Drink My Red Blood!
by Michael McGrutherHollywood is at it again, pulling out all the stops on a genre and twisting it to promote their backwards value system of unbridled debauchery while at the same time taking a swipe at conservatives and more importantly, people of faith.
In this NY Times article titled “Necks Overflowing With Rivers of Metaphor,” the argument is gleefully made that the vampire genre is the perfect platform to expose the idiocy of the right and our strange repulsion against poor vampires who merely want to fuck all night and sleep all day.
You want to see an accurate portrayal of the modern day leftist liberal, using the vampire genre correctly? Watch my very first short film that I wrote, produced, directed and edited back in 2005 on pocket change, in 5 days in rural New Jersey using a digital camera and all unknown actors.
It is based on a short story by Richard Matheson titled “Drink My Red Blood” and what compelled me to make it was one scene in particular where the lead character, Jules, shares his composition in school called “My Ambition.” The movie is 15 minutes long. I broke it into two parts and uploaded it to YouTube for you to watch (NSFW).

Jules Dracula is the perfect portrait of how leftists develop into pure evil by absolutely despising all that is good and seeking revenge against those who won’t let them simply be who they really are deep down inside; godless haters of Christian values, especially personal restraint.
Those within the industry will instantly recognize the Jules Dracula’s in their lives. And It should be noted that I attempted to make this into a TV series called THIRST and could find no takers. I guess the truth hurts too much.

I have a friend who also attempts to make short films on no money in NJ. Coincidentally, he today sent me links to Robert Florey's "The Life and Death of 9413, a Hollywood Extra", made in 1928 with an (alleged) $97.00 budget.

I was kind of sympathetic to the whole vampire genre–not the really gory stuff, but the films that portrayed them as being more complex; it'd be nice not to think of them as unremittingly evil. Then I got dragged into watching Twilight. By the end of that movie, having listened to an hour and a half of mindless dialogue and squeals from dozens of "tweens," suddenly mass slaughter wasn't sounding so bad to me. Right now, I'm at the stage where everything new I see in the vampire section just seems like an attempt to milk this "Twilight" fever while it lasts. I've heard "True Blood" is pretty good, I even watched part of an episode and was amused by all the vampires with Southern accents, but other than that I've had it. Someone invent something new.
The vampire genre will die with Pelosi in 2010. I am bringing a silver tipped, wooden stake dosed in Holy water with me to the voting booth.
Vampires are the ultimate characters; either hot looking heroes or dispicable villians, that way no race is singled out as bad guys, unless its white american men whose ancestors came from europe – then all bets are off. white american men whose ancestors who came from europe are the most evil creatures ever to roam the earth, especially if they are republican/conservative. think about when was the last time you saw sean hannity or rush limbaugh photographed standing next to a mirror ? — just kidding
I enjoyed the short film. It makes me want to know about the shop keeper, who managed to keep Dracula locked away all these years.
I really don't appreciate the trend of turning vampires into sympathetic characters and heroes. This turns morality on its head, and promotes that slavery to one's passions is a good thing. It is interesting that most people recognize the loss of humanity and degradation that occurs when following the base passions when this is represented in the werewolf. Tie these same ideas into the vampire story and suddenly a lot of creatives want to make turn the creature into a tragic hero. Despite the fact that the element of victimhood is present in both cases.
In werewolf stories we all know that the creature has to be put down, otherwise death and destruction follows. Everyone works to make sure that happens. A lot of today's vampire stories want us to embrace the beast and ignore the dehumanization. Michael is right, modern vampire stories are a perfect example of Liberal ideology: Live for today. Follow your bliss. Embrace your animal nature. Despise the transcendent. Worship the immanent.
An aside, I tried to watch True Blood, but lost all interest when I realized that it was going to be a sex-soaked, Republican bash fest, which did everything it could to inject foul language into as many scenes as possible. Why? Because its not TV, its HBO. Call me a prude if you like, but I couldn't find one redeeming value in it. My opinion: Don't waste your time.
Great camera work, Michael! Thanks for sharing and I hope you go far with this!
I have a question: were we supposed to be shocked at his tirade or laugh at him for his overwroughtness and self-seriousness(found within some liberals I could mention)? I reacted with the latter response.
