Latest / The Art of Costume Podcast / Interview with the Vampire with Dan White
Transcript
- 0:00Hi friends, This is Spencer Williams, cohost and producer of
- 0:05the Art of Costume Podcast. The episode you're about to
- 0:08listen to was recorded in recent weeks before we learned of the
- 0:12tragic news of the passing of our dear friend, costume
- 0:16designer Shawna Terpsic. Before we begin this week's
- 0:20episode, I just want to read part of a statement from
- 0:22Shawna's family and say a few personal words about our friend
- 0:26who will be missed so dearly. 1st for the Statement Born in
- 0:30Artesia, CA, Shawna want to be a truck driver in high school but
- 0:34had an art teacher who wanted her to be an artist.
- 0:38He inspired her to attend Otis College of Art and Design for
- 0:41fashion and in her senior year she worked on Bob Mackey's team.
- 0:45Shawna got her start illustrating for Albert Wolski
- 0:48on the Oscar winning film Bugsy and then became his assistant on
- 0:52Barry Levinson's film Toys. She was soon designing her own
- 0:56films and shows such as Angel, The Cabin in the Woods, Mighty
- 1:00Morphin Power Rangers and so much more.
- 1:03She worked for Jill O'hannison as assistant costume designer on
- 1:07a pilot of Firefly and eventually took over to show.
- 1:10As the story goes, a Firefly fan who worked at Skywalker Ranch
- 1:14asked Shawna if she would like a tour, and that's where she met
- 1:17George Lucas. 15 years later, she received a call to design
- 1:21The Mandalorian, fulfilling a lifelong dream to design for
- 1:25Star Wars. She then went on to design the
- 1:28costumes for The Book of Boba Fett and Asoka, earning multiple
- 1:32Emmy nominations and A/C DG Award.
- 1:36And now for a few personal words, Shawna Terpsic had one of
- 1:40the brightest, most beautiful souls you can imagine.
- 1:43Over the past couple of years, Shawna and I became friends both
- 1:46on and off camera, doing several interviews together regarding
- 1:50her impressive career, specifically with Star Wars and
- 1:54occasional Power Ranger story. If I could sneak it in, you all
- 1:58got to hear a couple of those interviews on a podcast talking
- 2:00about the book of Boba Fett and The Mandalorian, and we also
- 2:04were in the midst of discussing future plans that have Shawna on
- 2:07again very soon to talk about Asoka Firefly, and she didn't
- 2:12notice. But I was also working on a
- 2:14Power Rangers piece as well, that those fortunate enough to
- 2:18known Shawna will test her passion, kindness, enthusiasm,
- 2:23boundless inspiration, unwavering positivity, and
- 2:27limitless love. Shawna loved what she did, and
- 2:30you could feel it in the way she spoke.
- 2:33The opportunity to design costumes for projects like The
- 2:36Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, and Asoka was a dream come
- 2:41true for her. In many ways, I believe Shawna's
- 2:44passion inspired not only me, like countless others, to pursue
- 2:48their own dreams and life. Every time Shawna and I spoke,
- 2:52she made a point to highlight three things.
- 2:55Her deep admiration for generous fan community whom she loved so
- 2:59dearly and you could see it when they would interact in person.
- 3:03Her incredible crews, whom she credited as a true architects of
- 3:06the magic we saw on screen, and her two beloved children who
- 3:10motivated her to be the best mother and designer she could
- 3:14be. On behalf of the art of costume
- 3:17team myself, Elizabeth and Daniel, our heartfelt love and
- 3:22condolences go out to Shawna's friends, family, her
- 3:25exceptionally talented crew, fans, and of course her two
- 3:29children Joseph and Sarah. Shawna was just the best and I'm
- 3:34having a difficult time believing she is gone.
- 3:37But I will forever cherish our conversations, meanings and
- 3:41random emails, Dms fangirling about our nerdy scifi things.
- 3:46Shawna Terpsic was a hero of mine, truly one-of-a-kind, and I
- 3:53already miss her terribly. With that being said, a fund has
- 3:57been created on behalf of her children.

- 6:52The leaves are dying. The Black Cats are walking
- 6:56around the streets. You know, everything is getting
- 6:58dark and gloomy, and I'm just so glad summer's finally over.
- 7:01I love that the Black Cats are walking around.
- 7:03Yeah, they come out of hibernation at the end of
- 7:05summer. Yeah.
- 7:07I live with one so it terrorizes us all the time anyways.
- 7:10Right. I mean, we could actually kind
- 7:12of see one in the background. The audience can't, but I see
- 7:15one. Yeah.
- 7:20Have you guys been watching any scary movies?
- 7:22Not yet, but no. Chloe's in the mood, so I think
- 7:27we're gonna kick that off this weekend or next, yeah.
- 7:30I have a list, so gonna see what I'm gonna watch first, right?
- 7:35It'll probably be practical magic cuz I just keep thinking
- 7:39about it. And I've never seen that.
- 7:42It's so good. You.
- 7:43I love it, Daniel. Yeah, I'll write it down.
- 7:47I feel like I started early. I've already watched.
- 7:49Well, we're about to talk about one of the movies, but I watched
- 7:53The Last Voyage of the Demeter. I'm getting ready to watch.
- 7:57I'm Stoker's Dracula again. Outfitting, right?
- 8:02Lots of vampires. What else did I watch?
- 8:05Oh, I've been watching Sweeney Todd.
- 8:06I have been watching Phantom of the Opera again.
- 8:10Elizabeth, you really got me hooked on it last.
- 8:12Year. I think it.
- 8:13Was last year? And I just, yeah, I've been
- 8:17listening to the album again. I know it's not really like a
- 8:19Halloween movie, but it's just this is the time of year to
- 8:22watch. Live though, Yeah.
- 8:28But let's get into today's film. Elizabeth.
- 8:31Daniel, What are we watching? We are watching Interview with a
- 8:35Vampire. I'm so excited.
- 8:38This is actually the first time I've actually.
- 8:41I finished a movie. I would say it's just crazy.
- 8:45Yeah. I feel like I've, I've watched
- 8:48Interview of a Vampire I think 3 different times and I always
- 8:52fall asleep. Yeah.
