The third paragraph in the production section (discussing prior vampire picture appearances by Udo Kier and Cary Elwes) fails to note that a third cast member, Willem Dafoe, also appeared in a prior vampire picture, The Hunger (1983). It is also noteworthy that Nicholas Cage, listed as producer, starred in Vampire's Kiss (1988). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.226.77.162 (talk) 00:51, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Sphere[edit]

I´m not really a friend of vampire lore; before I was 32, I disgusted the complete theme; then, I started to wonder, this might be a scheme to blackmail ordinary people. I.e., in vampire lore, I wonder, is it considered to be beyond suspicion for vampires to even have a shadow? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:4DD7:36D0:0:153F:60B6:FB38:C9C1 (talk) 00:26, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Expansion[edit]

In my research when expanding the article on Merhige's feature film debut Begotten, I have uncovered a significant amount of sources and information for Shadow of the Vampire. Frankly, I am over being surprised by how underdeveloped certain articles are but, in spite of myself, I still can't believe that this article is not expanded to at least C class given the amount of information and sources there are on this film. Anyways, the entire article requires SIGNIFICANT expansion which I shall detail below the tasks that need to be accomplished:

Themes- Information on the film's various themes found in the film.
Production (Development, Casting, Filming)- MAJOR expansion of the film's production section, with sub-sections detailing the film's development, casting, and filming added and expanded upon.
Soundtrack- TRack listing and other information detailing the film's soundtrack.
Theatrical/Home media releases- Since this section is missing from the article, some major addition and expansion is needed to detail the film's various theatrical (film festivals, and regular theatrical release), and home media releases will need to be added to the article.
Reception (Critical response, and awards/nominations)- As the article stands, both the reception and "awards" section should be merged into the reception section as sub-sections detailing the film's critical response, and awards/nominations.
Legacy- Adding and expanding upon the film's legacy and the influence (if any) it has had upon other works/artists.

There is a lot of work needed to be done with this article, and unfortunately I am unable to do it since I am currently SWAMPED with other projects. Hopefully someone comes along and gives this article the attention it needs to make GA as it could EASILY garner that status due to the amount of available information on it.--Paleface Jack (talk) 18:21, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Considering the release date, wouldn't this be the last wide-release movie of the 20th Century?[edit]

Seems like something that would be fairly noteworthy, being the last of the whole century,
