Before John Carpenter became a professional gamer and part-time composer for Blumhouse, he made movies! One of them was Vampire$, starring Family Guy character James Woods. After a string of unfortunate bombs from Village of the Damned to Escape from L.A., Vampire$ was Carpenter's first profitable film of the '90s. But it also signaled the end of his heyday and left his fans feeling cold.
That was then. Years later, some have embraced Vampire$ as Carpenter's swan song, while others still take it as a fall from grace. Gabe and Connor reevaluate this flick and ask: why were there so many Vampire Westerns in the '90s? Is James Woods crazier in this movie or in real life? Most importantly, does John Carpenter's Vampire$ have any bite left?
