1 - Do you remember when you first watched it? Theater, VHS or DVD?
Not sure, probably watched it a few years after release on VHS....
2 - Did you get any feedback (from friends or media) prior to watching it?
Mostly remember the heavy (and deserved) criticism of Keanu Reeves
3 - How was your first viewing experience? Did you like Gary Oldman's take on the Count?
This is the movie that made me fall in love with camp, over blown cinema... I really hadn't seen anything as ridiculous or equally amazing as this movie before. Every colour, detail, action and line is delivered with total excess. I guess it would be wrong of me to ignore the women in this movie too. I'm sure I would have been around 14 or so when I first watched this movie and pretty much every woman in it is insanely sexy.
4 - How many times have you re-watched it since?
Lots.... probably still watch it around once every couple of years or so.
5 - Any special memories associated with it, that you wish to share?
Really just love this movie so much.... Over acted, over produced, over saturated colour and lighting, impossibly camp and ridiculous dialogue. Total invasion of the senses that really shouldn't work but I loved it on first viewing and still love it now. Everything a vampire (campire?) movie should be and then some....
Really enjoyed Cary Elwes' performance as Holmwood too.... But I am a huge fan of the Holmwood, Seward and Morris characters in general.
Most over acted line of the movie? There's the bastard! Courtesy of Keanu...
