interview with the vampire was and still is one of my favourite movies of all time Lestat and Louie are my favourite vampires because they are portrayed as tragic creatures instead of evil bloodsucking monsters
I would agree with that I remember when it came out I freaking loved it Kristin dunce was such a good actress in a lot of movies back then that I liked
Agree! Growing up Vampire movies were always my favorite! Halloween,Vamp me up! I digress hahaha but that’s why I agree with you;like we get to see the torture soul of the Vampire…not all fun you think.
I read Interview at the age of 16 and never looked back on Anne Rice. I’ve read every single one of Anne Rice’s Vampire books. I’ve also read Sleeping Beauty series (hole crap! Amazing), Servant of the Bones, Cry to Heaven, The Feast of All Saints, Mayfair Witches, Jesus series, The Mummy, Ramses Series. I read a couple of her son’s book also, not bad, he shows promise, we’ll see. I remember reading the twilight series and thinking “what the hell?! These are NOT vampires!” Anne’s vampires are the gold standard and will always be. Louie is my favorite. When he finally leveled up the excitement I felt stayed with me for a long time. I really wish he’d been used more in the Chronicles. Thank you Anne, for all the hours of entertainment, enjoyment, and wonderment. For pulling me into the worlds you built. Yours was the first book I picked up and read because I wanted to, and not because I had to. I’ve never looked back, it’s because of you that 30yrs later I’m still an avid reader. Your passing was a devastating loss to the literary world. You’ll always be missed. Thank you for putting these videos together. I haven’t seen them all, but I intend to watch anything Vampire Chronicles you put out. I’m subscribed and I hit like on everything I’ve seen.
I discovered the "Claiming of Sleeping Beauty" when she still was writing under an alias....Mannnnn....Those books are sizzling, HOT!!!!!! I do not knock "50 Shades of Grey," but someone recommended it, and I immediately told them to reach for Beauty, and it changed their life....Uh, for good? Maybe not, but damn sure for better LOL
She wasn't okay writer but towards the end of her life she kind of became a piece of shit sorry for saying it but it's true She became super Christian and very anti-gay which is fucked up since her son is gay. The fact that her newer books were just crazy Christian ramblings She lost the point a long time ago unfortunately She used to be a good writer back in the '70s and '80s and early '90s.
Finally! Hahaha I always end up debating how “Twilight “ are not Vampies hahaha I grew up on Dracula true Vamp hahaha But, also I feel so lame that I’ve never read the books because all you wrote makes me like I’ve missed out!
I can only imagine the amount of time you put into this...I think this is your best video yet to be honest. Thank you for all you have done this year! I wish you and your family a happy holidays and a happy new year! Keep up the good work my friend.
Great video but a few errors. Magnus I think was much older than 300 years in fact he was almost a ancient by that time and ancient vampires like Magnus were forbidden to make fledglings because they are so powerful. Powerful ancients that made other vampires passed on much of their strength to their fledglings and thats partly why Lestat was so powerful and had many gifts. Now he got a lot stronger by drinking the blood of Marius and Akasha. For a vampire of only 2 or 3 hundred years Lestat was just as strong as some of the children of the millennium and after drinking from Akasha he was as powerful as vampires of the first brood. And I do not think Lestat was the most evil vampire and in fact as far as vampires go I think Lestat kept a lot of his humanity. Fascinating books and incredible lore IMHO. Great video. ;)
Yeah I think it's a stretch to call lestat the most evil. Hell one of the twins has been stealing mortal eyes for thousands of years. How many thousands of blind people has she created just to cure her own blindness? IMHO that's easily as evil as anything lestat has done..
"Forbidden" is a strong word. Vampires were loners and didn't have lots of rules between them. Stay out of each others way, no children, and don't kill your maker... I think they were careful about who and when they made fledglings, but the "rules" weren't in place until Prince Lestat when Marius tried. Totally agree with the rest of your reply :)
Yes also lestats's creation was quite a brutal ritual magnus did to him giving and draining him several times I believe that also contributed to his powerful gifts as a young vampire Magnus wanted to ensure lestat had all he could offer
Well, he hasn't covered the Talamasca, which he would need to do in order to do the Body Thief, that's at least another hour (or more). I can see why he'd just not cover it for that reason.
Cool how you clipped out marius finding lestat. It's ok I managed to find it on Part 1, and I didn't miss much. Awesome summaries! I can watch these for hours. Thanks!
Anne Rice is my favorite author. Her tales literally take you back into time and bring history to life. She is cleverly masterful with not only The Vampire Chronicles, but also The Mayfair Witches, intertwining both worlds flawlessly. I read the series every year or so, and I fall in love each and every time.
Thank you for doing this for us! I liked Cruise back then, and he was perfect for the role. Never saw the other movie as that should’ve never been made. I don’t remember even Gabrielle in the movie.. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤😈😈😈 Wolfkiller…….
