Question: Which work of vampire literature was adapted into a film in 1994?

<P0-S0>  Based on a short story Rice wrote around 1968, the novel centers on vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac, who tells the story of his life to a reporter. <P0-S1>  Rice composed the novel shortly after the death of her young daughter Michelle, who served as an inspiration for the child-vampire character Claudia. <P0-S2> Interview with the Vampire is a debut gothic horror and vampire novel by American author Anne Rice, published in 1976. <P0-S3>  Though initially the subject of mixed critical reception, the book was followed by a large number of widely popular sequels, collectively known as "The Vampire Chronicles". <P0-S4>  A film adaptation was released in 1994, starring Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise, and the novel has been adapted as a comic three times. <SEP> <P1-S0>  The literary vampire first appeared in 18th-century poetry, before becoming one of the stock figures of gothic fiction with the publication of Polidori's "The Vampyre" (1819), which was inspired by the life and legend of Lord Byron. <P1-S1>  Later influential works include the penny dreadful "Varney the Vampire" (1847); Sheridan Le Fanu's tale of a lesbian vampire, "Carmilla" (1872) and the masterpiece of the genre: Bram Stoker's "Dracula" (1897). <P1-S2> Vampire literature covers the spectrum of literary work concerned principally with the subject of vampires. <P1-S3>  Some authors created a more "sympathetic vampire", with "Varney" being the first example, and in 1986 by Anne Rice in "Interview with the Vampire". <SEP> <P2-S0> Angela Sommer-Bodenburg (born December 18, 1948 in Reinbek, Germany) is the author of a number of fantasy books for children. <P2-S1>  Her most famous contribution to the field of children's fantasy is "The Little Vampire" series which has sold over 10 million copies and has been translated into over 30 languages. <P2-S2>  Sommer-Bodenburg states that her "vampire is not a bloodthirsty monster, however, but an affectionate little vampire with fears and foibles who will perhaps help free children of their own fears." <P2-S3>  The novel, written in 1979, spawned a series of books, and the plot has been adapted to theatre, radio, cinema, and television. <P2-S4>  A Canadian-German TV series was released in 1986 and a film version, directed by Uli Edel was released in 2000. <SEP> <P3-S0> Carroll Borland (February 25, 1914 – February 3, 1994), better known by the stage-spelling Carol Borland, was an American professor, writer, and actress. <P3-S1>  She is best known for having portrayed Luna, the daughter of Bela Lugosi's character, Count Mora, in "Mark of the Vampire", and for creating the iconic look of the female vampire with her waist-length dark hair and Adrian-designed shroud in this film. <P3-S2>  The visual designs of both the character of Lily Munster in the television series The Munsters and the female vampire in "Plan 9 from Outer Space" were based on her striking appearance. <P3-S3>  She was accused of wearing the "wiggiest wig in Hollywood," but claimed that the waist-length hair was her own. <P3-S4>  Her character does not speak through much of the film, but walks in a trance-like state until the end, when it is revealed that she and Lugosi are both actors who pretended to be vampires in order to catch a murderer. <P3-S5>  She was born in San Francisco, California. <P3-S6>  She was a drama student at UC Berkeley at the time she took the role. <P3-S7>  She had previously appeared in a stage production of "Dracula" with Lugosi, in a minor role as one of his victims.
