I bought this TV special for one reason; Geraint Wyn Davies (Forever Knight). I was very surprised when I saw that it was a well done TV documentary. I enjoyed the visual aspect of the Vampire lore, with out the ususal cheesiness of most Vampire specials. A must add to any Vampire Lore Collection.

This review is from: Vampires: Thirst for the Truth [VHS] (VHS Tape)

An excellent look at the history of the vampire. 100 minutes of history and Hollywood. TLC did this special in 1996. Interviews with authors/vampire authorities and actors such as Lara Parker (Dark Shadows), Chris Sarandon (Fright Night) and Bela Lugosi, Jr. Covers Dracula and vampires in the movies: Lugosi, Hammer Films and Christopher Lee. Also looks at vampires on TV: Dark Shadows and Forever Knight. Moves along well with lots of info for horror/vampire buffs. This should be on DVD.
