Negative Space: vampires
- Blade
-
The best modern vampire movie I’ve seen, this is not a horror movie at all: it’s an adventure, related as much to comic books as to movies. And it’s almost an early “screen test” for “The Matrix”, related to “The Matrix” through “Dark City” and Hong Kong action films. This is an action film. You know right from the first scene that this movie is here to show asses being kicked.
- Christabel
- “The night is chilly, but not dark. The thin gray cloud is spread on high, it covers but not hides the sky. The moon is behind, and at the full; and yet she looks both small and dull. The night is chill, the cloud is gray: ’tis a month before the month of May, and the Spring comes slowly up this way.”
- Fevre Dream
-
Vampire slavery, fast ships, and broken tropes. And sorrow, and happiness. Fevre Dream is a very good book, well worth reading.
- Salem’s Lot
-
When this movie came out in 1979 I missed seeing it, although I had enjoyed the book immensely. I was, honestly, just plain too scared to see it “live” on screen. The book was scary enough. Perhaps it would have been frightening then, I don’t remember myself well enough (I do remember sleeping with a cross after reading the book). It is not very frightening now.

The only time I’ve ever slept with a cross under my pillow was the night after I read Salem’s Lot.
