    I'm a huge fan of dark period films. It makes you see a world that is too GLOOMY & LONESOME.


    Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein

    “Do you share my Madness?”


    This film actually tells us, that it’s not one’s physical appearance that makes him evil, but with how cruel people treat another that they make someone a monster.

    "I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe.”




    Mary Reilly
    This is another beautiful dark period film. I had a crush on John Malkovich.

    Is Evil Stronger than Good”


    I love how this film shows how one's sadness can bring out either the better or darker side of men.
    The depressing atmosphere, the filthy market & brothel.
    And even the seemingly lush mansion of Dr. Jekyll is filled with emptiness.

    "I wanted the night you see.. And here it is.."





    From Hell
    Almost all of us are fans of Johnny Depp. I’ve watched almost all of his movies.
    Brilliant acting from “The Libertine”.



    Powerful scene don't you think?
    But the film I loved most from Depp is “From Hell”. I can watch this over & over again.



    “I shall tell you where we are. We’re in the darkest region of the human brain, a radiant abyss where men go to find themselves.”


    My favorite scene would probably be the kiss.


    Its a very dark film, you can barely hear anyone talking inside the movie house.
    I was with my friend & sis, but I felt I was all alone in the movie house. It was just me & the film.
    That kiss was a relief from all the tension we were feeling from the movie.




    Interview with the vampire

    This is the best vampire movie for me (although 'The Lost Boys" was really good - a remembrance from childhood).



    Don’t you just wish to be in their shoes? Perfectly beautiful, mysterious, Immortal, & stands out without even trying. Yet despite all these, the truth of the matter is they are monsters & should not be adored.

    “Evil is a point of view. God kills indiscriminately, and so shall we.
    For no creatures under God are as we are; none so like him as ourselves.”



    “I have never seen a vision, nor learned a secret, that would damn or save my soul.”



    “No one could resist me, not even you.”



    I love the opening theme from "Interview with the Vampire", Elliot Goldenthal's 'Libera Me'; 'Libera Me, Domine, de morte aeterna'..

    Here's the English translation:

    “Deliver me, O Lord, from eternal death
    on that awful day
    when the heavens and earth shall be shaken
    and you shall come to judge the world by fire.
    I am seized with fear and trembling
    until the trial is at hand and the wrath to come:
    when the heavens and earth shall be shaken.”


    Another Favorite movie theme is from "Bram Stoker's Dracula", Annie Lennox's 'Love song
    for A Vampire". Although I terribly love the book, this movie I HATE so much!

    Oh loneliness, oh hopelessness
    To search the ends of time
    For there is in all the world
    No greater love than mine.”

    “Let me be the only one
    To keep you from the cold
    Now the floor of Hell is lain
    With stars of brightest gold
    They shine for you
    They burn for all to see
    Come into these arms again
    And set this spirit free”

    I checked the movies Vincent Price's did on IMD.com and unfortunately, "Edward Scissor Hands" & "The Ten Commandments" were the only films I know.

    The 'interrupted wedding night' was terribly shocking, I wasn't expecting the creature to ripped Elizabeth's heart out.

    The 1922 "Nosferatu" is the one I’m hoping to see. Silent films have a creepier feel, and for the fact that the actors on that film are already dead.
    I got even more interested about it after seeing "Shadow of the Vampire".

    Do you mean the old Nosferatu (the silent film) or the newer one? They're both great.

    The 'interrupted wedding night' scene in Frankenstein is one of my favorite movie moments EVER.

    Look into some of the old movies Vincent Price did, like Tomb of Lygia (sp?) and The Conqueror Worm. Great creepy 60s horror!

    haha! Why, who do they like? Antonio Banderas? Actually, Cruise's character was my favorite.
    Although I've seen Christopher Lee on various films, I'm only very much familiar of his LOTR's character.

    Interesting enough, I prefer the older version of "Dracula" starring Frank Langella more than the one with Keanu and company.
    Current favorite vampire-themed films are "the Breed" and both "Underworld" films.

    haha You finally blogged - and yet another Dark one (bravo!). We studied Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and watched Bram Stoker's Dracula (horrible movie - Keanu Reeves didn't save it) back in high school (years and years ago). Our teacher was..different, we spent a year learning about The Occult, watching said films, and reading Vampiric themed poems such as "Der Vampir" by Heinrich August Ossenfelder, The Bride of Corinth by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and many others. Might take out Interview with the Vampire tonight - feels devilishly suitable!
