Plenty of extent video of BDH to train the AI, then do as all those 1950s Panavision spoofs on Youtube do, clothe the gals in skintight latex. And I've always been a fan of Dichen Lachman, at least for eye candy. Very tasty in Dollhouse. Part of the Whedon fetish? Both brothers like screwing Asian girls
Ivanhoe Posted February 13 Posted February 13 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-14388375/VAMPIRE-decapitated-discovered-medieval-Croatia.html Quote Now, the remains of a real 15th-century 'vampire' who was decapitated to stop him rising from the dead have been found in a medieval fortress in Croatia. Račeša, a suspected stronghold of the Knights Templar 70 miles (112km) southeast of Zagreb, is the site of more than 180 burials, but one stands out as particularly unusual. According to experts, this grave had been desecrated in an attempt to prevent a suspected vampire from taking his revenge on the living. Archaeologists discovered the remains of a middle-aged man whose body was dug up shortly after death, beheaded and reburied with his torso facing down. Quote Dr Šarkić says: 'Unlike the aristocratic vampires known for their pale skin and slender figures, vampires from Balkan folklore were often described as bloated, long-nailed, and having a ruddy or dark complexion. 'This description aligns with partially decomposed corpses. 'Therefore, any corpse in an advanced stage of decomposition can resemble a vampire.' Surely someone can gin up a movie script exploring the Templar/vampire connection.

Lapland folklore about 'vampires' was similar: they were bloated with blood (when well fed), and people who were suspected of dark magics (or just otherwise of ill repute) were sometimes buried face down. So if they woke up, they would dig downwards, not surface...

Yama Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Wintertime, perhaps, summertime is bit of a dead period for them...
Ivanhoe Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Movie vampires always drink wine, which is more of a temperate zone thing. OTOH, all that fish oil consumed by Scandis would imply they have healthy, clot-free blood.

Stuart Galbraith Posted February 14 Posted February 14 Yeah, could be. Some ordinary animal that was very, very ill and very pissed as a result.

Ivanhoe Posted February 14 Posted February 14 4 hours ago, Ssnake said: Sounds not too bad, actually. Its a decent movie. The premise of vamps converging on a small Arctic town and feasting away is a lot more practical than sparkly gay vamps in a big city wearing ruffled shirts.

I heard it'd a good romp and thst the graphic novel it's based on is decent.