- 8:54Shame on you. I know.
- 8:55So I finally sat down and watched it, and now I'm obsessed
- 8:58with it. Daniel, this is one of your
- 8:59favorites, right? That's one of them.
- 9:02I love vampires, so all this kind of stuff, especially like
- 9:05the classic vampires, Yeah, so this is this is up there.
- 9:10Yeah, I for me it is also my first time watching it all the
- 9:14way through because I I too fell asleep the first time I watched
- 9:20it. And this is 1 only two movies
- 9:23I've ever done that with so. Well, that's not good.
- 9:29I was very excited. I was gonna be like, okay, what
- 9:33did I miss? This feels like a very Elizabeth
- 9:37coded movie. You would think that she's seen
- 9:39this 1000 times. That's what I thought.
- 9:41That's, you know, I can see why you think that.
- 9:45You're trying to be mysterious and just keep us guessing, I
- 9:49guess. Yeah, exactly.
- 9:51I will say though, watching this made me appreciate Tom Cruise as
- 9:55an actor more, because it's one of the few things I've seen him
- 10:01in where he's not being like. Like a secret agent, like super,
- 10:07like, actiony man. And I was like, Oh my gosh, Tom
- 10:10Cruise, so much range you. Know what I'll I'll accept that
- 10:15I did a little bit more. Be like, OK, I guess Tom Cruise
- 10:19is cool in this UM. Yeah, because I've never been a
- 10:21Tom Cruise fan. But yeah, he was great in this
- 10:24UM. For me, it was Brad Pitt.
- 10:26I mean just one of the best of the best.
- 10:29Yes. So gorgeous too, in the 90s.
- 10:34Yeah, I that honestly, that was one of the reasons I was excited
- 10:38to watch. It was for.
- 10:40Brad Pitt, I also, I don't know how I forget, got though that
- 10:48Antonio Banderas was in this until he popped up on screen.
- 10:51I was like, Oh yeah. Yeah, that caught me off guard.
- 10:54And actually, when we talked about later, I've remembered
- 10:56something funny about that reminds me of Daniel.
- 10:59But I'll save that for later, OK?
- 11:04All right. Daniel Are you a Brad Pitt or a
- 11:07Tom Cruise person? Personally, I'm a Tom Cruise.
- 11:11Really. I.
- 11:11Like the Mission Impossible movies, don't you?
- 11:14No. No, no.
- 11:16I mean, those are some of them are good, but like he does other
- 11:20movies where he's not like an action person.
- 11:23Well, yeah, before like the year 2000.
- 11:26He's he's actually like a really good actor.
- 11:29You know, personal life questionable, but acting life
- 11:33really good. Yeah, for sure.
- 11:36The only movie that sticks out to me is War of the Worlds,
- 11:40which that movie still freaks me out to this day.
- 11:43My personal favorite is The Last Samurai.
- 11:46That one's good. Oh yeah, yeah.
- 11:49I got the Last Samurai I. Don't think I've seen that.
- 11:52That that's pretty good. I saw it as like a kid, so I
- 11:55don't remember much. Vanilla Sky is the one that's
- 11:59like one of my top movies. Vanilla Sky.
- 12:03I don't think you've even heard of that.
- 12:05Yeah, a little old, but still like a solid movie.
- 12:08Kind of trippy. Okay.
- 12:11Well, we'll put that on the list.
- 12:12Maybe that'll be next year's appearance.
- 12:16Well, let's get into Interview with the Vampire.
- 12:20What a fun, crazy, beautiful movie.
- 12:23Elizabeth, do you want to start us off with a summary?
- 12:26Yes. Louis, a 200 year old vampire,
- 12:31is telling his story to an eager biographer.
- 12:34Suicidal after the death of his family, he meets Lestat, a
- 12:38vampire who persuades him to choose immortality over death
- 12:44and become his companion. Eventually, gentle Louise
- 12:48resolves to leave his violent maker, but Lestat guilts him
- 12:52into staying by turning a young girl.
- 12:54Whose addition to the family breeds even more conflict.
- 13:00Very messy. Such a messy family movie.
- 13:02Yes. Absolutely.
- 13:07Well, let's go. Behind the costumes we have
- 13:10director Neil Jordan and costume designer and actual legend,
- 13:15someone. I don't even know if we've done
- 13:16one of her movies. We.
- 13:18Were talking. About I was checking.
- 13:20Right. It's so crazy.
- 13:21We are talking about Sandy Powell the GOAT.
- 13:26Seriously, she has done. So much, and looking at her
- 13:29notable work, I don't think I've seen this much Academy nominated
- 13:33work. Don't think I even put on all
- 13:35her Academy nominations. Well, let's start.
- 13:38We have Orlando, for which she was nominated for an Oscar.
- 13:42Shakespeare in Love, which was an Oscar win.
- 13:44Gangs of New York an Oscar nomination.
- 13:47The Aviator Oscar win. I'm getting exhausted already.
- 13:51The other Boleyn girl. The Young Victoria, which was an
- 13:55Oscar win. The Tempest Oscar nomination.
- 13:58Hugo Oscar nomination. The Wolf of Wall Street
- 14:01Cinderella which was a Oscar nomination.
- 14:04Carol an Oscar nomination. The favorite Oscar nomination
- 14:10still going, Mary Poppins returns Oscar nomination and I
- 14:15think probably most recently The Irishman which was another Oscar
- 14:19nomination. So.
- 14:21Sandy Powell does not mess around when it comes to
- 14:24costumes. And it blows my mind that
- 14:27Interview with the Vampire was not nominated for an Oscar.
- 14:32Out of all the films, we just said interview with the
- 14:34vampires, not one of them. I I think if this same exact
- 14:38movie was released today, it absolutely would.
- 14:42That's so funny because I was thinking that last night.
- 14:45You know vampires are back in trend.
- 14:47Absolutely. I think in the 90s people were
- 14:50just being a little, little stuck up about it.
- 14:54Yeah, it was when they saw Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise in the wig
- 14:57star like they can't be. But no, I agree with you.
- 15:01If this movie were to have come out, I don't know say like two
- 15:03years ago when it was like Kerella and Dune.
