This is your friendly neighborhood Vampyre archivist.
I am enclosing the info on the FTP site for you.

It is located at:

ftp.cs.uwindsor.ca

to access it one types 

    ftp ftp.cs.uwindsor.ca

If one is using the internet, some bitnet accounts allow one to access this.
otherwise there are bitnet servers for FTP, someone with more information,
please explain how these are used.

Once one has connected it asks you to log in- please use "anonymous" to
log in, not "guest" or your own userid, it will then ask for your address
as a password, this information is kept confidential- my boss just requests
it so he can keep  track of usage.

Then, you are in the root directory of the machine, at the moment there is 
naught else available at this site, though apparently that will shortly
change.

Meanwhile, the following is the routine to reach the section with the files:
cd pub
cd local
cd text
cd vampyres

Underneath this directory are a number of other directories:

Digests   Fluff   World   pics

there is also one file here: Readme

Under Digests can be found old digests of the list from Jae, who will
hopefully soon be uploadingn the full archives to here.

Under Fluff is the old Fluff Archives. One copy of the archives.txt is
available in the next directory.  Then all files are sorted into
alphabetical subdirectories.

Under World:

SKT    Storylines    Digests    volumes

There will soon be a Readme file added here, I haven't gotten around to that 
yet.

The SKT directory is currently just a bunch of SKT's, eventually I hope to sort
these into 3 directories: Mortals, places, Immortals 
these will be self explanatory- files here are stored as:
 
sktname.authorname

Storylines: all the stories with authors name, broken down into sections
are here.  This is to make it possible for one storyline to be followed at a
time. These are title.#.author

Digests: these are the logs that Morgan is sending me each few days
of the discussions on the list.

Volumes are the stories as they went out to the rest of the Vampyres list.
These will shortly be removed once I have the storylines section completed.
I will place in that section a file with a liting of what was in each issue
of Ravenscar Nights.

I hope this is helpful to you, please feel free to enjoy the archives at
your leisure.

     Close but no cigar.
	Gabrielle was Lestat's human mother.  She's his Child. (Vampirically
speaking, of course.)
	I believe the g,g,g,g,great grandchild's name was Jesse.  Something
that started with a J, anyway.
	I also think that the vampire who saved Jesse at the concert -- or
tried to, anyway -- was named Mael.  He was not made by Maharet.  He was made
by one of the gods of the tree in ancient times.....
	Also, and this is the BIG one:  Claudia DIES in the first book!  She
does NOT come back.  She "appears" once as a ghost or hallucination.  No one's
sure which.  She's DEAD.
	Thank you for dealing with my ranting.  Back to your regularly

I believe that there were two films, namely "Count Yorga, Vampire"
and then "Return of Count Yorga". The first film was made in the
early 70's, and I forget when the second one came out. The second
film, if I recall, had a different actor playing the count and it
really was not a sequel to the first film at all.

These were quite entertaining for someone in their early teens, as
I was back then, but to be honest they are definite "B movie" material.
You know what I mean-- continuity problems, some sound mismatching, and
at one point I recall seeing the bright spotlights near the piano
which Yorga liked to play. Yorga was supposedly a Bulgarian count, by
the way, but spoke fluent English. :-)

It's the first part of the '3 Mothers' trilogy by Dario Argento. The
second part is Inferno - both made some years ago. I've seen a trailer
of his latest 'Trauma' and it looks like this could be the long
awaited third part. If you know Argento's work, then you'll know what
to expect. If you're unfamiliar with it then don't expect conventional
storylines or characters. Argento likes to look for the monster inside
each of us and to express what he finds in terms of emotion and
sensation rather than in conventionaly threaded plots. To get the most
out of an Argento picture, put aside expections and just go with the
flow. You will be rewarded.

Really?  I've scene all the above and I don't remember Unrated on the box.
I prefered Hellbound to Hellraiser, besides, it included all the good parts
of Hellraiser in the flashbacks.

I'm currently reading Hellbound Heart, and I'm not enjoying Clive's writing
style...  I also prefering the movie screenplay, although I saw it first.

All, the Book of Blood series is labeled Book of Blood 1 to 6 in Canada, not
1 to 3, and then the remaining 3 under different names atleast in the Sphere
publication.

Because of all the talk about it on here I rented it last weekend and was
very disappointed. I found it to be extremely slow and boring.  I almost
didn't watch it all the way through. Basically it's about an American
who goes to some Dance Acadamy in Europe and a bunch of strange things
happen (students getting killed).

I saw the movie the otherday and was happily suppriesed that ol'
Wes is back in his old "masterpiece-mood". After the poor attempt
to "re-make" a nightmare on elm street(shocker), he's back with
a chill-to-the-bone kind of film.

Good actors (loved what's-his-name from Twin Peaks in that leather-
suit - talk about weirdo), good plot (we get to know the reason
why there isn't any money in the getto) - in short : a great film.

I know that it is a while since it was released, but I live in
Norway and it takes some time for US-films to get here, if they
do (censorship sucks!). Supprisingly The people under the stairs
was unsencored.

How was the review of the movie in the US?

It should also include a scene with Kirsty in a room with pictures of her

>Has anyone heard of a book by Blackwood called "John Silence"?

I hadn't heard of it, Maria, but I just looked it up in one of my
handy-dandy references.  Apparently "John Silence, Physician
Extraordinary" is a "psychic detective" whom Blackwood featured
in a number of stories, which are not considered among Blackwood's
best, because of the silly-sounding mysticism the author favors--
e.g., Silence's speeches on "an etheric Body of Desire."  I'd
make your own judgment, though--the Silence tales may have camp
value.  Jack Sullivan (well-known horror critic and author of
_Elegant_Nightmares_:_The_English_Ghost_Story_from_LeFanu_to_
_Blackwood_) says:

	Dr. Silence is no more of a windbag than LeFanu's
	Dr. Hesselius, Hodgson's Carnacki the "ghost-finder,"
	or Stoker's Van Helsing.  And some of his theories
	are so outrageously bizarre that they become enter-
	taining.  In "The Camp of the Dog," for instance,
	we learn that the most efficient way to identify a
	werewolf in a group of people being menaced by one
	is to indulge in hashish, which will make clear who
	the molester is and what beast he or she "most 
	approximates."

'Does sound entertaining.  Why don't you give us a report, Maria?

I must admit, I feel the same way.  After seeing all the posts on here
saying that the scariest scene in a movie was in this one, I went out
and rented it this past weekend.  There were some gory-ish moments in 
it, granted, but nothing horrifying.  I fell asleep at the end and had
to have a friend tell me the last 10 minutes.  Hardly something to keep
me awake at night.

I am, however, looking for truly horrifying movies/stories.  I mean,
ones that _do_ keep you awake at night and have you checking the tub 
drain for a week.  Anyone have any other suggestions?

He used to publish under another name (Somtow P. ??????????????????), a very
long Thai name.  He has had quite a few stories in _Isaac Asimov's Science
FIction Magazine_ in the past couple of years.
