[Horror Queers Podcast] Worshiping at the Altar of Grace Jones in ‘Vamp’ – Bloody Disgusting

Adventures in Babysitting.With Vampires

After spending the past few weeks discussing Chuck Russells 1988 remake ofThe Blob, the much-maligned 10th installment in theFriday the 13thfranchise (Jason X) and the punk-but-not-really slasher film The Ranger, were heading to New York to discuss Richard Wenks 1986 comedy horror filmVamp.

In the film, two pledges (Chris Makepeace and Robert Rusler) try to bring home a stripper to impress their future fraternity brothers. Their search takes them to the After Dark Club, which just so happens to be run by a tall, performance art stripper vampire (Grace Jones). Mayhem ensues.

Episode 66 Vamp (1986)

Were heading over to New York City (or is it Los Angeles?) to party it up with a vampiric Grace Jones in Richard Wenks 1986 comedy horror filmVamp! Joining us for the shindig is Cecil Baldwin, the narrator of Welcome to Night Vale!

Join us as Cecil educates us on the goings-on of 1980s New York City, which apparently is notactually filled with green and magenta lighting. We finally make our way to the emptiest strip club ever: the aptly named After Dark Club. While there, well chat with Dedee Pfeiffer (sister of Michelle) before being seduced by a Kabukid out Grace Jones and her hypnotic performance art striptease.

Well try to label all of the filmsVampis trying to be (Adventures in Babysitting, The Warriors, Fright Night,etc.), while commending the film for not making Gedde Watanabes Duncan a racist stereotype (even if the movie forgets about him after the first act).

Oh, and does Trace make yet another Lizzie McGuire connection? You betcha!

Cross outVamp!

Coming up on Wednesday: Its April Fools Day, which means were covering..April Fools Day(the 1986 slasher film, not the atrocious 2008 remake)! So grab your retractable knife and accept Muffy St. Johns invitation to her island mansion and get ready for a party to (not) die for.