- 15:07And I definitely feel like Interview with the Vampire would
- 15:11have stood out amongst those and been nominated for sure.
- 15:14It. Honestly still holds up.
- 15:16Yeah, yeah, it's. This is a master class in like
- 15:20period costumes for sure. Absolutely it it is excellent.
- 15:25Well, so this is one of those movies.
- 15:27We're probably going along with what we were just saying.
- 15:30There's not a whole lot of information.
- 15:32So we're going to take a break. And when we come back, we're
- 15:35going to dive into the many different stages of Louie and
- 15:39Lestat's life and talk about the many costumes that we see and
- 15:42just talk about our favorites, since, you know, we.
- 15:45Don't have a lot of info from the GOAT herself, but Sandy
- 15:49Powell, if you're listening, our doors are very wide open, yeah.
- 15:54We need the info, yeah. You can move in rent free for
- 15:58all I care. If you want to write a whole
- 16:01book about your costumes for this movie, we'll support you.
- 16:04Yeah, we'll do the audio book and everything.
- 16:07Yes, please. All right, let's take a break.
- 16:38OK, are you guys ready to dive into some sexy vampire costumes?
- 16:47Well, the film starts with a very sad Louie and he's going
- 16:52through it after his wife died. And quickly this movie gets
- 16:56going when we see Louis meet Lesta.
- 16:59And I just have to say, the both of them, I think they're
- 17:03actually vampires. They look especially Brad Pitt.
- 17:06No, both of them. They look exactly the same
- 17:09today. They have definitely aged well.
- 17:14I Who are we saying we're a replicant?
- 17:18Was a replicant. Was that?
- 17:20That was Paul Redd. Paul Redd, I think they might be
- 17:22in the same category. Like has definitely aged, but
- 17:26not enough for you to be like, Oh yeah, it's been.
- 17:30Almost 30 years because this movie came out the year I was
- 17:33born. So this movie is 29 years old.
- 17:39That's so true, yeah. They're both.
- 17:42They look like replicants have just have had like a little bit
- 17:44of wear and tear, you know? But I love them at first, so I I
- 17:51don't know why I did not realize this movie started in like
- 17:54prerevolutionary America. I always thought it started in
- 18:01like the Victorian era, but then I was like, how did I mess that
- 18:05up? Because the clothes are so like
- 18:09late 1700s, like very reminiscent of like like what
- 18:16Lista is wearing. I'm like, did he just come from
- 18:18the French court? Like, did Marie Antoinette give
- 18:21him like a really nice suit? This looks like incredible.
- 18:26Yeah, it feels correct me if I'm wrong, but it feels like Lestat
- 18:30is like his aesthetic tends to look gaudy.
- 18:35Yeah, yeah. Cuz I think lestat is from
- 18:38France, correct? Yeah, he's from Paris I.
- 18:40Think Yeah, So he probably brought over that.
- 18:43Yeah, and you know, definitely he's been a vampire a lot longer
- 18:47than, well, I mean, Louie's getting turned as we speak, so
- 18:51Lestat's been a vampire for a little bit longer and I just
- 18:54love the idea. I hate to compare what we know
- 18:57from like what we do in the shadows, but they're very like,
- 19:02in ways I feel like the stats very stuck in, like where he
- 19:05came from, you know, when he became a vampire.
- 19:08So, like, he's still kind of caring.
- 19:10He's trying to blend into this Louisiana society, but he's
- 19:15still very much like that French lista at the same time.
- 19:19Which is actually one of the themes that Antonio Banderas's
- 19:23character kind of points out later.
- 19:25Yeah, yeah, yeah. See, Brad Pitt's though, I feel
- 19:29like his outfit looks very costume house rented, doesn't
- 19:34it? He's definitely like, I would
- 19:36say, I mean, he's working. Well, he's not working.
- 19:38He owns a plantation, right. So he's very, I don't know,
- 19:44he's, he has money, but he's going through it with the death
- 19:47of his wife. So I feel like he's just kind of
- 19:50a little bit more dressed down and kind of.
- 19:54His hands are dirty, but not really because he has slaves
- 19:57doing it for him. But so I think he's a little bit
- 20:01more dressed down for sure. Yeah, absolutely.
- 20:04He's definitely not up to the The Granger of Lestat.
- 20:09Until he gets it to his very new relationship with Lestat, and
- 20:13suddenly he just he's looking good.
- 20:21Yeah, they both. Kind of.
- 20:23I would say Louie really just dives right in and just
- 20:26definitely amps up his costumes, his persona, his character.
- 20:30He's trying to see if he could love this new life he has, but
- 20:35it's definitely not easy for him.
- 20:38I love the scene where Louie and let's not go to that party and
- 20:42everyone is very gaudy. I would say very it's like old,
- 20:47very French. That Lady with the dogs, is that
- 20:51cool? Yeah, I think so.
- 20:52This reminded? Have you ever watched Dangerous
- 20:55Liaison? No.
- 20:57Gosh, this whole scene reminded me of that movie.
- 21:01Just like the way everyone's dressed to the nines, cuz like
- 21:04everyone is like over the top in that movie.
- 21:08And it's amazing. And this reminded me of that so
- 21:11much, particularly her dress, which is all the embellishment
- 21:16on it in the world. All of the yeah, there's like
- 21:19gold bows on the front. There's bows here.
- 21:22The yellow velvet is just her golden velvet is so strong.
- 21:27Over the top lacing, yeah. Over the top, very everything
- 21:31you could tell that this lady is.
- 21:34Definitely has a little bit of money behind her.
- 21:36Yeah, it's almost like out of a painting, yeah.
- 21:39Yeah, Oh yeah, that's a good way to put it.
- 21:41The colors are so great and we're looking at a picture and I
- 21:45never noticed. Let's stop before.
- 21:47Just like staring down her. Like, I don't want to say
- 21:50bodyguard, but like Handler. Yeah, looking at him like the
- 21:54tasty little snack that he is, he's definitely like, we're
- 22:00going to, we're going to have a good night tonight.
- 22:03Man, so scary. Very comfortable.
- 22:07I do love, though, like, so Louise, like so much more
- 22:11dressed up now. But he's still like, let's stat.
