In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide.

I bid you welcome to this year’s Apocalypse Video Shocktober Spooktacular. I am Dave, and I am one of the undead…a vampire. I was a middle aged man of thirty eight when I was turned by one of my employees, a large headed, bespectacled predator in the night named Ryan.
In the year that followed, I would spend my nights feasting on the rodents and mutated deer that roamed in the darkness. I thought I would go mad without ever tasting of Taco Bell again, but overtime, I grew to love the warm blood of two headed rats and capri sun blood packs.
I eventually made some friends in the dark alleys of Bartertown; friends who shared my particular ailment of needing to feast on human blood. They took me in and made me a member of the poetry slam and fan-fic society at the local bar and grill.
Our podcast tonight takes place at that very establishment, Lestat’s Bar and Grill, during a very special month-long promotion, called Vamptober. Tonight’s feature: a screening of the 1994 Anne Rice classic…Interview with the Vampire.
I’m joined this evening by my fellow cinephiles and blood suckers Mike, Ryan, Jackie, and special guest: Janna.
Topics of discussion in this episode include the era of peak bad movie accents; Oprah tries to save our souls by walking out of a press screening; and finally, we play Marry, F@*K, Kill with Louis, Lestat, and Armand.

That will do it for the first act of Apocalypse Video’s newly christened "Vamptober Spooktacular". When we return, we’ll suit up in our tight fitting leather outfits and brandish our dual pistols as we descend into 2003’s Len Wiseman vampire-matrix mashup: Underworld.
Note: Unfortunately, our episode on Super Xuxa vs Satan will be postponed until November due to events beyond our control (or, more specifically, one of the store’s staff fumbling the audio of said episode and absconding to a foreign country with the episode masters. This employee, who will remain unnamed - it rhymes with Schmike - has been punished severely.
