The Genre Holiday Project

[2.5 min 13MB, Music by Me] As anyone who has done a Genre Holiday Project will tell you--wait, I'm the only one--the third movie is the hardest. Once you get over the hump of the third movie, you build up momentum. At least I hope so. I've only done three. So here it is, just in time for Monster Mardi Gras--it's still Vampire Valentine's Day here on Genre Holiday. There just aren't (m)any good vampire movies.* If I were forced to pick five that I had to watch, I'd pick three and still not watch them much: Interview with the Vampire From Dusk Till Dawn Vampires Not that they are great (especially Vampires , which was actually bad), but because I like movies that are funny, and these three have a sense of humor. In preparation I also watched: Blade --not bad, but more of a superhero movie despite the vampires. Dracula (1992) --Gary Oldman, Anthony Hopkins, Keanu Reeves. They all did accents for the film. Guess who shouldn't have. Salem's Lot --it's a tv movie from 1979 that's 183 min and based on a Stephen King story. So you might guess that it's cheap, dated, and too long, but with a good story. Van Helsing : fell asleep, but to be fair, I was kinda monstered out at this point. Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the movie) : supposed to be funny, but wasn't. Haven't seen the tv show, but I understand it's totally different. Honorable mention, although I have yet to see it: Dracula (1931) with Bela Lugosi *at least one person on the message board disagrees, and has listed some alternatives.