The books are filled with wry humor and observations about small town life, and have a decent respect for its working-class heroine and her friends. They're also leavened with sex and a healthy dash of violence, but they are definitely not deep-fat fried in gore and Southern stereotypes like the series. I was disappointed too!
What on HBO *isn't* a Republican bash fest?
Call me a dork but I dug the tv show Angel for all my vampire lore, and haven't needed anything else since. It had its ups and downs (I'm talking to YOU, season 4!!), however it was always good at showing how utterly evil and soulless vampires were (among the other nasties that were fought on a weekly basis, including many humans). It usually had the theme of doing what was right for the sake of it being right. This romanticized crap that was popularized by Anne Rice and whoever that person was that wrote the Twilight series is, well, crap. That and Robert Pattinson always has that "I'm either drunk or slightly queer" smile, and honestly that always makes me want to punch him.
Yeah, I tried to watch Deadwood one time while staying in a hotel on business. It seemed like every other word was "f*ck". I don't mind foul language, if it's in context with the storyline, but to just use it because you can (because it's not network tv), well it loses me. I ended up reading a book instead.
I loved the movie! My attention span usually doesn't allow me to watch anything online that is more than a minute in length, but I was hooked right from the beginning. On a side note, my youngest son read Dracula when he was 14. Took him a long time, but he did it and I was proud of him because it's not an easy read being that it was written in the 1800s (was first published in 1897). He now says that Dracula is the barometer with which he compares all books and movies in the vampire genre; and most don't measure up.
When you decouple vampires from evil they become just another special interest group.
Before the twist ending I thought this meant that if you take whatever liberals say literally it will kill you…(ie their health plan) but what it meant in the end was that if you believe what liberals say you'll end up being a vampire feeding on the tax dollars of the living.
Both. What you may not know is that Hollywood is literally overrun with little Jules Draculas. It's both funny and sad. If you have a chance read the book "I AM LEGEND" it is nothing like the movie and is another allegory for the death of classic values.
"I was kind of sympathetic to the whole vampire genre–not the really gory stuff, but the films that portrayed them as being more complex…"
Me, too. I haven't seen Twilight or any of the other newer shows, but a friend read Twilight and she said she thought it would be juvenile, but she found she couldn't put it down! Now, it's one of her favs. I have no plans to read it, only because I have about dozen books here that need read.
In the short story the kid obsesses over a vampire bat that lives at the local Zoo and he imagines he is Dracula and talks to him every day about how he wants to be a Vampire. Everything else is exactly as it's written in the story. I had no access to a Zoo because the one near me wanted $2000 for one day of shooting. And because I am not really a director who knows what he is doing I didn't think that I could "cheat" a Zoo somehow and still make it work. Thanks so much for viewing it!
A great vampire movie to counter the liberal favorites would be a live-action HELLSING movie.
Now THAT'S some serious darkness. Not shy about it, either.
Vampires suck.
That was pretty dang cool. I want more! That kid is an interesting character, I'd hardly call him sympathetic. Yet certainly someone to keep an eye on. So was the thing (bat?) actually Dracula? DId the boy's distress call out to him (his real father perhaps?) across the distance? Was the boy hallucinating? What the heck is that wacky shopkeeper up to? And where did the punks mysteriously disappear to? Hmmm…??? The kid playing Jules has a nice range by the way, humdrum to irritatingly creepy to downright get me my gun scary within seconds. Interesting.
I guess I didn't see this so much as just another "vampire" thing as an "I'm more important than everyone else and I'll prove it someday meanwhile you suck" sort of thing. But very nicely done.
I liked Angel too! I thought he was a great character, so conflicted of course. I too really enjoyed seeing him go through gritty adventures trying pathetically to somehow make up for all the evil he'd done. It was a really fun late night show to catch, you could always depend on having some laughs along with a lot of action and maybe even a few chills.
