They released him, now if only they knew how to put him back. After releasing something they were not ready for, workers have to team up with a fighting father and son duo to figure out how to win this battle and put the evil back where it came from.

Interview with Filmmaker and Comic Artist Lia Scott Price [Women in Horror Month 2021]
Please introduce yourself.
My name is Lia Scott Price and I am the creator, filmmaker, author and artist of the vampire horror-action comic books and animation series called Vampire Guardian Angels.

I’ve also directed and acted in my Vampire Guardian Angel films.
The Bootleg Files: Castle of Doom
BOOTLEG FILES 759: “Castle of Doom” (mid-1930s re-edited version of Carl Theodor Dreyer’s “Vampyr”).

Blade (1998) [4K UHD/Blu-Ray/Digital]
Stephen Norrington’s 1998 adaptation of the comic book “Blade” is a movie that’s often overlooked and or ignored as one of the comic book movie hits that broke ground. While it was never as mainstream as “X-Men” or “Spider-Man” it was a hit movie starring an African American hero, with an R rating. And while it hasn’t aged quite well since its initial release (it’s aged about as well as “X2,” which is good and terrible), it’s still a trailblazer worth seeking out right this second.
