Interview with the Vampire/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Ensemble Darkhorse: After Interview its hard to deny that Lestat became the main protagonist of the rest of the series.
  • Narm: "This place is cursed! DAAAAAMNED!"
    • When Lestat launches into the air as he's biting Louis, since it looks ridiculous and is clearly accomplished by incredibly obvious wires.
    • Every line spoken by Antonio Bandaras/Armand
    • Lestat dancing with Claudia's dead mother, which is clearly a dummy.
  • Retroactive Recognition: Mary Jane is a vampire?
  • Seinfeld Is Unfunny : Vampires aren't supernatural demons serving Hell, but people stuck in an existential crisis.
    • If you forget works of Polidori, LeFanu, Tolstoy, Stoker and Murnau and Herzog then, technically, yes.
      • At least two of the examples above are supernatural demons serving hell, though still manage to make interesting characters.
      • More like "Vampires aren't old world demonic aristocrats, but angsty New Orleans gentlemen."
  • What the Hell, Casting Agency?: Anne Rice took out full page newspaper ads criticizing the choice to cast Tom Cruise as Lestat (she had originally envisioned Rutger Hauer in the part).
    • The casting of Antonio Banderas as Armand, who is said to have auburn hair and was supposed to have been around 16 years old when he became a vampire.