If anything, Twilight is the ultimate example of conservative values. Think about it- the "good" vampires that are featured in the book are close-knit, family-oriented, and go against their near-uncontrollable, natural, primal inclinations (eating humans) because they don't feel it is right. Edward and Bella even wait to get married before doing the deed, and Edward (the guy) is the one who works hardest to convince Bella! And (big spoiler) when Bella becomes pregnant, she refuses to have an abortion, even though the odds were overwhelmingly NOT personally in her favor by doing so (good chance she would die from having the human/vampire hybrid). Consequently, the "bad" vampires don't make any effort to go against their instinct, they turn on their friends and "family" at a moment's inclination, and many are driven to amass as much power over humans and other vampires as they possibly can. Sound familiar?
As much fun as it is to make fun of Twilight, it's a very good thing that so many young people are reading Stephanie Meyer.
PS: And I thought his parents were kinda creepy too! Keeping mum about the breast-biting, burning the unholy book & making sure he could see it… Is there a plot with the shopkeeper perhaps to awaken the inner vampire? Maybe the teacher's in on it! Just some thoughts, I do think this could be worked into a much longer movie/miniseries/something. Already seems more interesting to me than "Dark Shadows".
Hey, yah, HELLSING!!! Gotta love that funky theme music… You're right though, that is a seriously dark and twisted piece of work. And think of how the "hero" (worst villian of all time???) worked so hard to keep the girl from becoming like him, as otherworldy as he was, could that have been… love?
I hadn't watched Angel at the time (and never watched Buffy) and only watched the first season a few months ago on hulu.
It wasn't always terribly consistent on the vampires are pure monsters front, but I did really appreciate Angel's friends keeping wood stakes and crosses near-by for *him* in case he turned on them. Sort of like… like you plenty, don't trust you, and will kill you in an instance to save my life… now lets go get the bad guys.
I don't know…I just watched The Informers the other evening and found it disturbing without having to resort to vampires. The scene where Graham (Jon Foster) comes to the realization that he wants to be good, but just doesn't know what is good and what is bad.
It's 'Sex in the City' with fangs.
The antique shop with the bat in "protective custody" – though who is protecting whom is open to question – I find more interesting than the kid obsessing over a vampire bat in a zoo. I can't quite tell if the shop owner is Renfield or Van Helsing. Though in Matheson's hands I'm sure the zoo bit works quite well.
[...] more: Drink My Red Blood! This entry is filed under America – Blogs, Big Hollywood. You can follow any responses to this [...]
Even though it has only produced six episodes total, I really prefer the British series BEING HUMAN over the camp fest that is TRUE BLOOD. In better incorporates the supernatural into the real world and isn't hampered by TB's asinine and poorly thought out central metaphor. Other pluses off the top of my head: the vampires in BEING HUMAN are not rejects from a GQ catalog, they are largely working class looking types. The main evil Vampire is a short middle age fellow who "moonlights" as a local copper and has a fling with the plump little Hospital lunch counter girl. The Werewolves and the transformation effects are done old school AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON style, with no CGI whats so ever. And the climax in the last episode is done to Johnny Cash's THE MAN COMES AROUND.
I caught about 20 minutes of a "True Blood" episode and that's indeed what they are in that show. The vampires mau-mau for equal rights in between h u m p sessions with slutty waitresses. The show was basically softcore p o r n with fangs and a few stabs at "relevance."
The thought occurs to me that perhaps it was going for parody but it didn't hold my interest long enough for me to find out. Actually, using vampires as putative discrimination victims could be the stuff of truly biting (pardon the pun) satire, but Hollywood has gone so PC I doubt that many these days would see the potential.

Satanists are already.
Okay, so what was with the store owner? Did he want the kid to figure out Dracula was real or not?
I'm going to assume that the image of an obelisk silhouette next to the words "he will rise" is just a graphic coincidence..?
"If anything, Twilight is the ultimate example of conservative values."
In that both are instantly-dated, simplistic, embarassingly-wedded to anachronistic religiousity and have no business being taken seriously by anyone over the mental age of 12; I do believe we agree
I couldn't watch more than 15 minutes of Twilight… but am obsessed with the books. The Twilight world is just fascinating!!! I don't like to holler 'sexism' but really, it is a fundamentally 'female' book, with its emphasis on personal relationships. Plus, gawdhelpme, an actual "gentleman" (not mentioned in our culture since 1960).
Men, on the other hand, can adore Star Trek and Dune and StarWars, and etc. And there are no snickers on the level that exist when Twilight is mentioned.
