The Grand Guignol
Style
In 1994's Interview with the Vampire, the "Theatre de
Vampires" (and the film itself, to some degree) envoked
the Grand Guignol style, perhaps to further remove the undead performers from humanity, morality and class.
Interview with the Vampire
The
horror movie soon continued its search for new and
effective frights. In 1985's novel The Vampire Lestat by
author Anne Rice (who penned Interview...'s screenplay
and the 1976 novel of the same name) suggests that its
antihero Lestat inspired and nurtured the Grand Guignol
style and theatre.
