VAMPIRES 13 • Cronos (1993) + Nadja (1994)

Part of our new series devoted to exploring the vampire in horror cinema, we discuss two odd vampire gems from the nineties that sit between horror and arthouse.  First up, Guillermo del Toro's debut feature Cronos (1993), a timeless vampire film that never actually uses the 'vampire' word. And we go peak nineties indie with Nadja (1994), which features an amazing soundtrack, cast and bonus cameo from executive producer David Lynch. Joining us in this episode is Zena Dixon, Editor-in-Chief of Real Queen of Horror, to discuss these two oddball vampire gems.  Cronos from 00:07:41Nadja from 0:42:26This season is made possible with the support of Arrow Video. This week's pick is Brian De Palma's little-known goth rock opera Phantom of the Paradise. Produced and presented by Anna Bogutskaya. ***The Final Girls are a UK-based film collective exploring the intersections of horror film and feminism.Find out more about our projects here: thefinalgirls.co.ukFollow us on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
