Durg the Interview wh the Vampire panel at SDCC, which Screen Rant attend, Jon says that the show will embrace the gay subtext of Rice's origal novel. While the film adaptatn didn't dive to Ltat and Louis' queerns, the gay subtext between the characters still very much remaed, spe beg somewhat ambiguo.
‘INTERVIEW WH THE VAMPIRE’ SERI TO LEAN INTO A GAY SUBTEXT
AMC’s new show fally lets Ltat and Louis be gay, do crim. * interview with the vampire gay subtext *
If Jon' ments on the show's gay subtext are any ditn, this eratn of Interview wh the Vampire will be an thentic, unashamedly queer love letter to Rice's work. Not unlike the way I uld’ve sworn that “Berensta Bears” was spelled wh a third “e, ” I totally believed that prev rnatns of Interview wh the Vampire — both Anne Rice’s origal 1976 novel and the 1994 movie adaptatn — were explicly about gay vampir. But more than that, they seemed to embody the ethos “be gay, do crime, ” a not-always-so-leral exhortatn to live a queer life fiance.
But the homoeroticism was all subtext.

Interview wh the Vampire 's gay. Like, really gay. Ridg a rabow-lored unirn through a screeng of Twilight while listeng to Ricky Mart gay.

AMC’s Interview wh the Vampire, an updated, grisly, and often mordantly hilar retellg of the origal story pulls gay subtext to the ma text, givg a fancy vampire lookg for a longtime pann. And tellg their story, Interview creat an embolned mentary about how sexualy, race, inty, power, and opprsn are all tertwed, and how the forc have throughout Amerin history left the magnificently queer vampir (and many others) wh no choice but to be extremely gay and do so, so many crim. In Interview wh the Vampire, gay vampir get lonely, too.
Logilly, gay vampir make a ton of sense.
Vampir don’t partake racism, sexism, and homophobia bee all of humany is beneath them, let alone humany’s awful hangups. But vampir probably, as Ltat also monstrat, aren’t gog to let racism or homophobia gui their sire. It’s hard for some of them to prehend the ia of two men together — not unlike the way history turns gay and lbian lovers to “roommat” or “bt iends.

Come to thk of , Interview is a lot like Frasier, a show that’s also about two sufferable gay men whose fancy tast annoy and threaten the people around them. If they found out he was gay, his life would be danger. When Ltat shows up, all fancy and charmg and gay, his offer of vampiric immortaly is much more than an eternal life of queer pannship.
Be gay, do crim! Part of me hope Louis, who is a 100-year-old queer vampire, got to hear Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love” on a dance floor full of flagrant homosexuals.
ANNE RICE AND HER HOMOEROTIC VAMPIR LEFT AN IMMORTAL MARK ON GAY CULTURE
Daniel isn’t gay.
It turns out that beg a gay vampire and dog crime isn’t ial, but allows Louis to be closer to who he tly is — much more than the human world would ever allow him to be. When Interview wh the Vampire was released cemas 1994, dienc for the most part pletely missed the glarg homoeroticism and queer subtext. As if that wasn’t queer enough, Interview wh the Vampire also has plenty of scen of very homoerotic bloodsuckg.
HORROR MOVI WH GAY SUBTEXT
It’s worth notg that Anne Rice herself knew jt how subversive the text’s implic queerns was – and she worried s homoerotic leangs would stop Interview wh the Vampire om ever makg to the big screen.
