Of the moonless nights they are kings, darkness is their kingdom.
Carrying death and sowing terror
the dark Vampires fly,
with great suede wings,
ready not only to do evil%hellip but to do even worse.
The Original Poster for Les Vampires
I%rsquom having a lot of fun creating a score for this. Les Vampires is a film serial that gave us so much of the aesthetic for iconic gothic imagery its influence can not be overstated. Not a single vampire in sight, but enough mystery, twists and wickedness to fill twenty vampire novels.
From Wikipedia:
Les Vampires ( 1915 ) is a 10-part silent film serial . It was written and directed by Louis Feuillade and stars Musidora as %ldquoIrma Vep%rdquo a femme fatale whose name is a suspicious anagram of %ldquo vampire .%rdquo The serial is set in Paris, France and follows the exploits of a gang of master criminals (known in the period as an %ldquo Apache gang %ldquo) who call themselves %ldquoLes Vampires.%rdquo
There are 10 episodes, averaging around 40 minutes each, totalling about 6 and a half hours.
Olivier Assayas 1996 movie Irma Vep , with a story line of a director%rsquos attempt to remake Les Vampires , is both an homage to the innovative nature of the original film and a critique of the then current state of French cinema.