- 22:14I'm not going with all this embroidery, like all this
- 22:17velvet. He's still, like, much simpler
- 22:20because he's just not as flashy as let's stat.
- 22:23Right. Yeah.
- 22:24He's like, I'm not, he's been a vampire for like a few weeks or
- 22:27something. Like I'm not going to jump.
- 22:30Right into your crazy wardrobe, but it's definitely happening a
- 22:32little bit. Lesta is very controlling,
- 22:35trying to control his image, as we'll see a little bit later on
- 22:39with some other characters, yes. Such a healthy relationship, I
- 22:45would say definitely, yeah. Sarcasm.
- 22:49Very abusive as we talk about Let's Stat though Sandy Powell.
- 22:57This is literally the only piece of information we are able to
- 23:02find from Sandy Powell. Marie Claire quotes her as
- 23:06saying Interview with a Vampire travels through time, so I got
- 23:12the opportunity to address Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt and many
- 23:15different looks, but this costume is pretty much accurate
- 23:21for the 18th century period, referring to the blue ensemble
- 23:26he has when the house is burning down.
- 23:28Tom's character, Lestat was meant to be handsome and
- 23:32charismatic, so I always dressed him expensively and up to date.
- 23:38His shirt is particularly volumous to give that air of
- 23:43romanticism. Interesting.
- 23:46Interesting. So, compared to everyone else,
- 23:49he's dressed better than like most wealthy people.
- 23:52So he stands out even amongst them.
- 23:54Yeah, interesting. Yeah, it's you see Lestat in the
- 23:58room and instantly you're just kind of taken by him, which is
- 24:01part of his evil, devious plan for some late night snacks.
- 24:09I love, I love Lestat in the blue.
- 24:11I think it's it looks really good on him and he does always
- 24:14stand out. And I get what she means about
- 24:16like that era of Romanticism, because he does kind of remind
- 24:20me of like a character you'd read about and like a romantic
- 24:24novel. Not that I've read any, but this
- 24:27is kind of what I would picture what they look like.
- 24:32Not that I've read any, but. You know, I don't read romance
- 24:37novels. One thing that caught me off
- 24:43guard was that Tammy Newton was in this film.
- 24:46What was Tandy Newton? Yeah, that really blew me away.
- 24:51One of my faves from Westworld Norbit.
- 24:54For all those who know. Oh my gosh.
- 24:58She's like, so young and like sweet little baby Tandy Newton,
- 25:02who was crazy. Wow.
- 25:03Oh my gosh. Did not put that together.
- 25:06Daniel was like, I don't know who that is.
- 25:07Yeah, I have no idea. She's brilliant.
- 25:12She did such a good job in this too.
- 25:14I know, yeah, she she definitely should have had a little bit
- 25:17more of a people should put some more respect on her name in this
- 25:20film because she carries it. So Louie sets his house on fire,
- 25:24which is very sad because it was such a nice house.
- 25:27But they end up moving to New Orleans and Louie's going
- 25:30through it. He's feeling all the all the
- 25:33fields. And Lestat was like, don't go.
- 25:37I know we'll help you. Here's a new child and very
- 25:41messy. Which intros Claudia, which was
- 25:46crazy to see a young Kirsten Dunst.
- 25:48She is like actually a child in this.
- 25:50She is so young and I also love how they they move kind of
- 25:55seamlessly from like decade to decade because this is like you
- 26:00can tell from her clothes this is about like Regency era, so
- 26:03probably like the 19 tens, 20s and they just do it very
- 26:08seamlessly like it's not a big shock every time they change
- 26:12decades or styles. Yeah, it's a very creepy because
- 26:18let's start he, you know, we've talked about how he likes to
- 26:22collect people and control people and you see it the most
- 26:25with Claudia, because yes. She is essentially like his
- 26:30porcelain doll. The hair is very big and curly
- 26:36like a doll. She's wearing that like hat with
- 26:39the tie around her neck, which reminds you of like a little Bo
- 26:42peep moment. It's a little bonnet.
- 26:45Yeah, it's very creepy. She looks beautiful, of course,
- 26:49but it's just creepy. And also notice the color she's
- 26:52wearing almost consistently during the time of Lestat is
- 26:56blue his favorite? I think it's because Lestat
- 26:59turned her. Yeah, and then the the one that
- 27:03becomes Claudia's mother is green, which I believe Louie
- 27:08wears a lot of green. Yeah, yeah.
- 27:11So I think it's like a playoff of that.
- 27:14Hmm, that's interesting. Yeah, Louie does wear a lot of
- 27:17green. Like dark dark greens most of
- 27:20the time. So I think it has to do with
- 27:22like that kind of theme. It would suck to be a child
- 27:26Vampire wouldn't. It yeah, like that would not be
- 27:32fun. Like, no wonder she has so many
- 27:35issues. Yeah, she's what she's like 30
- 27:38year old, 30 years old at one point.
- 27:41And she still looks like she's, you know, 11.
- 27:44She's like, what is wrong with me?
- 27:46And it's like. Oh, I just remembered the part
- 27:53where Lestat was dancing around with Claudia's dead mom.
- 27:57That was a lot that was horrifying.
- 27:59That was not cute. That there's some images that
- 28:05just stay in your head after a movie.
- 28:06That was one of them for me, yeah.
- 28:12But yeah, just seen the three of them together as a transition
- 28:15into this, like new New Orleans life, I would say that it.
- 28:20It's kind of interesting how Lestat really did kind of change
- 28:24his costumes once again, because now he's a little bit more
- 28:27appropriate for the era, feels a little bit more gentleman.
- 28:31The E Dapper with the top hats. It's it's convincing.
- 28:37So he's actually doing a pretty good job at it.
- 28:40And Louis just looks great as always.
- 28:43I love there's the one scene where they're just walking
- 28:45together through the streets, seeing the three of them.
- 28:48And they look great. Yeah, they do make like as like
- 28:53a three person unit. It's like they do coordinate and
- 28:56dress quite well together. Daniel, I feel like this would
- 29:03be like a perfect era for you. I can imagine you.
- 29:05And like, the coat and the top hat.
- 29:08Yeah, those shirts too. With the little shirts, Yeah,
- 29:13this is definitely a bot. Hell yeah.
