Vampire Hunter D (1985)
When our darkest dreams become real...reality becomes a nightmare!For 10,000 years, Count Magnus Lee has walked the night, sustained by an unholy thirst for blood and an unending lust for human women. But when he tastes the sweet nectar running through Doris Lang's veins, the Count knows he has found more than his next meal: this is the woman he intends to claim as his next vampire bride.

Ozzie D, NP-hard 
@knizer That's an impressively long list of performers at #watertownMA #porchfest! Pity doesn't include Noah Kahan though.
@ozdreaming but they do have "The Dewey Decibels" playing at the Watertown Library (band is entirely of library staff :))
Rey 💜 🏳️⚧️@knizer this will be finishing up around 5pm today, per the folks on site :)
Justin du Coeur@knizer Slight correction: this month, we're trying 7:30 - 9:30 instead.
But it's a great time -- I highly recommend folks come join us!
