The Bite

Rating: 10/10 (22 June 2016)

There must always be a bite. It is always the bite that (from my observations) is what gives the audience that "frisson" of chill, even makes them squirm in their seats. There is no "class" to the bite; it must be done efficiently and expeditiously.
Often one has to ask, "Would I have any qualms about doing that?" Lestat would answer something like (this is not a quote from the movie or a novel), "There is no question. You have no choice. The thirst will lead you into it."
What is the best way for a vampire to move in to bite? Evidently, anything goes: To the arm from the wrist up to the elbow, to the throat from the front or over the shoulder, or into the chest or breast seem to be preferred.
Should be victim/prey be taken lying down or held upright?
In many films. the victim struggles and cries aloud before falling unconscious. In "Interview", sometimes this happens. Sometimes, though, the preliminaries to the bite may have the victim being put into a swoon; look at Louis's expression, completely disconnected, as Lestat chomps away.
How should the dentition look? "Interview" has a highly original approach to "the tools of the trade". Instead of the traditional, paired, elongated upper jaw eye teeth, the look is what I would call "piranha", totally.
As for the outcome of the bite itself, without a doubt the rule is "neatness counts". My favorite line relative to this is Lestat's comment to Claudia, "And you didn't spill a single drop."
Google the various images collections from "Interview", and there should be a couple of pictures of an actual dental cast and what appears to be a sculpted, porcelain veneer on top of it.
