Peter Fonda's best gig ever (he plays both Dr von Helsing and Dracula). David Lynch has a gem of a cameo as the desk clerk at the morgue. Filmed partly in Pixelvision to great effect; I recall there is theme music that goes with the Pixelvision scenes but I'm scared to rewatch the movie in case it doesn't measure up to my glorious memory of it. Heh. Soundtrack by Simon Fisher-Turner with tracks from My Bloody Valentine, Space Hog, and Portishead; and oddly The Verve (this was 3 years before they got big with 'Bittersweet Symphony' so why not something from Stone Roses, The Ride, or even Blur? I don't know)
I might make a retroactive soundtrack for this movie that DID exist but fell short of its potential....
p.s. the Cure 'Dressing Up' is great! I would have said 'Lullaby' because I always say Lullaby [grin] but 'Dressing Up' lyrics are much more apt. Nice. And ANYTHING by Cocteau Twins is always pertinent to everything (even if it's not off Music for Vampires). Agree immortality would be a nightmare - and if you want a non-fic somber tale of two people inextricably entwined who absolutely never should have been a couple in the first place, read a good biography of Ian Fleming and his wife Ann. OY.
well not for another 9 years.... until Nadja (1994)! https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110620/
