“Old Head”

“Not one that’s gonna blow your balls off, but it’s probably hard to do that with a vampire story at this point, right? Still, pretty fun, and it follows the basic rule of setting up a character and then the character does in-character things that contribute to the ending. I know that sounds like a low bar, but I’ve been watching some terrible movies lately, so even basic storytelling is pretty life-affirming at this point.

How COULD you blow someone’s balls off with a vampire story? I’m not totally sure. Maybe the vampire would have to…basically be in a Franzen novel but also be a vampire? Show up in the middle of a Nicolas Sparks book unexpectedly? I don’t know if there’s much unexplored territory outside of the idea of doing something mundane but with vampires instead. Vampire Golden Girls?
