The Arrow in the Head Show revisits the vampire classic Near Dark (1987)

Last Updated on November 1, 2022

In the previous episode of The Arrow in the Head Show, hosts John “The Arrow” Fallon and Lance Vlcek were joined by Chris Margetis of The Manson Brothers Midnight Zombie Massacre to discuss one of my all-time favorite films, the 1986 classic Trick or Treat. In the new episode, The Arrow and Lance are revisiting another ’80s classic, one of my favorite vampire movies, Near Dark (watch it HERE)! To find out what they had to say about Near Dark, check out the video embedded above.

Directed by Kathryn Bigelow from a screenplay she wrote with Eric Red, Near Dark has the following synopsis:

Cowboy Caleb Colton meets gorgeous Mae at a bar, and the two have an immediate attraction. But when Mae turns out to be a vampire and bites Caleb on the neck, their relationship gets complicated. Wracked with a craving for human blood, Caleb is forced to leave his family and ride with Mae and her gang of vampires, including the evil Severen. Along the way Caleb must decide between his new love of Mae and the love of his family.

The film stars Adrian Pasdar, Jenny Wright, Lance Henriksen, Bill Paxton, Jenette Goldstein, Tim Thomerson, Joshua John Miller, Marcie Leeds, and James LeGros.

Here’s some information on The Arrow in the Head Show:

We’re trying something a bit new here on Arrow In The Head. After many years behind the scenes, we’ve decided to take our sarcastic, booze-influenced style into the video age with The Arrow In The Head Show! Hosted by John Fallon aka The Arrow and Lance Vlcek, we will dig into not only the newest horror flicks hitting the big and small screens but also delve into the good, bad, and ugly of horror from the golden ages of the ’80s through the underrated 90s and maybe a bit beyond.

Something groovy and a tad rough around the edges, we are here to talk shop with a drink in hand, a bit of foul language, and a whole lot of heart.

The Near Dark episode of the show was Edited by Lance.
