Near Dark is a 1987 American neo-Western horror film co-written and directed by Kathryn Bigelow (in her solo directorial debut), and starring Adrian Pasdar, Jenny Wright, Bill Paxton, Lance Henriksen and Jenette Goldstein.

Weekly Theme Announcement Welcome to Our 6th Week: Old Vampire Movies Hello people! As you can see, this week we drew Old Vampire Movies. Uuuuhhhh, I love vampires. Join me and Krasnaya and find which vampires will be in our nightmares... or beautiful dreams this week. Is a movie from the 00's considered old already? I'm going to give it at least 30 years back. Late 20th century old. Don't want to go back all the way to "Nosferatu" or "Vampyr." Bela Lugosi and Christopher Lee? Maybe not. I want something a bit less known from the old days and that I haven't seen yet. Our blog is updated everyday at 21:00 (WEST).
