defrogContinuing our music countdown to Halloween, we haven’t mentioned vampires yet.
And interestingly, one of my favorite vampire songs doesn’t mention vampires at all.
It’s an instrumental, you see. Produced by Joe Meek, yet.
FUN FACT: The footage in the video is not from a vampire film, or even a horror movie. It’s from The Last Laugh, a silent film from FW Murnau (of Nosferatu fame, so okay, there's sort of a vampire connection here) and one of the biggest films of the German Expressionist movement in the 1920s. It’s about a doorman at a posh hotel who gets demoted to lavatory attendant, and he lives in dread of everyone finding out the truth. Which they do.
I knew that film history class I took at grad school would pay off one day.
Don’t tell a soul,
This is dF
