    Adaptations Book Club: Interview With the Vampire

    I can’t imagine a tougher question than the one facing y’all at this month’s book club: Is the book really better when it comes to Interview With the Vampire? Because, like, Anne Rice’s classic novel about capricious bloodsuckers who love drama and each other is really good. But AMC’s television adaptation of the book features exquisite performances by lead actors Jacob Anderson, Sam Reid, and the captivating Delainey Hayles as Claudia. Join We Luv Video in discussing the pros and cons of these vamps’ media appearances and watch a screening of IWTV’s first two episodes among fellow Vampire Chronicle fans. – James Scott

    Carolina Gelen: Pass the Plate

    Puerto Rican singer/actor Ricky Martin learned English by watching Mister Rogers and Romper Room. Korean pop star RM and Cuban Spanish actress Ana de Armas practiced using Friends. Fittingly, Romanian chef Carolina Gelen studied cooking shows to learn and practice English, and only three years after moving to the U.S. from Transylvania, she’s got her own cookbook! Celebrate the release and hear more about her “easy, breezy style that emphasizes big flavor with a light lift” at this book event moderated by Eater’s Erin Russell. Gelen’s cookbook has gorgeous photos with each recipe, which her social media followers have gotten a taste of through her engaging videos instructing how to make everything from a sesame-crusted breakfast quesadilla to a showstopping orange-cardamom cake. – Kat McNevins

    Party for the Parks

    My first ACL Fest was within the festival’s own first couple of years in 2002, when it was only one weekend and kind of small potatoes compared to the behemoth it is now. But even then, the impact of the fest on the park was evident, which is why C3 Presents partnered with Austin Parks Foundation in 2006 to mitigate that impact with funds for park improvement projects, to the tune of $63 million so far. Party for the Parks is a fun way to contribute to the cause and get a taste of the VIP life at ACL with Austin Parks Foundation: Meet other park lovers, play games, bid on auction items, enjoy bevs and snacks, and take in an intimate performance by Orville Peck, all to benefit Austin’s hundreds of lovely parks, trails, and green spaces. – Kat McNevins

    Special Screenings

    Shadow of the Vampire (2001)

    Shadow of the Vampire resurrects a classic cinematic question: Was Max Schreck a vampire? Not Christopher Walken’s Batman Returns character, but the actual Max Schreck. He was the mysterious actor behind the first and arguably greatest screen vamp, Count Orlok in Nosferatu. This 2000 film speculates wildly about potential behind-the-scenes shenanigans. A bastion of comedic horror, it chronicles the suspiciously “method” Schreck and a film crew beset with bad luck. Getting a glimpse of the re-created Nosferatu film sets is a treat, but it’s the two leads that make this sparkle. Before checking out Dafoe in Robert Eggers’ remake, you’ve got to see him as the titular bloodsucker. It’s delightful to see him and John Malkovich (as director F.W. Murnau) run increasingly unhinged circles around each other. – Cat McCarrey