Sort of reminds me of the whole Poppy Z Brite crap that was popular in the nineties. A friend convinced me to read Lost Souls, and all I came away with was:
This whole concept is built on the idea of some kind of self-enlightened predator that these losers wish they could be. It's a rejection of personal responsibility to wallow in hatred of those who would keep you from hurting them.
Heather-
Straight men don't let other straight men read "Twilight". Sorry, it's part of our guy code. Star Trek, Star Wars, et al are not the same. At all. Geeky sci-fi is a guy thing. "Twilight" is teh ghey in much the same way as "Sex in the City".
That is, from a guy's point of view.
Silver is for werewolves. The stake and holy water should be sufficient. I believe a crucifix is often used to good effect as well.
Good job. And it is a fair portrait of narcissism, the leftie's defining trait.
My girl friend is a rabid True Blood fan ( and liberal to the point that i question her sanity or intelligence some days ) and kept begging for me to watch it. Having gotten rid of HBO a while ago I got the first two episodes from Netflix. It sucked so bad i didn't even bother to watch the second episode. It was just one bad cliche and southern stereotype after another. She claims that it is satire and I just don't understand the humor. She may be right but like I told her, I just can't find the funny in a woman being strangled to death during rough sex and another being kicked in the mouth but murderous rednecks.
Btw, what is up with the girl getting jumped by the rednecks, she is a freaking mindreader for pete's sake. She should have know they were coming. And for that matter, why is she a bad waitress in a isolated dump? If i could read minds i would be a millionaire.
GAH!
My idea, should I be able to expand it was that the shop keeper was a Werewolf keeping Dracula trapped in bat form inside the "bat box" hidden in a corner of his shop. I was going to turn this into a TV series about how Dracula uses his new Renfield – Jules – to help him build up his revenge army. I also thought "Jules Dracula" would be a great title as well. Thanks again for watching!
that book would make a great movie, why they have to mess with it is beyind me.
Me too. I still love Angel.
Michael, I loved the short story. I remember reading it years and years ago while spending a summer working at a hotel on Mackinac Island. Although I imagined Jules being younger… nine or ten maybe. But awesome little film.
The vampire as ubermensch thing seems to me a symptom of Hollywood "creative types" imagining themselves as super-beings whose beautifulness exempts them from the rules and morality that constrain us mere mortals.
Case in point: when Hollywood adapted Philip K. Dick's "Do Androids Dream of Electic Sheep?" into Blade Runner, Dick's less-than-human androids were elevated into "more-human-than-human" super-beings who are more beautiful and possess greater strength than mere mortals… and are persecuted for "who they are" to boot.
A race of super-beings in a lofty realm high above the foolish morals of the puny humans below seems like Hollywood's favorite way of imagining itself… sorta like the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.
There is a movie called Omega Man starring Charleton Heston which is a closer adaptation of the novel:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Omega_Man
No one's got the balls to do a "Castaway" type action movie. Matheson's "I am Legend" is a story about the last man on Earth. Period.
<<Spoilers!>>
There is no hope of rescue. No volleyball to talk to. I'm fairly certain the decision making people in hollywood don't have the guts to sell a 2 hour movie filled mostly with Scientific Method and stake sharpening. Especially with a main character who takes matters into his own hands, solves his own problems, and does everything he can to better his own situation, rather than hoping that someone else will solve all his problems. It doesn't matter that he really is the last man on Earth, this kind of thought process showcases conservative values. Especially since Matheson's hero is an everyday guy, not Will Smith's Ivy-League, Military-trained Virologist. More like Walt Kowalski with a pointy stick.
Given the success of Castaway, and that I am Legend has been made into a movie at least thrice, you think that someone should be able to do justice to the story.
Vampires were better before they got excessively emo. I do like the idea of the vampire as something more complex than a subhuman blood-sucker, but I much prefer my vampires to be unapologetic predators. Who wants to watch lions agonizing over whether or not they were too brutal to the zebra they just killed? You can inject interest into vampires without that.
Actually, there are conservative critics of Twilight despite what the MSM says. One is Mark Earley who has this to say to those who declare "Twilight" is pro-abstinence and thus "good":
What they’re failing to notice is this: Bella is completely without self-confidence. She’s constantly putting herself down and treating her boyfriend as some superior being, using terms like “god” and “angel” to describe him. She looks down on herself just for being human, and wants to lose her humanity as soon as possible.