@@musiclove5935 I would first start with reading the books it goes more depth than the actual movies or the TV series does. It will give you a better understanding of the character's and how they connect. Also you learn more about The Talamasca too.
Tom cruise is the best vampire I’ve ever seen, rivaling Gary Oldman as Dracula, and even surpassing it, vampire movies have never gone above what a 30 y/o film accomplished. Just bonkers.
Okay so I’m 19 minutes in and I’m right up to the spot where I’m at on the Anne rice series that brought me here so it only feels right to pause and come back after season 2 finale.
@@talkingback369 I just finished the second season it’s probably in top 3 for me now of tv shows but the second season was filled with every emotion on the spectrum! It keep me on the edge of my seat every week for at least an hour! I’m kinda lost right now haha but I’m rereading the queen of the dammed so maybe that will suffice for now.
If you are referring to the film queen of the damned it was played by a different actor tom cruise made a smart choice not to do that film stuart Townsend replace him
The books were amazing with 'Queen of the Damned' being the best! Have you read "The Necroscope" book series by Brian Lumley? For me, these are the best vampires ever written! Book 3: The Source is where you find out where the Wamphyri come from and how they live, so cool! Thanks for this great vid! Cheers 🥂
i'd really like it if someone crafted a book detailing each character's chronology over all the books, like as a reference. would be a great companion piece to the series.
Tom cruise did an amazing job in the movie adaptation which we all know should be kept separate from the books. I personally found Sam Reid to be how I pictured Lestat in my head. While the series was wildly different from the books I found Lestat’s character in the show to be mesmerizing.
MY FAVORITE VAMPIRE AND CHARACTER TOO! I never thought anyone would surpass "the big ape hirsute Slav" The Count in my mind but Lestat did! Sigh... I just love him to death! Lestat is ALWAYS in my mind! Thank you!
Finally caught this... There are some errors, but overall an interesting account! I do wish that you would have enjoyed Memnoch more as it is my personal favorite of the series.
Lestat's mother became cold and emotionally distant when she was turned. That's why Lestat didn't want turn Nikki. Lestat developed affection for Louis, but initially chose Louis bc he it was a convenient way to establish a new life in the new world while caring for his father.
I usually love ur videos but this one was just not good. It's a very choppy compilation. It's editing is very sloppy and 1 book wasn't even mentioned! I was so looking forward to this only to end up quite disappointed.
Anne Rice changed the story of Memnoch because she embraced her Christian Faith. She not longer felt the way she did before, thus the story changed. Her words; not mine. And frankly: I’m glad to see it.
Not sure if it was clear about when Akasha was beheaded . The huge glass window was shattered and If i remember correctly it happened by accident. When it happens it severs the Queen's head.
Well lestat Was never given a choice ever, not by his father, not by his brother,You're just you're gonna do this So I can see where and why he says I never had a choice cause he never did
I always have thought that Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt should have switched parts. I feel the aesthetic of Brad Pitt seemed more believable has unhinged and erratic where Tom Cruise doesn’t play unhinged as well, he is stronger playing calculating, scheming, planning parts.
In an interview with the Vampire Lestat, he was asked where he learned his superb dancing skills, to which he replied with the suave and smooth aplomb of Fred Astaire, "Arthur Murray." What is little known, and what Anne Rice left out of her chronicles for fear of harming her writing career is that shortly after Lestat was turned, he returned to the theater, and upon seeing an up-and-coming actor, and realizing how much he resembled him, Lestat murdered the soon-to-be Sir Henry Irving and took his place, and the rest is history. Is there any wonder that Bram Stoker was treated to such a fount of inspiration? Louis, however, still grieving for the loss of Claudia, and outraged at Lestat's return and notoriety, sets out to make his own mark, creates Fight Club. And, again, the rest is history.
One thing I’ve never understood, Lestat wasn’t going to inherit anything from his family so why would they have cared if he joined the brotherhood of mucks or became an actor. Did his father feel like it would have embarrassed the family or something
Okay am I missing something because there is only three books here but the title says one through five and where the hell is the tail of a body thief did it get taken down ? I am so confused where are the other books there's only three here
One thing that reminds me of the movie, is your mispronunciation of Lestat's name. The second "T" is silent. He is French. You pronounced his last name right though.
interview with the vampire was and still is one of my favourite movies of all time Lestat and Louie are my favourite vampires because they are portrayed as tragic creatures instead of evil bloodsucking monsters
I would agree with that I remember when it came out I freaking loved it Kristin dunce was such a good actress in a lot of movies back then that I liked
You would definitely Enjoy Vampire the masquerade
Ah if you like that you should read Blood and Gold (Maruis’s story) and The Vampire Armand. Both tragic as it gets. Great reads
Agree! Growing up Vampire movies were always my favorite! Halloween,Vamp me up! I digress hahaha but that’s why I agree with you;like we get to see the torture soul of the Vampire…not all fun you think.