- 29:17Very you, Daniel. But Claudia really gets
- 29:23frustrated being a permanent little girl and she and let's
- 29:29not get into some bickering which ends with.
- 29:33The stop basically gained his throat, ripped open, bleeding
- 29:35all over the floor and gained carried to the swamps of New
- 29:39Orleans and gained dumped into the swamp and turned into gazer
- 29:43food. Claudia.
- 29:44Yes, I was so excited for her. In that moment.
- 29:49I was like, girl, you take control of your life.
- 29:54Daniel, I want to say this the moment where we see let's stop
- 29:58bleeding out on the floor. Do you know what that image
- 30:01reminded me of almost immediately?
- 30:03Resident Evil it just. Yeah, that's a good one.
- 30:07Yeah, he looks just like the icon.
- 30:09There's like iconic scene in like the first Resident Evil
- 30:12where you see like this. The zombie for the first time.
- 30:15Yeah, that that is less. That's for all the nerds out
- 30:18there. All two of you there listening
- 30:20to the podcast who play Resident Evil.
- 30:23But I think my favorite costumes were the ones that Louie and
- 30:28Claudia wear to the swamp, because they're rainbows, like
- 30:32swampy greens. I love like a Louisiana swamp
- 30:36for some reason, and they just like blend into it so perfectly
- 30:41with the greens. Mmhmm.
- 30:42Claudia's wearing some pinks underneath, but there's still a
- 30:45little bit of blue. She's still Lasat's perfect
- 30:49little doll. I feel like the green cloak is
- 30:51supposed to be like representation of Louis
- 30:55protecting her or something. Yeah, that's a good way to.
- 30:58Put There's also, like, a really good use of white, white
- 31:01clothing. Yeah.
- 31:02Because like, every time a vampire goes for the kill,
- 31:06they're still, even though they're wearing white, it's
- 31:08always, like, pristine. Clean, no marks, no nothing.
- 31:12And like, you know, red really shows well on, yeah, on like
- 31:16white clothing. So like you can see on Louie
- 31:20when he gets his throat chopped off, yeah, it just lends so
- 31:24well. And wearing white to like a
- 31:28nasty swamp is such a such a flex.
- 31:33Yeah, yeah, for him to live this choice.
- 31:37Yeah, that's actually one of the best parts because like, you
- 31:40know, you always talk about like loving, distressing.
- 31:44I feel like Lestat throughout this whole movie from this point
- 31:48on is just nothing but like a distressed to distress to
- 31:52distressed version of like himself and that like, that's
- 31:56like the best part of this movie.
- 31:58He never fully recovers from being Gator food, and that
- 32:01really has like an impact on your mental and physical health.
- 32:10Which proves Daniel's very right on, because as we get back to
- 32:14the house, Lestat shows back up and is playing the piano.
- 32:18Which is interesting because when he's playing the piano, I
- 32:20believe it's the same exact outfit, obviously, that he was
- 32:23wearing last time he was playing the piano.
- 32:26So it's like seeing. It's just to compare and
- 32:29contrast is so great, very creepy.
- 32:32The makeup and prosthetics are. Perfect.
- 32:36Yeah. This is like one of my favorite
- 32:38scenes. It's a good one.
- 32:40And because I never fully finished this movie before, I
- 32:43thought this was the end of the movie.
- 32:45So I got to this point. I was like, wow, that's ending
- 32:48already. I knew it wasn't the end
- 32:51because, like, I think I had fallen asleep before this part
- 32:56and then I had woken up like later in the movie.
- 32:58So I knew this wasn't the end. Yeah, Lista looks like he
- 33:05definitely smells pretty strong right now.
- 33:09I love the breakdown of this costume is just so well done.
- 33:14But Lista ends up burning down in the house, allegedly.
- 33:19So our favorite duo of Claudia and Louis go to Perry.
- 33:26Yes. And Claudia gets to live her
- 33:28life. And you know, Louise laying her
- 33:31go to like, I love that scene where she's at, the fitting,
- 33:34just dancing around in these dresses.
- 33:36She's still wearing blue, which is interesting to me, but she's
- 33:39finally just going to be like the young woman that she's
- 33:42wanted to be, wearing whatever she wants.
- 33:44If the corset and the bustle in the back of it, she's living
- 33:48right now, yeah. And she transitions into much
- 33:50darker colors. So she's like, I am mentally,
- 33:55she is an adult. She is like mature kind of in
- 33:59that sense. So she's choosing like adult
- 34:02silhouettes and colors to reflect like her mental state.
- 34:08Yeah, that's true her Her clothing choices tend to be more
- 34:10adult when they move to Paris, right?
- 34:14Yeah, yeah. And she goes more into like
- 34:17jewel tones, which I think it's kind of a way of her.
- 34:21Making that connection in her head where she's still, you
- 34:23know, kind of like the child of Louie and the stunt.
- 34:26So she's still wearing like those Blues, but it's darker as
- 34:29she's a little bit more of like a tested moving into being like
- 34:33her own type of character at this moment.
- 34:37But this introduces something I was not fully prepared for.
- 34:43Antonio Banderas, as Armand And I mentioned earlier that this
- 34:49guy remind me of Daniel because when we did Halloween one year,
- 34:52he dressed up as serious black. And now like, this is just what
- 34:56his costume looked like to me. I think you were actually being
- 34:59Armand Daniel, if you had a beer, this would be Daniel.
- 35:06But yeah, this man looks. Amazing.
- 35:09I love the long hair. The wig is like questionable at
- 35:12times, but it gets better I would say throughout the film.
- 35:17I yeah. I mean, it takes like a second
- 35:20to get used to him with this, like length of hair, but like,
- 35:24it kind of works. And that red What is that?
- 35:28A cloak? That's kind of a play on
- 35:30Dracula, right? I think so.
- 35:32And it works a. Little bit, but Dracula hadn't
- 35:34come. Out at this point yet, though,
- 35:36which is interesting. Oh, that's true.
