If True Blood's pleasures were limited to the hotness, I wouldn't bother. It's so much more than that, so much more than vampires. Of course, the first season's gay rights and recreational drug use allegories were better than what they've got this year, which is primarily Christian Fundamentalism. Still, a good thing to skewer.
I've never seen Andy Warhol's Dracula ... but speaking of the lesser-knowns ... anyone else ever see Roman Polanski's The Fearless Vampire Killers?
