Repost bc Reddit was really laggy yesterday for me.

Anyway, his name is Lucien and his pet barn owl is named Solaris (she's basically his owl daughter).

Beta Readers

Hi,
I finished the second draft of my YA vampire novel, which is about a drug that turns people into vampires. The story is similar to Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

I’m looking for feedback and was wondering if anyone in this Reddit would be interested in providing feedback for my novel.

It’s 70k words, and I’d prefer female beta readers since my protagonist is a teenage girl.

How were you introduced to vampires?

I was introduced to vampires through Batman vs Dracula when I was 11 or 12. This was during a huge superhero phase I had, but Batman vs Dracula introduced me to Dracula, and I became obsessed with vampires because I thought it was SO COOL. (I still like Batman vs Dracula. Watched it again recently and wondered why I was even allowed to watch it at 11 or 12-)

In 6th grade, I was in a haunted house for theater class, and was cast as a vampire, which only fueled my obsession with vampires.

I'm 19 now, and I still love vampires. Even my latest DND character is a vampire!

So, how were you introduced to vampires?

I've had a change of Heart on this one after a rewatch

I've definitely been too harsh on this film and alot of other Vampire films, Would you believe that this one has the highest rotten tomatoes score out of the three films? Yeah. Higher than Dracula 2000 and Dracula II: Ascension

I really like the ending, and the Transylvania setting is better for a Dracula movie instead of New Orleans like the first two entries.

I would have liked if Stephen Billington reprised the role of Dracula from Ascension, but I think Rutger Hauer is pretty good too. A very fun Vampire movie with a solid ending! 🩸🦇

The Lost Boys

Tonight my wife and I saw "The Lost Boys" on Broadway at the Palace Theatre. It’s based on the 1987 film directed by Joel Schumacher—never one of my favorite directors. I’ve always said that if you’re going to turn a movie into a musical, pick a bad one. Most would agree "The Lost Boys" is a safe distance from masterpiece territory.

This production has many of the usual big-musical problems: it’s too long, packed with weak songs, and suffers from bloated staging. At two hours and forty minutes, it could easily lose the intermission and trim about 25% from the songs to land closer to a tighter, two-hour show. The score is mostly bland and repetitive—though I’ll give it this: it has one and a half good songs, which is more than some musicals manage. Shoshana Bean delivers a genuine showstopper with “Wild” and is consistently strong throughout. What a set of pipes.

What you really come for, though, is the spectacle—and here the show delivers. The wire work is jaw-dropping, with up to five actors flying across the stage at once. The rigging was so well hidden I couldn’t spot it, although we were in the back of the theater (and I was looking).

I rarely recommend shows for kids—take a 12-year-old to "Death of a Salesman" and , as great as that show is, you’re in for a long night—but "The Lost Boys" is an exception. There’s enough substance to keep adults engaged, and enough razzle-dazzle to keep kids entertained, even if they squirm through the songs.

I know I did.

Do you guys believe in vampires?

Lately ive found myself being very interested in vampires. There are a few things that i know about them like they cant go out in the sun, cant eat garlic, cant enter a house without being invited in and a lot more. But i dont know if thats true or just myths. However i do think that vampires existed or are still there somewhere. Id like to know if you've ever come across one or do they interest you too.

Thoughts on vampires eating food?

What are yalls thoughts on vampires eating food other than blood? Personally I like the idea of them being able to eat food for the purpose of blending in with humans, but only being able to get real nourishment from blood.

My vampire teeth design

I went for a fusion of the nosferatu rodent-like teeth with the classic canines, I think it looks pretty good! What kind of teeth do your vampires have?