- 35:39Oh. Yeah, because that was my first
- 35:41thought. I was like, oh, it's, you know,
- 35:43Gary Oldman, but this came out technically before, but it's
- 35:47still something about a vampire just screams like a big red
- 35:51trailing cloak. So I'm not surprised that both
- 35:53of these films hit that same note, because, I mean, you're
- 35:57not going to see a vampire walking around in a big white
- 35:59cloak, that creepy UR. So I just feel like a big red
- 36:03blood color blood cloak just really works and.
- 36:07I mean, Armand kills it, you know?
- 36:10Absolutely. And I love his, like, level
- 36:14sophistication above, like all the other vampires that are
- 36:18there. And he's just like, yeah,
- 36:21they're all kind of idiots. I'm the one in charge.
- 36:27We see when we go to the theater of vampires, yeah, you could
- 36:33tell that the other vampires that work for him are like a
- 36:35bunch of dorks. But they know how to put on a
- 36:37show, though. They do.
- 36:39And I'm like, what do the humans in the audience think was
- 36:43happening? Like, how do they get people to
- 36:47attend this every single night? Everyone in that audience looked
- 36:51so confused. Yeah, they look so.
- 36:54Confused. It's the ticket value.
- 36:58The ticket pricing must be like very competitive for Paris at
- 37:01this time because. Slim pickings for shows, yeah?
- 37:12Yeah, that I wasn't wanting the same thing.
- 37:13It's like, how did you all end up at this performance?
- 37:16And but I really love this scene.
- 37:19I think it's such an interesting, beautiful scene.
- 37:21It's disturbing, but just seeing the costumes work on that stage,
- 37:24all the black cloaks and how they move, it's very creepy.
- 37:29But then you see Armond emerge, and like that again, that
- 37:33scarlet Crimson red color. You could tell that he's like
- 37:38the leader of this whole thing and everyone else kind of has a
- 37:40little bit of a fear of Armand. I don't like that one dork,
- 37:45though. Who like is, I don't know, his
- 37:48like #2 or whatever. Yeah.
- 37:54So things are starting to get messy with the vampires, but not
- 37:58before Claudia ends up with a new mommy.
- 38:01How's that? Yeah, I like her new mom.
- 38:04I don't understand how she jumped to the conclusion that,
- 38:07like, Louie was going to, like, abandon her or something.
- 38:11But I do like her new mom. Yeah, I do.
- 38:16I love the two of them together. And now that we've talked, I
- 38:20think I've kind of figured out in my head what's up with the
- 38:22colors. Because I I love Claudia and the
- 38:25blue, but I was like, why is the new mom in a green?
- 38:29I'm like, oh, well, it's just Louie and Lestat all over again.
- 38:32It's just like the cycle of abuse continues throughout all
- 38:36the different relationships for Claudia, Louie, and Lestat.
- 38:39So she's in like a emerald green.
- 38:43It's almost like she's replacing Louie in a way before she gets
- 38:48dropped, you know? Yeah, yeah.
- 38:51Which I don't think was going to happen.
- 38:53But I also like that she had the forethought to, like, be like, I
- 38:58need to go get a willing adult to act like my guardian, even
- 39:03though eventually I am an adult. I know I need another adult.
- 39:12But things fall apart very quickly.
- 39:14I was shocked when Claudia and her new mom got torched.
- 39:19I'm like, they had nothing. Well, she had something to do,
- 39:22but the mom had nothing to do. Was that death?
- 39:28Until the very end of the movie, I was kind of like waiting for
- 39:32Claudia to come back because I just failed to believe that she
- 39:35actually died at that point in the movie.
- 39:37And I was wrong. She got crispy.
- 39:40Chicken nuggeted. So although I'll be honest, I'm
- 39:43like, why didn't the mom just, like, hide her under her skirts?
- 39:50Like, you know what I mean to hide her from.
- 39:51The sun no before they died. Yeah, she she just.
- 39:57Oh, I see what you mean. Yeah, clearly she's scared of
- 40:01the sun. Put her under your skirt.
- 40:03Although, like their entire like maybe her dress would have
- 40:07burned up and then Claudia would have burned up anyway.
- 40:09I don't know. That is true.
- 40:11I mean when they found her body. And I don't think.
- 40:15I don't think the dress has made it either.
- 40:17No. One of my favorite costumes is
- 40:21Louise looking. Where's to torch the place?
- 40:25Yes, his murderous rampage. This was my favorite part of the
- 40:29movie. I want a site, Daniel, can you
- 40:33hook me up with a site? I feel like you know somebody.
- 40:37Come to Pennsylvania. We can get you a site down here.
- 40:40There's lots of farms. Same over here in Vermont.
- 40:45I love the forethought, though, of him getting a site because he
- 40:48can't get too close to the fire, but he knows he's going to need
- 40:51to, like, chop people's heads off.
- 40:53Yeah, So brilliant. So smart.
- 40:55Yeah, he's a good thinker. Yeah, it's almost like he
- 40:57becomes death. You definitely see the the
- 41:01transition. He leaves the old Louis behind
- 41:03and becomes, it's like, all right, well, my kid crispy.
- 41:08I'm like a new murderous vampire at this point.
- 41:10I'm going to do what I have to do and I'm done being everyone's
- 41:13friend, kind of. So he, yeah, he definitely
- 41:16becomes a Batty. And I love that vest that he's
- 41:20wearing. The text on it is beautiful,
- 41:23Just stands out. And again, he's wearing the
- 41:24white. And this time, like Daniel
- 41:27mentioned earlier, the white is a little bit more distressed.
- 41:30It's very dirty and to me just kind of shows again, the idea
- 41:34that he's really becoming okay with being this murderous
- 41:39vampire that let's not always wanted him to be from the
- 41:41beginning, yeah. I think it's also a play on like
- 41:46maybe him getting his hands dirty, cuz like the whole time
- 41:49he's so pristine and clean. Yeah, and he's kind of let
- 41:53everyone do everything for him, honestly.
- 41:57Yeah, it's definitely him stepping up and taking charge,
- 42:01but like. So one thing with like, Louie,
- 42:03it's like he's always done what he thought was like, the right
- 42:06thing to do. And in this case, he's like,
- 42:10okay, you murdered my kid. I'm going to murder you right
- 42:14back. Like, fine.
- 42:16The right thing to do is starting to get boring for him.
