Ya I get it because we def met the man in question PS with AMC+ the season finale came out last week, so if you want to be an episode ahead def consider subscribing for season 2

Why did you turn off the comment section of the video you made of Claudia? It was a beautiful video❤️

Made this vid before the finale

same

I just finished my first Merrick re-read yesterday and my, my, my, reading that diary entry and then her ghost saying all those things... :( Poor Louis..

Same. I’m having trouble getting used to the series. Probably bc I love the book, and absolutely LUV LUV LUV the movie,,,,so much so that it’s hard to see the new actors in the roles made famous by Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, and Kirsten Dunst.

The Mayfair Witches were my favorite books. I literally started jumping when I saw the first commercial for the upcoming Mayfair series!! It has been at least a decade since I read the books. I frantically looked for the 3 books in that series but could not find the first one. Waiting for Amazon to deliver it. I just have to read them all again before the TV series starts. I rather like how they've adapted Interview with the Vampire this time.

@@lauraporter6516 I’ve been looking for those books to read but can only get them in paperback all 3.

As long as they don't try to somehow bring the claiming of sleeping beauty series in I am ecstatic for any other series being woven in. Don't get me wrong I read them and they were good but getting them on anything but PH would take a very strange miracle.

Yeah, I believe so to. Considering the era in which he grew up had very limited scientific knowledge, not even Marius’s education would have taught him the risks of such an experiment. Then add the fact that the Children of Darkness that kidnapped him later on was a very wayward, superstitious and old fashioned cult he didn’t share the discoveries of the new age. I also vaguely recall some incident happen during Blood and Gold (unless I’ve mixed it up with an other series) where a vampire’s arm was re-attached successfully using his very own vampire-blood as glue. If that indeed did happen it’s possible Marius told Armand about it and that he was conducting the experiment on Claudia with that in mind. Considering how out of touch Armand was with the modern age and its discoveries in Queen of The Damned it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if he had at least a slim belief that that morbid surgery would be successful back in Interview. I also believe both Armand and Claudia were truly desperate at the time, Armand for companionship and Claudia for her freedom, which makes the theory all the more plausible.

@@estelle1783 Oui agreed. Some might think Armand was a "villain" but he's not ! And he was 17 y.o. when he was turned, so sometimes he can be a bit "immature" 😉

Yes exactly the timeline of the books does not match the timeline of the story

my thoughts exactly

Claudia explains it in the movie: "You have found your new companion, Louis. You will make me mine. Who will take care of me, my love, my dark angel, when you are gone?" She knows she's not strong enough to turn a human herself. And, as a child in body, alone, especially at night, she'd be immeasurably limited forever. How would she be able to call a taxi? How could she get into buildings, concerts, anywhere humans gather at night by herself? She must have a companion with an adult body at all times, or she can't survive.

If I'm not mistaken, it was the body of a human woman. During the events of the book "The Queen of the Damned", we see what happens when a vampire attempts to use the "organs" of a human when Maharet, a vampire who had her eyes removed prior to being turned, uses the eyes of her human victims. They deteriorate over time since their host is essentially dead. When a vampire is gifted body parts of other vampires, there seems to be no issue, as seen in the book "Blood and Gold" when Maharet later receives eyes from a vampire named Thorne that are compatible.

@@gabrielhamilton2880 I love this tidbit about Maharet. So brutal.

I make 25 the "coming-of-age" age for big things in my writing for that same reason.

Well a lot of vampire books I read like Brenda k Davies she has 2 types of vampires in her books purebreds who are born from 2 vampire’s and get to a certain age and just stop her main age for them to stop aging is in their 21-30 years and then the normal vamps. She makes these vampires more human like a slow heart beat still able to reproduce and etc.

doubt full they are changing some things but over all trying to stay true to the books out of respect for anne rice all the actors as well as the crew were fans of hers.

I'm sure you'll be happy 🤗 to find out your theory about Rashid/Armand proved correct with the airing the Season1 finally tonight!!

Same!

That’s due to some peoples ignorance, and world views; it’s a great show.. I feel the actors are outshining the movie. Le Stat is incredible in that role, Claudia is perfect, and Louis? Since Game Of Thrones he’s been an incredible actor.

Read the books... why rely on someone's view or opinion to entertain yourself??

I've heard many people speak positive about the show

@@DarkSideOfTheBrightSide So true ! I couldn't say it any better 👏👏👏. Don't get me wrong : I loved (and still love) the movie but I've always thought somehow the story was incomplete. Now with the tv series, we will have the whole story without "hiding" some points... And the cast is amazing, they bewitched me 😍

They did that because of the child labor laws in Louisiana and even movie Claudia is older than book Claudia

Loved the original Cruise/Pitt version but this one spins rings around it. Huge Saturn sized rings...

Everyone making excuses for this turd of a show. 😂 "I LOVE THE CHANGES... THE SHOWRUNNERS MADE THE BOOKS EVEN BETTER!!!" ... This is the sort of idiocy I've seen in regards to this trash woke show.

@@Fiveash-Art it’s a legitimately great show. And it is so bizarre that a fan of queer vampire novels is complaining about “woke”.