Between 14.40 - 25.20 there are multiple skips in the script 😢
I came here to point this out as well… frustrating
Thank TH-cam for that..
Could literally make a long movie on what happened in those ten minutes!
Thanks for putting this out!
Really nice to have them all together and it shows how much work you've put into this series.
You really nailed it 👍👍

Lestat: "Screw the rules! I have money!"
No
What are rules
YTAS reference, nice~
I summon Blue Eyes White Dragon in attack position!
Screw the money I hate Tom Cruise!
all of tales of the body thief is missing, both from this video and the previous individual videos
Thank you. Why has nobody mentioned this?
Well, he hasn't covered the Talamasca, which he would need to do in order to do the Body Thief, that's at least another hour (or more). I can see why he'd just not cover it for that reason.

"Remember, Louis, life without me would be even MORE unbearable!" Lestat
You have done an amazing done on this! Thank you 😊
It's been so long since I've read those books. Good summery.
I want moreee! More please
I hope that someday you will to the story about Lestat crossing over to the Mayfair Witches too. Because one of his "children" was a Mayfair witch.
Please share more. Only saw a few episodes of Mayfair Witches…would love to know the connection.

"takes what blood he can from her without causing her wounds."
Nice job explaining that scene in TH-cam appropriate terms 😂
Lol right?! Decades later, and that scene just…lingers.
@@silver_crone yeah I was a fairly young teen when I read the book. I can still remember exactly where I was..
I really need to continue the vampire chronicles i have already read the vampire lestat and prince lestat
Last two books are solid, not spectacular. That probably applies more to Blood Communion than Realms of Atlantis
Where is tale of the body thief?
Hey there is a bad edit that cuts out some stuff at @14:45
This is the best recap I've seen on TH-cam, excellent work! Were's Tale of the Body Thief? Can't find the link
I appreciate how delicately and simply you address Dora's blood
Awesome!!!!
Good summary. Will you be covering the prince lestat trilogy as well?
Tom cruise is the best vampire I’ve ever seen, rivaling Gary Oldman as Dracula, and even surpassing it, vampire movies have never gone above what a 30 y/o film accomplished. Just bonkers.
Great Books 📚 👍🏿💯
Amazing video! Thanks for sharing!
Cheers from Brazil!
The Vampire Lestat is one of my top 5 favorite books and Lestat is by far my favorite character!!
I think the most recognizable vampire would be Dracula, not Lestat.
Okay so I’m 19 minutes in and I’m right up to the spot where I’m at on the Anne rice series that brought me here so it only feels right to pause and come back after season 2 finale.
How are you liking season 2 so far?

This is my favorite move and you recap it so well
Nice video, man. I never got to read the books, and they were so connected. Is lestat also the same guy in Queen of the damn? Wow
If you are referring to the film queen of the damned it was played by a different actor tom cruise made a smart choice not to do that film stuart Townsend replace him

You know you missed out Book 4 right?
I was thinking same thing
well done keep going
Has it been mentioned that there's a glitch in the video at 14:44 ?
There's multiple, even skipped over the entirety of book 4.
Thank you ✨
I love you and lestat sm😭♥♥♥
Lestat is one of my favorite Fictional vampires.
Do you know any real vampires ?
Lots of them in New Orleans. At least what our culture refers to as vampires.
Not the supernatural type.
I need more videos about true blood
i'd really like it if someone crafted a book detailing each character's chronology over all the books, like as a reference. would be a great companion piece to the series.
Been enjoying binge watching your videos wile being unwell. Very well done 😊
Am I missing something or did we skip tale of the body thief?
He did I was thinking i was crazy
Merry Christmas, you get Lestat
The last two second parts are so so fanfiction coded
Have to ask, have you watched the Mayfair Witches? I read those books a long time ago but was fairly impressed with the series.
Thank you❤️
FOUR HOURS AGO??? WHY, THANK YOU ❤
“The vampire Le Stat” is a badass book. Even Queen of the damned is good. Although I had many issues with the movie…Love Aaliyah’s performance though.
if lestat was part of the world of darkness he'd be an Anarch for sure.
Maybe even Sabbat
Yippie, one whole hour of lore (storytime)!
So the age of the Vampire that created you, determine how powerful you are 🤔
Yes.
Pure Awesomeness! New subscriber 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I’d love to see one covering Prince Lestat
14:40 what happened here? There's a chunk of video missing.

