THE BLACK VAMPYRE 1819. The first black #vampire, the first vampire story by an American writer & the first vampire anti-slavery narrative. This remarkable text is discussed in our @OGOMProject book on Polidori: the Romantic Vampire and its Progeny @GothicMUP
Two of the last four movies I've seen in the theater were set in 1989. Another was set in 1999. Another took place 10,000 years after the Butlerian Jihad. What I'm saying here is: Screenwriters *really* don't like it when characters have access to cellphones.
@Barry_Cinematic@CaptKarnstein I think the error was waiting for the third movie to start the anthology concept. By then, the idea of the series as the Michael Myers Story had lodged in public’s mind.
@Barry_Cinematic But what if the movie ends with, “It was all a dream…..Or was it?” And then a cat jumps on the survivor, knocking the phone out of her hand into the lake, where a skeletal hand raises from the water clutching the phone, which shows no bars and she trips trying to get away.
@BCDreyer And Planet of the Apes was filming at the same time as Valley of the Dolls. One day, some cast members from one movie visited the set of the other.
