Day 6 Vampires~ In cool tunes

Day 5 Vampires~ From Dusk till Dawn

Without a doubt one of the coolest modern Vampire films is 1997's From Dusk till Dawn...from the director, to the bit parts its everything I love. Directed  by the Legend of Independent film making Robert Rodriguez..the screenplay was written by an absolute legend in the film industry and one of my favorite directors: Quentin Tarantino  

It starred some great actors in George Clooney and Harvey Keitel and the man Quentin himself...but also my favorite actress the ever fabulous Juliette Lewis :))

and some smaller parts by Salma Hayek, Cheech Marin and...I LOVE this guy...Danny Trejo...he is awesome

There was an element of surprise for me...being a Tarantino fan..I didn't expect Vampires! Yet when the crew rolls up to The Titty Twister and meets Chet Pussy (Cheech Marin) you know something gonna be crazy :)

The film is full of dark humor like only Tarantino can perfect...some great makeup and cool tunes which suit this Texas Vampire movie to a T...

Day 4~ Vampires~ The Lost Boys

Getting back to vampires in film, I must admit to absolutely loving 1987 The Lost Boys! I first saw it in the theater as a teen. It was filmed in Santa Cruz,California, much of it at the beach boardwalk...a place I knew well :)Not to mention sexy vampires and great tunes...I soon had a Lost Boys poster on my wall :p It stars Keifer Sutherland,Jamie Gertz, Jason Patric and more...is based on a gang of small town vampires who have taken over. The Frog brothers (Corey Feldman and Jamison Newlander) are sort of the local vampire experts and add a bit of comedy.