@@VanessaMartinez-vc7du The book's social commentary was more nuanced than the sort of propaganda this show and most of Hollywood is pushing now. The subtext about sexual relationships was there, but it didn't beat you over the head with it. Yeah, the show is 'woke' and it degrades the material. It's not the book ... they changed everything to push the agenda. Her vampires were A-sexual, their organs didn't work, so they didn't f *#k , their bonds were based solely on emotional, psychic bonds, and the blood lust. Yeah, she explored same sex relationships, no doubt, but it more subtle. I wouldn't necessarily call them 'queer vampire novels'. I never felt that way while reading them. It's a shame it's just turned into more political crap... there is no imagination there. Just another network tv show. It's a 'legitimately' bad show. 😂

True but it kind of lacks conviction to me since the actress doesn't look like she should grow much more lol. Which is understandable since Bailey was pretty much finished growing at the time of shooting this. so the effect is lost. The tragedy of Claudia and monstrosity of turning her was she literally couldn't do anything or go anywhere alone being stuck in a toddler's body. I dont think anyone would look strangely at this show's version of Claudia walking alone somewhere, in fact she does go on her own for a while when she runs away from Louis and Lestat. so this whole idea of her being stuck helpless in a child's body and prevented from normal life like she was in the books is sadly completely lost in the show.

@@Fiveash-Artsorry but your comment sounds a lot like “it’s social commentary when I like it and woke when I don’t”. So disingenuous

But the characters had bo knowledge within the timeline of the books. The Body Thief takes place in the late 20th century.

Louis may not know that Armand killed Claudia.

Did you read the book? If not, SPOILER! Louis and Armand traveled the world together after Claudia's death. After the interview Armand confessed to Louis that he'd been the one actually responsible for Claudia's death but Louis knew all along. I can't remember if he said why he still stayed with Armand but I think that he was afraid of being alone after not only losing Lestat but also Claudia. It looks like the show might take the story in the same direction (I hope they do), with the added possibility of Armand somehow controlling Louis or at least having messed with his memories (with or without his permission).

He does Harry Potter folklore too

Yes, the main reason that they say no Immortal children is because their minds outgrow their bodies and it drives them insane which causes them to get very sloppy and highly noticeable with their kills. The Veil of Secrecy around the vampires must remain intact. That's why the vampires wanted to kill Lestat so badly in The Vampire Lestat. He was revealing all their secrets. It's also why Lestat gets onto Louis for killing the alderman and the esquire. And why they both get onto Claudia after her killing spree that caused the police raid Vampires don't draw human attention to themselves. At the beginning of the show, the fevers are Lestat's kills but he makes it look like an epidemic

Just watched it last night! So Rashid was Armand all along

Me as well , I’m so ready for it ☺️

didn't see Armand but figured he was a vamp there were a bunch of clues

Thank you, nobody seems to have guessed that 🤣🤣

@@VampireFolkloreVideos Well I come from a time where common sense was common. Keep these videos coming. I ran into your stuff a week ago.

and we get about 12 seconds of screen time in QOTD

@@VampireFolkloreVideos ahhh yes and one speaking line 😩 everyone was done so dirty in that movie but I have to say the songs are the tits I love them so much

@@thevampirologist3054 Oui, the soundtrack is awesome 👍👍👍

The way I see it is that I consider the tv series as an alternative version of the novels, kind of a "multiverse" version 😉 (without Dr Strange and co 😋😂)

Nope I recorded it before I seen it

No I explained each characters mindset which led me to explaining the events in different parts

they take the rights so that they "can" do anything they want including not following the source material...

@@topperharley6070 how do you know it's garbage if you haven't watched?...you have a right to not embrace it or accept it, but to say that it's not a good show without actually viewing it is questionable....i initially decided not to watch it because i really didn't like the movie at all, and thought that would not like the show...but one evening, i decided to watch the show and i absolutely loved it...i just recently watched the movie again, and I actually liked that as well...

I see the tv series as an alternative version of the books, kind of a "multiverse" version. I've been a fan of the books for many years now, so before seeing the 1st teaser/trailer AMC released, I was skeptical about the changes, but after seeing the 1st teaser/trailer, I was bewitched 😍. You should give it a try, vraiment 😉

@@m-hm7917 I may, I'm just tired of Hollywood just rewriting over our favorites to cater to people. People like the story as is, and that's what makes fans keep watching. They want the book to come to life and when you mess with character looks it messes with the story

Well get over yourself it will continue to happen and you have the option to no longer support.

@@prettyxbonez96 I won't and I don't. It's cause of this identity politics that movies who do it fall flat on thier face

@@jessi2113 If you haven't watched it, you can't properly judge it.

Have you read Anne Rice's books? Because they're gay in them as well, so there's no need to pretend to be a fan if you're not one.

I disagree I think it’s fantastic

@@VampireFolkloreVideos I figured.

That's just your opinion because just because you don't like something doesn't mean everybody else does. I had your view and belief at first, but now I love this series so there's no need for your rudeness.

@@ashleyyoung6107 never once implied anyone had to not like it lol I don't care if you got bad taste or not hahaha don't go putting words in mouth though it's not lady like.

Absolutely ... It's tired identity politics wrapped up in a brand name they've completely defaced. It's total crap.

It's garbage ... I've been drunk watching it, stopped at the 4th or 5th .. I'm done with it. It's "woke" agenda has destroyed the story... It's not her book. They should've changed the names of the characters and just called it something else.

@@Fiveash-Art agreed 100%

@@Fiveash-Art lemme guess, you don’t like that Louie is black?

@@jimmyramos1989 Lemme guess, another person calling someone a racist because they don't like Hollywood's degradation of source material? 👍🏻.. Great work

@@Fiveash-Art “denigration of source material” translation you don’t like black people in fictional roles-you know in Shakespearian times men dressed up as women and acted their parts out. I bet you would scream “woke!”

It has a 99% critique score on rotten.. it’s in no way a flop

@@VampireFolkloreVideos Right the critics
