Bonus: The Vampire Lestat (2026): Side A with Kim Morrison & Lauren McAllister
[BONUS] We begin our long-awaited coverage of AMC's The Vampire Lestat, the re-titled third season of Interview with the Vampire, where the brat prince officially takes the mic! We dive headfirst into Lestat de Lioncourt's chaotic rock star era, exploring the first three episodes of this brilliant, blood-soaked rebranding as he launches a tour, confronts his traumatic past, and deals with the messy fallout of Daniel Molloy's book. And joining us for this tour is horror writer Kim Morrison and podcaster Lauren McAllister... 🎸 The Set List ~ [ 00:00:20 ] "Detroit" with Lauren McAllister & Kim Morrison Lestat reflects on the publication of Interview with the Vampire and the events leading up to his massive rock tour as lead singer of the band Satan's Night Out, a drug-fuelled spiritual trip, and his destructive showdown with a resentful local vampire coven. ~ [ 00:53:45 ] "Toledo" with Kim Morrison Lestat revisits his human origins in Auvergne and explores Toledo alongside his newly reconnected—and deeply complicated—vampire mother, Gabriella. Amidst rising tensions within the band, there's also a tense legal showdown with a disgruntled hotel owner: Louis de Pointe du Lac. ~ [ 01:35:30 ] "Toronto" with Kim Morrison Daniel Molloy finally gets a difficult Lestat in the documentary hot seat, probing into his history as a Parisian actor, his heartbreaking dynamic with Nicolas, and his agonising transformation by vampire Magnus. Meanwhile, we track Louis heading back to Detroit to violently settle some long-unfinished business with Bruce, the vampire who kidnapped Claudia. 🎤 The Band Lead Singers: Dan Owen & Hugh McStay Backing Vocals: Kim Morrison & Lauren McAllister Editors: Hugh McStay & Dan Owen "Stories don't bite.
