What I often refer to as “the four essential archetypes” or “the four genders” (vampire, werewolf, cowboy, and pirate) are on like a graph in my mind. Looks like this

They’re not perfect opposites but they’re pairs that are each kind of spectrums to me? Vampires and werewolves are very often opposed to each other when in the same piece of media. And pirates and cowboys I can’t really explain. Maybe it’s the hats.

Anyway I figured out why I like Bruce Campbell so much

It's Sunday and here I am, cranking away horror recommendations, because I love you. mwah.

SUNDOWN: THE VAMPIRE IN RETREAT

Vampire/ Horror Comedy

Reclusive vampires have taken up residence in a small town in the south west. They have a pretty idilic life, but thats all messed up when a human family moves to town, followed by a descended of Van Helsing. Can they keep up their private life, or will the nasty vampires take over?

You should watch if: You like vampire movies AND westerns. You love 80's movies that are so obviously 80's. You love Bruce Campbell ESPECIALLY when he's in full himbo mode.

Available to watch on Amazon Prime, Vudu, Apple TV

(If you like this try; What We Do In The Shadows, The Lost Boys, Renfield, Van Helsing, From Dusk Til Dawn)
