This week on Beyond The Box Set, John and Harry revisit the campy/scary delight that is Neil Jordan’s Interview With The Vampire. Join us as we discuss Tom Cruise’s magnificent scenery chewing, appreciate little Kirsten Dunst’s fierce post-mortem ringlet game and struggle to identify exactly what the plot of this movie is.

After waxing nostalgic for a while, we move on with our fantasy sequel pitches, including a Dark Universe crossover that stretches Harry’s celebrity impersonation skills to the limit, and an origin story that attempts to answer why celebrated vampire novels always seem to be written by bored housewives with no previous writing experience…

If you enjoy our Interview With The Vampire episode, hit subscribe for a regular dose of ludicrous fan fiction, and leave us a nice review so other listeners can find us as well. I mean, you don’t have to, but we’d really appreciate it if you did…
