Borchers & Richard Wenk Grace Jones\u2019 bodypainting & chair by: Keith Haring Special Makeup Effects: Greg Cannom Stunt Coordinator:  Dar Robinson Selected Cast: Chris Makepeace as Keith Robert Rusler as AJ Grace Jones as Katrina Dedee Pfeiffer as Allison\/Amaretto Gedde Watanabe as Duncan Billy Drago as Snow Sandy Baron as Vic Crystal is a big Grace Jones fan so it\u2019s no surprise that Vamp is Crystal\u2019s pick. She has such a good time laughing along with this movie that she enjoys it just as much, maybe more, watching as an adult.  She describes Grace Jones as a work of art in Vamp and gives Gedde Watanabe a big thumbs up for his performance. Chad\u2019s view of Vamp is that if you love cheesy, 80s horror, there\u2019s not much to criticize. There\u2019s a lot of silly 80s stuff, but it\u2019s good silly 80s stuff. He loves Robert Rusler, Chris Makepeace, Grace Jones, and, of course, the vampires! Vamp is an odd little, very 80s film according to Bill and he likes the Nosferatu-like vampires. Grace Jones has such a [resence and her dance is iconic. Jeff is also in awe of the performance given by Grace Jones and is impressed with the effects work. To his surprise, he kind of got into the college-guy humor in Vamp. The 80s Grue-Crew universally enjoys Vamp!  If you hear anything that sparks your interest, Vamp is currently available to stream from Tubi (free w\/ads) as well as a variety of subscription and PPV options. If physical media is your thing, Vamp is available as a Special Edition [Blu-ray] from Arrow Video and as a Blu-ray from Image Entertainment.
