Vampires!

Vampires was also a very big part of my childhood, not as big as the zombies, but close.. Though I cant say that vampires was cool, there are a lot of cool movies out there with them.. and some that even are game characters. (Although, I dont read books about them.. not my type of book) But some movies about them are actually only “ok” or worse...

Just look at The Vampire Chronicles which is about this vampire called Louis de Pointe du Lac.. Damn that name.. lets just call him Louis for gods sake.. Well as the titles sais, the movie is about his lifestyle.. it all begins with him starting his story by telling them what predicted his transformation to Lamia Scelero Scaphim Cretura Acebus! Which would be.. Vampire / Blood Drinking Vessle / Creature of Darkness... (so three different ways to name them) Might be wrong.. but hey, I didn't study for Latin.. In fact we never had the chance of even learning it.. But.. back to the movie.. It begins in Spain LOOOOONG before the movie was even shot.. in fact it was on the 1791.. So I feel kinda sorry for him.. just waiting about 203 years until he could do the interview.. damn we humans are just a bunch of haters.. He was about 24 when this “accident” happened.. which was that his wife and kid .. she died in Childbirth. Which was quite common at 1791. He came stumbling drunk from a tavern one night in the arms of a prostitute. When Louis suddenly held at knife point by the woman's pimp. The Vampire “Lestat De Lioncourt” I mean come ON WHY THE NAMES! Lestat Is well enough damnit! He comes and kills both the woman and the pimp. Then jumps at Louis and begun the Blood Drinking! “skips scene” he woke up in the bedroom and.. if you want to know more about it I recommend checking it out.

Iv seen quite many vampire movies. Though most of them has always had a connection with Dracula. Oh yes, I mean the REAL! Vampire (if you dont count the Demon Creature Nosferatu) No I mean the Vampire KING! The LORD! The Manly Blood Sucker! It was rare that I watched anything else then a Dracula movie when it came to Vampire Movies.. Mostly because Dracula for me.. felt like the real thing. Even though all these vampire movies aside has its agenda.. I felt Dracula had a lot more depth in it. But now, im not going to chat about a million movies.. Just a few of them. And actually a game character I remember quite well.

Which is Vincent Valentine from Final Fantasy 7 which was my favourite character in the game not only because he was a vampire.. He used pistols.. and he had an awesome coat. (it was red.. ok...) he was a “secret” character. He wasnt much of a secret but you had to find him to actually be able to play with him. And he was so famous he actually got his own game called. Dirge of Cerberus and that he actually was in the Final Fantasy 7 movie called Advent Children (which by the way was just awesome) But if I was going to make a summery of the Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children lets say.. its after the game (a few years later) And its a well worth watch. And I fully recommend it.. its better then a home made burger.. And god.. those burgers are gooooood. First of all you find Vincent Valentine in a coffin which by itself is badass.. But at first you dont really know much about him, since he doesn't talk that much even though Vincent isnt a real Vampire, he is more of an Experiment of Professor Hojo (mad Scientist) But I would still call him a Vampire.. mostly because things he does reminds me of certain vampires.

The first ever Vampire movie I can remember was Bram Stoker's Dracula Which was a movie made in 1992. Though I dont remember much of it. Since I was about 7 when I saw it the first time. But I d know it was my first ever Dracula movie.. After that when I turned 17 I began looking up Dracula movies. And watched the original version “Dracula” (the 1920-60 movies) Which was more based of Atmosphere.. But I have to say, they are one of my favorites. There are a lot of them and most are actually very good. I mean look at the action movie Van helsing for example, it was a nice reboot to how vampire movies were. Going from horror to Action Adventure. (awesome) Even though that it was more a Werewolf VS Vampire thing. That has been going on in ages in mythology. Same as the movie called Underworld I had my “god damnit is this shit” in the beginning, but the movie actually grew on me after a few times.. First time I watched it I went.. hmm the hell.. is this a vampire movie.. (this was long before Van Helsing.. by a year) I didnt watch it from start to finish the first go.. I just watched about half.. Then after a while I gave it another go, after I saw Van Helsing.. Dont ask me why I suddenly turned back... Maybe it was just something that movie made me realise.. So I watched it, from start to finish.. And I loved it. It was Amazin.. Then I heard about there was going to be a second one and I dropped my jaw. And by now, Iv seen them all. About 5 times each. And Van Helsing about 4-7. Though I think its because of the Action genre that makes me coming back..

Though I love the original Vampire Movies where its all about the Deep story and how its building up. But for me, I want the perfect day, the perfect time. And place.. Like For Dracula. I has to be past 1 Am.. it most be a weekend.. And everything must be just perfect..

But thats not the case with most movies I watch.. its just something with the old Dracula/Vampire movies, that makes it more fun to watch it then, even though I never get scared its just the dark feeling that adds to the movie.

While for the action movies there isnt really much about time and place, its just to sit on your ass and grab some popcorn and start watching the awesomeness. Speaking of which, recently I watched a movie called “Lesbian Vampire Killers” Which for me at first sounded like some weird shit.. but I looked it up of pure curiosity and damn.. that movie was awesome.. Its a comedy action movie and not really as it sounds xD Its not lesbians that goes around killing vampires.. its the Vampires that are lesbians.. Even though the movie might be a bit “The Hell are you doin !?” The movie is overall pure awesomeness without a doubt!

Vampire movies can though be very bad.. I mean, when they force you to have Sunglasses on you when you watch the movie because its to much sparkle, you know its not a Vampire movie, just a disco ball running around eating people. I cant say its bad.. but I cant say that its good.. because its one of the most horrible experience iv ever had in any movie.. Its the first and ONLY movie iv stopped watching after a few minutes.. But everyone is different, if people like to get brainwashed because of the Sparkling Disco ball I cant blame them. But for me.. I prefer the real deal..
