‘Anne Rice, Eat My Garlic Buttered Underpants!’

Something we’ve wanted to post up about but have held back as thanks to the last fortnight’s madness we knew damn well would get ignored in the face of all the shock horror stuff was the following jaw dropper over at Vidkid20’s Sim Lair, but with Interview With The Vampire currently doing the loop on the various film channels in the UK just now (isn’t it one of those strange films that improves with age? Still a pisser they never did The Vampire Lestat movie though – grrrr!) it’s the perfect time to let you know what Vidkid20’s come up with.

Check these little beauties out:

Louis de Pointe du Lac

Lestat de Lioncourt

and Claudia.

Now here they are after transformation into children of the night.

Question is, what’s Vid going to do with them now she’s made them and got them vamping it up?

‘Louis, I’m bored and hungry!’

‘Patience, Claudia. Once I’ve finished reading this chapter of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows we’ll all pop out for a quick bite.’

‘You still haven’t explained to me how you and Lestat managed to bring me back to life – er, back to undead! – after I was burned to ashes.’

‘Ah, my dear Claudia. What neither Armand nor Merrick could achieve with their knowledge, we managed to with the wonders of this modern age.’

‘Oh? What was that? Some sort of intricate occult ceremony that could only be performed with the moon, planets and stars precisely in the right conjunction?’

‘No Claudia, all that was required was an ounce of your ashes, a wine glass full of each of our blood…’

‘…that wouldn’t have been enough to resurrect me!’

‘It did when we mixed it altogether with a packet of new formula Figwit.’

‘So that’s why I keep wanting to suck the blood out of Bogong Moths?’

Vidkid20’s ideas you’ll be relieved to read are a bit more sensible than ours.

She’s also going to make an Armand, which will make for an interesting combo having the three of them living together in the likes of, say, Bridgeport (let’s face it, it’s a dead cert old Lestat wouldn’t be able to resist picking up his music career again, and you can guess how the rest would react to Ol’ Big ‘Ead’s ego going supernova again!) – although one of The Mare’s Nest team swears they’ve seen Armand fronting several of the bands that appear at the Whitby Music Festival down the years.