Can you please vampires in shadowhunters
Finally caught this... There are some errors, but overall an interesting account! I do wish that you would have enjoyed Memnoch more as it is my personal favorite of the series.
I noticed comicbooks in your video, do you know where i can find these to read them ? or what they are called? great video btw ! ty for that
I can tell youre from my time line cause you call it "interview with A vampire."
Great movie 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
14:45 Wait, what the hell was that?
Great movie Dean
Also cool/interesting video on Slughorn
As always see you whenever the next upload comes out
Did this video skip the body thief on purpose?
Yep, i've a whole separate video for that.
@@VampireFolkloreVideosOkay, great. I was really looking forward to hearing that one. Glad to know you do actually have a video on it✌🏼
i dont understand where is the tale of the body thief, great videos

Is Christmas today? Thank you!
58:14 No, he tells her he doesn't know if it was crushed or not

" Tell me again how bad I am , I love to hear it . "
Funny how le stat birthday adds up to 120 same as the number of years, or rather the same birth signature algorithm as Moshe.
Seeing as you’re a fan of Lestat, you may like to know that the second t in Lestat is silent, so it’s pronounced “Lesta”
Not sure if it was clear about when Akasha was beheaded . The huge glass window was shattered and If i remember correctly it happened by accident. When it happens it severs the Queen's head.
Long live Lestat !
No shit! Shared Birthday XD 🎉
I only read the first book, the rest is too nuts for me
So that chick he ended up in the movie is not canon? Never read the books and was surprised he went from Louis to her.😂
Nope in the book series lestat and Louis are endgame he and Jesse never met in the book version of queen of the damned
I’ve never read the books( going to change that) for anyone who has;do you think the series lives up to the books( accurate)?
Well lestat Was never given a choice ever, not by his father, not by his brother,You're just you're gonna do this So I can see where and why he says I never had a choice cause he never did
24:00 ish there is a major audio clip cut off point into the next audio clip
So sorry about that I had no idea
@VampireFolkloreVideos just letting you know! Excellent super cut so far! Really enjoying it!
What happens next
I always have thought that Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt should have switched parts. I feel the aesthetic of Brad Pitt seemed more believable has unhinged and erratic where Tom Cruise doesn’t play unhinged as well, he is stronger playing calculating, scheming, planning parts.
Just guessing, but at that time Brad Pitt was the sweet heart throb they probably didn’t want him to play such a dark character…but imagine
In an interview with the Vampire Lestat, he was asked where he learned his
superb dancing skills, to which he replied with the suave and smooth aplomb
of Fred Astaire, "Arthur Murray."
What is little known, and what Anne Rice left out of her chronicles for
fear of harming her writing career is that shortly after Lestat was turned,
he returned to the theater, and upon seeing an up-and-coming actor, and
realizing how much he resembled him, Lestat murdered the soon-to-be Sir
Henry Irving and took his place, and the rest is history. Is there any
wonder that Bram Stoker was treated to such a fount of inspiration?
Louis, however, still grieving for the loss of Claudia, and outraged at Lestat's
return and notoriety, sets out to make his own mark, creates Fight Club.
And, again, the rest is history.
Im curious to learn why you admire him.
memnoch the devil & tale of the body theif were surely written under severe intoxication istg
WHO OWN EVERYTHING DONT BITE ANYONE.
who are serpents wants to bite everyone. 😂
Anybody watch the AMC series.
Love it
I have! And am! Season 2 out now
Tom Cruise killed that role for lestat.
One thing I’ve never understood, Lestat wasn’t going to inherit anything from his family so why would they have cared if he joined the brotherhood of mucks or became an actor. Did his father feel like it would have embarrassed the family or something
First😭😭♥♥♥
Okay am I missing something because there is only three books here but the title says one through five and where the hell is the tail of a body thief did it get taken down ? I am so confused where are the other books there's only three here
I was confused at that as well
Yes the video is riddled with a bunch of odds cuts. Really confusing he skipped entire entry in the series.
Lestat you are the damnest creature
One thing that reminds me of the movie, is your mispronunciation of Lestat's name. The second "T" is silent. He is French. You pronounced his last name right though.
Is that it of Lestats story?
