Blood in the Sand.

Excuse me, could you spare a pint of blood?  I like to drink a nice tall goblet of warm virgin blood before bed and my victim... err umm I thought I had more in the fridge.  Silly me for not keeping an eye on my... supply.  Mistress Violet Strychnine  here with another vicious blow to your eye sockets.  My older brute of a brother and I used to play cowboys and vampires when we were children.  After all, we didn't have the kind of technology kids have nowadays (mindless little zombies).  We didn't have video games, television, radio, or electric lights.  We had to make our own fun so he would pull out his favorite six-shooter and load it with wooden bullets and I would try to mutilate the cattle without him catching me.  It was good clean fun.  Anyways tonight's film is the 1987 Western spiced vampire flick Near Dark.  It's masterfully directed by the amazing Kathryn Bigelow of Point Blank and Blue Steel fame.  Watch things get all fouled up when young lady vamp falls for whiney cowboy hunk.  Horror veterens Lance Hendriksen and Bill Paxton completely steal the show as part of a dirty, grizzled band of traveling vamps looking for a tasty meat snack. After the famous bar scene you'll never look at cowboy boot spurs the same again.  I myself like my blood to be freshly squeezed for me.  Getting all dirty just isn't my style.  Besides, I don't want to crack one of my talons.  22 days my little cretins.  Beware.  Take Care.  xoxo
