  The Lost Boys! I'd forgotten that.
  No, I haven't seen the T word either, and don't intend to!
  I read Bram Stoker's Dracula a few years ago and it blew me away...amazing.
  You know I just wasn't with it enough to make it to The Princess Theatre when I was still in Brissie, a shame.
  Have you seen the silent film (I guess it must be the first vampire film) Nosferatu? That's well worth watching, especially the tinted version with the creepy soundtrack.
  I found the entire tinted version uploaded on youtube but unfortunately it's with a crappy soundtrack. The version I saw at the cinema had an amazing string orchestral soundtrack that was REALLY creepy and cool.

  Another version of Dracula I loved as a child is with Frank Langella in the lead. The movie scared the hell out of me when I was young but re-watching it all I can think is, damn Dracula's hot! LOL

  Recently I got for my husband 'Dracula in Pakistan' for 2 euros. Very funny.

  I've ALWAYS loved vamp films-- ever since I was a kid...of all the horror films, vamps were my fav!!!
  Anyhow, you named all the good ones... LOVEEEE Lost Boys-- cult film.. And BS is my fav. vamp film...
  Did you ever read Anne Rice? I did years ago when she wrote them... then lost interest after a few...I think by the third one..
  New FAVS-- True Blood and Vampire Diaries, tv. series.. Don't know if you watch them...
  but they are totally different from one another...
  Anyhow.. glad you brought up the topic!
  Have a great weekend, Penn!!
  Screamish - I'm just hoping its still there and they havent knocked it down or turned it into apartments (umm, says she who owns an apartment in McWhirters!). I will have to go by in July and check...
  Rochelle, you know, I think I have seen Nosferatu, but I'm not sure which version...
  Leesa - I have been thinking about checking out some of the new vampire Tv series! I have read quite a few of the Anne Rice books. And I loved her Mayfair Witches series (with Lasher) - they were very cool.
  Nausferatu is the best.
  Penny, thank you so much for the Fractal Theatre link. Wow what a cool theatre company. I too have great memories of there productions.
  Sorry...Their productions. Anyway looks like the chinatown mall might be finished by the time you visit. Since they started when you left it is none too soon.