- 42:21Well, it's not like he can turn them into the police.
- 42:23Hey, they crispied my vampire daughter.
- 42:28That's true. And then we Fast forward back to
- 42:31New Orleans in 1988, and Louis just goes to go check in on his
- 42:36old friend Lesta. I mean, he sees a creepy house
- 42:39and he's like, I wonder goes in. Of course we find Lesta really
- 42:44just being the ultimate couch potato.
- 42:46Yeah. Because it's it's his old house.
- 42:49It's the house they had in New Orleans, right?
- 42:52And Lesta, it's just been chilling here the entire time,
- 42:55just really growing into the chair.
- 42:58I know, I'm like. I like, has it really taken you
- 43:01this long to regenerate yourself?
- 43:03Like what is happening here? He's just eating like rats and
- 43:07birds and stuff. So I mean, you know, he needs
- 43:10like a nice juicy steak, if you know what I mean.
- 43:13And he's just been eating very bad appetizers.
- 43:16Yeah, maybe he's eating like fast food.
- 43:20He needs to switch his diet up again, like the makeup and
- 43:27prosthetics let's That looks so creepy, and I just feel like I
- 43:34haven't looked into it by hope that there's a Cami War
- 43:36nomination, at least for like, the makeup and prosthetics team.
- 43:41Are you looking up who did it? Yeah, well, I'm just gonna go
- 43:45into the Oscars has like a database of all their winners
- 43:48and nominees, so just look up Interview with a Vampire.
- 43:53They didn't get anything so crazy, So crazy.
- 44:01Well, major bummer for the Academy, but whatever.
- 44:05But what's not a bummer? Is Louie looking real good at
- 44:09the movies, though? Yeah, he's aged well, you know.
- 44:13I mean, he still looks the same, but the way he's adapted to like
- 44:161988, he's still real good. But yeah, he's still like, from
- 44:22New Orleans. So he's not, like, gonna be
- 44:25wearing parachute pants and neon tank tops, you know?
- 44:29He looks like, like a like a very successful businessman.
- 44:32Like that's his whole vibe in the 80s.
- 44:36Yeah, I love it. And I love the ponytail, yeah.
- 44:39You know what's interesting too, is that, like, throughout the
- 44:41whole time, it looks like all the vampires always have like, a
- 44:46velvety suede material to their outfits and that almost, like,
- 44:51no ever changes. Yeah, that's true.
- 44:54They, I mean, they love an expensive fabric.
- 44:56They just can't help themselves. Yeah.
- 45:01But yeah, I wonder why that is. It's almost like they're kind
- 45:04of, the vampires are just glowing all the time.
- 45:07They have like a little bit of a Sheen to them in the moon.
- 45:11Just adds, like a bit of like beauty to the aesthetic.
- 45:15Make them, since they're supposed to be, like, eternally
- 45:17beautiful, especially under the moonlight, because they're
- 45:20always in darkness too. So I feel like their fabrics are
- 45:23a little bit more reflective. Oh yeah, that's true.
- 45:26Yeah, I love that. What I don't love was this dorky
- 45:31interviewer guy who clearly just like Elizabeth and I the first
- 45:35time we're not watching the movie because he didn't hear a
- 45:39damn word that Louie was saying the entire time.
- 45:44He. He.
- 45:45Was real distracted. He was played by Christian
- 45:49Slater and yeah, what a dork. He didn't hear anything.
- 45:55Louis, the whole time was like, dark, dark, dark, sad, sad, sad.
- 45:58I hate all of this. And he was like, so can you make
- 46:01me a vampire? I was like.
- 46:03No, come on. He was like, had I understood,
- 46:08would have said no. But yeah, I I do love the entire
- 46:16premise of this film and it being this this big long
- 46:20interview and the interviewer just does not understand like,
- 46:24what a bummer. But fortunately he gets his
- 46:27pretty quickly because good old pal Laestat was just chilling in
- 46:31his car the entire time, I guess.
- 46:33Yeah, I'm like, has he just, like creepily been following
- 46:37Louis to just see what he's up to?
- 46:40I think since he found him again.
- 46:42He kind of started stalking him. Stalking him got some good, some
- 46:46good meals in him apparently. Oh yeah.
- 46:49He's definitely been eating good lately.
- 46:51He looks, he looks pretty much the same except he's wearing.
- 46:55I love his his take on 80s because if you look at his
- 46:58sleeves, it looks like he still has like because he died volume.
- 47:02He has the same shirt from the 1700s, which how that has not
- 47:05disintegrated, I don't understand.
- 47:08Well, it looks very dirty but he throws on like at 80s.
- 47:12I can't tell if it's leather or denim.
- 47:14I think it's leather. He throws on like 80s.
- 47:16He stole it. Yeah, it definitely feels like
- 47:19he stole it. So he's like, I'm not getting
- 47:21rid of this shirt, but I am going to wear that cool jacket I
- 47:24found off some guy. That guy I murdered?
- 47:28Take his jacket. Yes, yeah.
- 47:33And he's, I guess he's just really wants another piece of
- 47:38Louis. So he's going to be, you know,
- 47:41chasing him down a little bit, listening to his.
- 47:43Well, he doesn't listen to the. I guess the podcast Christian
- 47:47Slater recorded. He turns that shit off real
- 47:50quick and that brings us to the End of Interview with the
- 47:56Vampire. I am so glad that we finally got
- 47:59to watch this. I feel like I've been missing
- 48:00out my entire life and I just feel a little bit more complete
- 48:03now. Good.
- 48:05You know one thing that was Well, I'll.
- 48:08I'll save this till the one costume.
- 48:11Oh, OK, Daniel's ready to play the game.
- 48:13Already that was missed. That was my personal favorite.
- 48:17OK, well, I mean, maybe we should take a little break and
- 48:20when we come back, we will play our favorite game.
- 48:23Hell yeah. What's up, costume nerds?
- 48:41This is Spencer Cohost and producer of the Art of Costume
- 48:44Blogcast. I love the simple things in
- 48:47life. Free parking, air conditioning
- 48:49and a nice comfortable hoodie. If you feel the same way that

- 49:15It's. About there Daniel.
- 49:38Are you ready to play our favorite game?