In turn, the vampire Edward has disturbing habits like sneaking into Bella’s room and watching her sleep, eavesdropping on her and her friends, encouraging her to deceive her father, and even disabling her truck and kidnapping her to keep her from seeing other friends.
Put all this together, and you have one very unhealthy relationship—and this is what’s being viewed by far too many teens and adults as the greatest romance since Romeo and Juliet.
Just to cite one of the most obvious concerns, we’re living in an age of Internet predators, where it’s easier than ever for criminals to reach teenage girls and lure them away from home. And here we have these books celebrating a girl who’s willing to throw away her family, her friends, her identity, and her life for a stalker with controlling, even abusive tendencies.
(cont.)
Whoops. I forgot to add the link Earley's full review:
http://www.crosswalk.com/books/11582544/
Earley is correct that a novel series that glamorizes stalkers and abusive boyfriends like Edward is as bad as one that promotes the "sex without consequences" lie.
Weren't the androids in Blade Runner prone to random bouts of berserk, uncontrollable violence? That's why they were persecuted, not because of their "differences". Graagh. Liberal elitism…We don't hate you because you're rich and beautiful. We hate you because you're morally bankrupt jerks.
Another great pick is the hit comic book film, Blade, starring Wesley Snipes. The movie completely demolishes the liberal mindset that vampires are misunderstood victims or oppressed minorities. The vampires in Blade come off as purely evil, blood-sucking,and very arrogant rapists, criminals, and terrorists who must be annihilated. (The title character of Alien is more lovable by comparison.)
So, you can't help but cheer as Snipes uses machine gun, sword, and kung fu to wipe out his inhuman foes. See example below:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cW1bBs20y0g&fe...
In short, Blade is the cure for those who are sick and tired of the "sympathetic" and homoerotic Anne Rice-style vampires. (Actually, last I heard, Rice is also tired of vampires and is now writing Christian fiction.)
Don't forget the garlic! Also natural flowing water is a barrier to their path. That's probably why they push bottled water. HAH! Another example of their lunacy: We are supposed to cut down on our oil consumption yet they can't go anywhere without a plastic waterbottle. Where do they think plastic comes from anyway?
It is impossible to do justice to the source material if you don't respect the ideology and symbolism within said material. Sometimes I wonder if the movies/shows are made to distract people from reading the source material.
I was wondering when someone would metion Blade. He definitely is a conservative badass. He denies his vampiric urges because they are immoral. As for Rice, she seems to be writing Christian fiction designed to piss off Christians. I read her book and it was definitely an interesting take on what happens to Jesus during the years of his life not chronicled in the bible. If I were a fervent Christian, I would have been furious. As it is, I found it midly interesting. Not her best work.
Angel was a poor shadow of the Canadian show "Forever Knight" which was basically ripped off lock, stock, and barrel. Including the vampire detective who wants to be human, various vampiric hangers on, and so on.
Twilight is for most conservatives, a horror. It is like a how-to manual for girls to find themselves an abusive bad boy, be defined by relationships, and base all relationships on the expectation of sex, and pure physical dominance-inspired sexual attraction. The movie and book series is also beloved of adult women, a rather sad and pathetic commentary.
Replace the book on Dracula with one on Marx and I think you've got a winner. "I wanna be a Marxist!"
Just kidding, I really enjoyed the film.
yeah I've seen it and I like it. But the book lays it out there and no interpretations or "improvements' are needed.
"No one's got the balls to do a "Castaway" type action movie. Matheson's "I am Legend" is a story about the last man on Earth. Period"
Then how do you explain the way the Vampires try to coax the Hero out of his house by having orgies on his lawn and roof? By performing pornographic lust for him to see while waving for him to join them? Did you even read the book? Then at the end, after RESISTING that kind of behavior for the entire story he finds out that the Vampires have developed a serum that allows them to live in the daylight and they are building a new world. Once captured, he lays in the hospital bed of the new Vampire world and right before they put him to sleep his last words are "I am Legend" and that means that the whole world has embraced unfettered evil once he is gone. That's is what the book is about. The whole last man on Earth is meaningless unless that man actually stands for something.
