AARON POPE: Vampire Clan is a true story that took place in 1996, it's about a group of teenager's who went on a killing spree, essentially, and when they were arrested it was found out that their excuse for doing so was that they thought that they were vampires.

(THE MAKING OF VAMPIRE CLAN: BASED ON A TRUE STORY)

AARON POPE: With the exception of perhaps Rod Ferrell the leader, these were not really kids from the wrong side of the tracks or anything like that. These were fairly normal middle class kids.

JOHN WEBB: It's a portrait of a very disturbing trend in our culture, which is kids who are filled with this anger and they have no outlet so they find creative and sometimes not so creative ways of expressing it, often with truly tragic consequences.

AARON POPE: I think everybody knows somebody, who when pushed the wrong way could possibly even turn out like these kids did.

DREW FULLER: Here's a kid, who since the day he was born, I mean, his mother molested him, his grandfather molested him, he was used in blood sacrifices, rituals, that sort of thing, I mean, he was heavily influenced with drugs. And so to get into that head, into the place where you know where there's basically flashes of darkness, but also flashes of innocence. He's like a little kid playing a game.

ALEX BREKENRIDGE: I liked playing her because I could kinda relate to her attachment to men. Because, um, she had history with her father and that whole thing, and I didn't really grow up with my father so I sort of knew where she was coming from in that aspect of it. At that age I could see myself, actually I did run away with my boyfriend at one point, so I could see myself doing that.

KELLY KRUGER: Heather Wendorf was a very confused girl, I feel. Um, She's you know that text book daughter of rich parents, and she's that individual who's kind of a loner, and kind of gothic, where her sister's like the perfect cheerleader. And I really enjoyed playing her because there were so many different, you know, angles that you could take with her, and there were so many different levels you could bring her to. And I really enjoyed exploring that.

TIMOTHY DEPRIEST: There was a lot of this vampire kind of dialogue in the movie. "When I get to New Orleans I'm going to prey upon the blood of tourist drinking from their veins" I was trying to figure out, how do you say that, and mean it? And the first thing that came into my mind is that that sounds like a Ronnie James DeHolt (?) lyric. So it just became a part of the character and a very, like, substantial part of the character that this kid, was just a rocker. Before doing the character I read a few books, there's a few books on the "Vampire Killers" or "Vampire Clan", that kind of pop culture sort of icons I guess, in a certain kind of twisted way.

JOHN WEBB: I think the thing that appeals most about vampires stories is, the darkness and the sexuality of the vampire icon.

ALEX BRECKENRIDGE: Blood sucking, um, the story book way they make the male vampire very seductive and he seduces his women and then, bite's them and turns them into vampires. It's pretty romantic, I think.

TIMOTHY DEPREIST: There's something very sexy about vampires, in films that I've see I mean 'Lost Boys' with Kiefer Sutherland. Who wouldn't want to be a vampire after seeing that?

JOHN LANGLEY: Half the fun with a film like 'Vampire Clan' is the casting. Everybody in the film has done lots of work, but they're not particularly known yet. Which makes them even hungrier, more energetic, more into their roles as pure actors.

JOHN WEBB: For a lot of them it's a first or second or third feature film so I really wanted to tap into their raw emotional state, uh, and relay it to the film.

AARON POPE: On the very first day that we were shooting, Drew, had a scene where he's confronting his girlfriend about her being pregnant and as it's scripted he bangs his fist against a wall and his knuckles begin to bleed. I don't think any of us knew that Drew was actually going to bang his fist into the wall and break his knuckles open, but he did. Works very well in the film.

DREW FULLER: We got to keep in mind the character is sixteen years old, and so he, he's cocky and I love playing cocky, because I'm a little bit cocky.

ALEX BRECKENRIDGE: We really just, like, kinda clicked.

KELLY KRUGER: We became you know an actual clan, we became like a family

TIMOTHY DEPRIEST: It was nice, kind of, to meet other actors and hang out with other actors and do things, learn from them and I kind of jump into these things head first and have no idea what I’m doing, so it was kinda nice to see other people with plans. (laughs).

DREW FULLER: (on set during filming): We wrapped at 11.30, what did you guys go after 11.30 or right on?
MARINA BLACK: We had a drink at the Barrel.
DREW FULLER: How many drinks? Hold it, wait, wait back up.
TIMOTHY DEPRIEST: We had one...
MARINA BLACK: One baker's dozen

DREW FULLER: I push buttons, I push button's on purpose, you know, just to kind of piss them off.

