‘Vampire Killers’, a short-but-sweet web series

October 26th, 2008 by Price

I have to admit, this is pretty cool. The concept of an evil (redundant) groups of vampire vixens who are plotting to wipe out mankind will always get my vote for a good plot.

Our heroes are a group of vampire killers in L.A. aiming to wipe out the ~500,000 vampires who are providing and ever increasing number of dead bodies. They are fighting a race of female vampires, who enjoy eating flesh and making out. YES.

To be honest, I haven’t really been able to get into any web shows, and I’ve only recently gotten into web comics. For someone who spends almost every waking moment in front of a computer, if I have the desire to watch a film or show, I do it in front of the TV.

However, I quickly ran through the 6 episodes in one sitting. They were very addicting, and for what limited budget the crew had, were exceptionally well filmed and visually appealing, beyond what I would have thought possible. The music is very haunting as well. Thumbs up.

Creator Doug Hutchison has created an interesting cast of characters, headlined by queen vampire Anesia Titov and the aforementioned vampire killers. The lore behind this particular brand of vampire and also the killers who chase them is available on the site, and I only hope that these episodes can continue, or perhaps make it into book or graphic novel form (for us literate folk).

The concept behind the show is quite intriguing as well, as the idea to is to have a grassroots Internet production company kept alive by viewer donations, which is pretty cool. Long live horror!

Take half an hour and watch these. It’s Halloween week after all.
