The Hunger a movie that slinks stylishly around some really interesting ideas, and sort of just... keeps going until the EC Comics ending. All my goth pals in the 90s loved this movie. I do not.

Tubi is really hitting it in the vampire flix- check it, from my Oct list alone, on tubi: Daughters of Darkness, Let The Right One In, Kiss of the Vampire, Kiss of the Damned, DEF by Temptation, Scream Blacula Scream, Blacupa, Subspecies, Habit, The Hunger, Vampire in Brooklyn, Fright Night... 😮

Last night we watched Xan Cassavetes' 2012 Kiss of the Damned, a throwback to 70s vampire eroticism- this movie is glorious in its languid sensuality, not afraid to get messy, and creative in its embrace of many of the familiar trappings- done just differently enough to feel invigoratingly fresh.

Annika and I are trying 31 Nights of vampires- watching a vampire movie per day of October. We have a pretty badass list at Letterboxd. (Inspired to make a vamp list by @jenyetagain.bsky.social )

Happy October 1st, or as we call it in my home "the release date of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre in 1974". May your autumn days be as beautiful as if Daniel Pearl was shooting them.

The Arena showdown from Sergio Corbucci's The Mercenary (1968) > The Graveyard Showdown from Sergio Leone's The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.. However Leone's film is the better overall movie, imho.