KELLY KRUGER: He really likes to get under your skin, until your about to pop, and once like, then once he knows he's gone too far, he'll kind of take a step back, and be like, I'm just kidding.

DREW FULLER: I try to always keep it in good fun.

DREW FULLER: (on set during filming) Kelly's really pissed at me and she's going to use all this shit, because she thinks that my sarcasm has been mean and cruel and relentless. And now she's using it all to conjure up some really angry thoughts about me to use it in our next scene. (looking into the camera) I think it's working.

KELLY KRUGER: (on set during filming) I need a man in my life, I need someone who knows what he wants out of life and he's working for it, not some little boy.

DREW FULLER: (Laughs)

JOHN LANGLEY: Ah John Webb. John Webb was discovered by myself and my co executive producer Maggie Langley. We wanted fresh blood to direct this film, we were looking for someone who was young, energetic, talented, who would bring some passion to the project.

DREW FULLER: John (Webb) knows exactly what he wants, you know, and he's not afraid to tell you. But he's also not afraid to, like if you come up with a good idea, he'll like think about it for a second (Overlaying footage of Drew in car asking of he can do something) 'Yeah I like that just make sure that you get this, but I think you can incorporate that'. I think that's phenomenal and we're as a cast, really lucky to have someone like that.

KELLY KRUGER: He's so encouraging and so motivating and so, he's just a pleasure to work with. You can never have a bad scene with John Webb by your side.

TIMOTHY DEPRIEST: He made it really relaxed and really comfortable for me. But it does get to be crazy, so you have to kinda allow a lot of serendipity, and ah a lot of things that just happen, and go with them, there's no really second guessing yourself.

ALEX BRECKENRIDGE: I think he had a pretty good way of getting across what he wanted from us as actors.

AARON POPE: It's very much his picture.

JOHN WEBB: (on set) Can I introduce you to flat Stanley, Stanley this is everybody.

JOHN WEBB: We really wanted to give this film a documentary feel. Because it is a true story. But we also wanted to augment that, with a look or a style, that sort of related to the audience, that this was not a documentary, that it's not pure reality. So we tried to make it look a little darker, a little sexier, in some segments a little detached from reality to sort of emulate that state that the character's were going through.

Miscellaneous Crew Member: (on set) And let's roll sound

AARON POPE: I think the most challenging sequence to film was the stuff in the house. The actual murder scene. Because for one thing you have the stunt sequence, you have you know fight scenes, and on top of that you have continuity issues I terms of blood, things of that nature, you know it's just a lot of little elements that take place in a million different shots, but they all have to work together.

JOHN WEBB: It was just the actors, taking a leap of faith with each other, with me and it was very challenging to depict these scenes in a way that was realistic, that wouldn't hurt the actors, but that also conveyed the brutality of these killings. I later found some photo's from the actual crime scene and it was amazing to me how much they looked like the crime scenes that we had created and the house that we had created. And it was purely coincidental, because we did not have access to these photo's before we began shooting.

TIMOTHY DEPRIEST: During the whole thing my character is basically watching it. He's not participating in it at all, and it's the turning point for Scott in the movie.

KELLY KRUGER: When push comes to shove and he witnesses the kind of sickness that went on down in the living room, when they slaughtered my parents, you see just like a true kid break. And it was just, to me it was unexpected and it was just brilliant.

DREW FULLER: I think by far my favourite scene in the movie was, the interrogation scene. Webb had set up these two semi-circle camera's, and so it's floating as I'm getting interrogated, and then obviously when the camera's not on me it's floating behind me, and so your like catching the back of me. (Drew shakes his bottom at the camera behind him)

DREW FULLER: (on set) This isn't for the DVD I pray to god.
MALE VOICE: Yes.

JOHN LANGLEY: I think audiences will respond to ‘Vampire Clan’ on two levels. One a pure entertainment level.

DREW FULLER: It is entertaining but at the same time it really sad.

JOHN LANGLEY: The other reason I think they will enjoy it and respond to it is it is a true horror story.

KELLY KRUGER: You know it’s disturbing of course because it really happened, but it makes, I think it’s a reality check, that this stuff really goes on.

TIMOTHY DEPRIEST: I’d hope to think there’s something to learn from it, but I’m not exactly sure that there is.
