In Episode 61 of Vox Macabre, host Kit Mann delves into the dark, seductive, and deeply human world of vampires, exploring three cinematic gems that showcase the depth and diversity of the genre: Interview with the Vampire (1994), Near Dark (1987), and Kiss of the Vampire (1963). Each film offers a unique perspective on the vampire mythos, from the lavish gothic drama of Louis and Lestat’s tortured immortality, to the gritty, blood-soaked outlaw tale of Caleb and Mae, and finally to Hammer Horror’s chilling take on vampiric cults and rural gothic terror.
Kit dissects the themes of loneliness, morality, and survival that unite these films, while also spotlighting the groundbreaking performances, technical achievements, and behind-the-scenes stories that bring them to life. With comprehensive trivia and thought-provoking analysis, this episode is a must-listen for fans of both classic and modern vampire lore.