- 49:41I am. I'm kind of dying to know what
- 49:44Daniels costume was that we missed.
- 49:46I know. I mean, there was a lot of
- 49:49costumes. Yeah, when when you see it,
- 49:52you'll be like, Oh my God, I forgot about this.
- 49:55OK, it's it's a it's a showstopper for sure.
- 49:58It might change your minds. Just saying.
- 50:00Just saying. All right.
- 50:03Well, usually we say hit it, Daniel, but you're right here.
- 50:06So yeah, so all hit it. The one costume.
- 50:12To rule them all. OK, I think I'll go first to get
- 50:21my blabbering out of the way. So my favorite costume was the
- 50:27set that Louie and Claudia were to the swamp.
- 50:30I love. Like the Forest Green, the sage
- 50:33green that they're both wearing. Especially Claudia's look,
- 50:38because she's, you know, kind of blending into this swamp
- 50:40environment a little bit. But she still has, like Daniel
- 50:45mentioned earlier, it's almost like Louie is kind of cloaking
- 50:48her, trying to make her feel a little bit more protected and
- 50:52safe, even though she's watching one of her dad's get chewed up
- 50:55by a Gator at this moment. But she's wearing pink
- 50:58underneath, so it still just kind of shows like Claudia just
- 51:01trying to like break out of this whole that listants had her in.
- 51:06But yet she still has a little bit of blue in her costume.
- 51:08So I just feel like that specific costume that she's
- 51:10wearing just says so much about her character at this very
- 51:14moment in time before they go to Paris.
- 51:18So I think that's just a banger costume.
- 51:22I approve, and Louie definitely looks like a like a classic
- 51:26vampire. Yeah, the.
- 51:28Specific like time with the cloak, the like vest.
- 51:34The old Timey cravat. Yeah, I would definitely agree
- 51:37this is like stereotypical vampire Elizabeth.
- 51:41What was your one costume ruled them all?
- 51:44MY1 costume to rule them all is also a set.
- 51:47It's a Claudia and her new mom because, like, they compliment
- 51:54each other so well and it's really Claudia being like, this
- 51:58is my new life, like. I know I cannot, like, be with
- 52:03you forever. So I'm finding myself a new
- 52:06parent and I'm gonna go live my best life without you, Louis.
- 52:13And it's just it's elegant. And really, really vampirey, if
- 52:18I'm being honest. Very vampirey.
- 52:22And the colors too. Again, like, I love the use of
- 52:25color that Sandy Powell uses in the costumes.
- 52:28And again, that shiny quality to it is so nice.
- 52:32Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
- 52:34Yeah. All right, Daniel, I want to
- 52:36know what this costume is that you've been holding on to.
- 52:39So for me it is Louie's. Fur coat ensemble that he has,
- 52:47which is that's such a good one. After Claudia dies and after he
- 52:52kills all the other vampires, he goes to talk to Armand.
- 52:56Oh yeah, and. He has this like fur coat with
- 52:58this like really lavish, like vest, cravat and he almost has
- 53:04like a king, almost like Dracula look to.
- 53:10Yeah, and for me it kind of gives off like.
- 53:14This is like his ultimate form, you know, Like, yes.
- 53:17Yeah. Like he's evolved into like the
- 53:20final boss battle. Yeah, And it it almost feels
- 53:24like he is the king of vampires, you know?
- 53:28Yeah, this look. Yeah, I mean, he just turned
- 53:31Armand on his head by, you know, uneliving all of his vampire
- 53:36buddies. I don't think Armand was that
- 53:39upset about it. I don't think he was, but I
- 53:41think it definitely was a flex. I think our mom was just like,
- 53:45but you're going to stay with me?
- 53:46Yeah. No, no, no.
- 53:48OK. He's a hard pass.
- 53:51You definitely were in on the plan to turn my daughter into a
- 53:55crispy chicken nugget. So yeah, no, that's a good one,
- 54:00Daniel. I can't believe I missed that
- 54:02scene in our in our notes. It's so good.
- 54:05He just definitely looks so evolved and kind of like like
- 54:08the mob boss of the vampires, you know?
- 54:10Like you don't want to mess with this guy anymore.
- 54:12He just clearly for sure. Yeah, he just showed his
- 54:15talents, so no one's messing with Louie anymore.
- 54:20And that brings us to the end of our Interview with the Vampire
- 54:23episode. This was so fun.
- 54:25Yes, and if you would all like to tell us you're one costume to

- 54:52Excited. You put a picture up in our
- 54:58slide. One of my all time celebrity
- 55:00crushes is 1 Eva Green. She is absolutely brilliant and
- 55:05a few years ago I think we were like in college.
- 55:08Yeah, Showtime had this fantastic series called Penny
- 55:12Dreadful. It is so good.
- 55:15It stars Eva Green as Vanessa Ives.
- 55:19There's some Frankenstein elements.
- 55:22There's Dorian Gray. It is everything.
- 55:26And if you haven't seen the series, go watch it.
- 55:29And if you have seen the series, you're probably jumping up and
- 55:31down right now because it is perfect.
- 55:34And we're talking about the original Penny Dreadful series,
- 55:38not the rebooth they did a year or two ago.
- 55:42Which I haven't seen. I don't know what it's like, but
- 55:44we're talking about the original.
- 55:46Oh, I didn't know there was a a reboot.
- 55:48They did a reboot in like it was sent in like Los Angeles.
- 55:51I think it was supposed to be like about like, I don't know,
- 55:54serial killers or something. I don't know.
- 55:55I didn't even, I didn't want anything to do with it,
- 55:58honestly, because you just. I just felt like they couldn't
- 56:03top this masterpiece. Daniel, have you seen it?
- 56:06I haven't seen it. Just because, like personally,
- 56:09I'm not much of ATV Watcher, but I have heard of it and I've seen
- 56:14bits and pieces of episodes. It's and I like the the dark
- 56:18aesthetic of it. Yeah, I think you'll love.
- 56:20It you would like it, you would like it.
- 56:22It's perfect for our spooky season.
- 56:24So for everyone get a refresher. Go watch Penny Dreadful.
- 56:27I myself need to go hop in the other room and start rewatching