So does Jules show himself to be a liberal by his violent, misogynistic fantasies of attacking female classmates or by his homoerotic fascination with the older, more experienced Count Dracula? Both? I'm with you on liberalism=vampirism. I'm just trying to make sure I'm clear on the argument.
I absolutely LOVE "Being Human." It better come back for more seasons!
"This romanticized crap that was popularized by Anne Rice and whoever that person was that wrote the Twilight series is, well, crap. "
And this is one of the big reasons I absolutely loved John Carpenters, "Vampires". He even put in a reference to how much crap the ann rice view of vampires is.
it was like "never ending story" meets Anikin Skywalker meets "grimlins"
I found the kid to be annoying, I would guess we were supposed to.
I wanted another growing up scene to help the infant scene have more context.
is this a wholly contained story or the beginning? I'd hope for the latter.
I can only think of 4 movie/tv-vampires I ever think qualified for the good-guy routine… most all the others were either designed as "romantic" or "pure evil". I've never seen Hellsing.
1) Blade – the ultimate "Bad-ass" vampire, but he was never one of those guys that seemed to hate his "gift". He just used it…
2) Angel (IMO, Angel embodied the full "spectrum" of bad-ass with moral issues.. he gave in, fought the urges, gave in, fought the urges… etc… I REALLY wanted a true series finale for that show, rather than being left with an on-charging Dragon to end the scene/series.
3) Mick St. John (Moonlight) He hated the fact that he was a vampire and what he "might" Have to do to survive, and couldn't do anything about it. . If you ever get to watch the SciFi replays, Loughlin does the best of these 4 when he had to show how much he detested the other vampires in his "knowledge", even his mentor.
4) NIcholas Knight (Forever Knight) – Until "Angel" came along, I didn't think anyone was going to be able to do the "vampire that hated who he was" situation better than Davies did. The only difference was that he didn't really "hate" other Vampires.. unless they deserved it, he felt sorry for them for having to put up with the curse, and it's almost like he felt he was putting them out of their misery when he had to fight with one.. that and Nigel Bennett was sheer BRILLIANCE as the utlimate bad guy
They should do what Christoper Nolan and Heath Ledger did with the Joker–add layers to the character while keeping him pure evil and leaving not a bit of room for sympathy. Why can't more villains, vampire or no, be done like that?
just be sure to have a priest standing by as back up
See, I never actually saw that movie…I do like John Carpenter, though…his version of The Thing is one of my fav horror movies to date.
Nice! Give Matt my props on the excellent music. I especially liked how he dovetailed the Bach into the score smoothly, yet ominously. Nice touches abound: Tyndales?! That gave me a chuckle (Or, perhaps it was a coincidence). Dracula imprisoned while he was in the form of a bat. That's really original. I could see where he might be vulnerable if you could capture him in that form and prevent him from transforming back.
It also raises a lot of questions… which is why there should be more installments! I want to see Jules devolve into pure evil.
Oh, and I appreciate naysayers who don't like True Blood (I read every comment), but I've seen every episode from the beginning, and I'm addicted to it. I think it's a fresh take on combining the supernatural world with the natural one, and it raises a lot of interesting questions. I especially liked the episode – SPOILER! – where the 2,000 year old vampire had had enough and self-immolated in the sunlight. There was something redemptive about it, and you could tell he'd devolved to the deepest pit of hell and crawled back out.
Yeah, the Christian bashing is tiresome, I'll admit: It ticks me off some too, but i've endured much worse. Overall though, I find it highly entertaining.
It's more complex that that but the scene that makes him 100% leftist liberal is the classroom scene where, after reading about how great a dark path could be for him he lays out desire for revenge against everyone who disagrees, you know, because he's "different".
Clearly lefty libs have a completely different value system and are against classic Christian values. The parallel I drew is Jules wanting to change the world to fit his desire for evil. I hope that clears it up for you.
"Tyndale" was what we call a "happy accident" in filmmaking. The owner of the shop does not really spell his name that way but it his last name.
I always thought Angel was better written than Buffy, however that's just me. The first 3 seasons of Buffy were the most solid and it seemed like after that, all the good writers hopped onboard with Angel.
