tinhuvielartanisThe beach scene in Queen of the Damned is one of my all-time favourite movie scenes. The music is haunting and stirs my blood, and the whole atmosphere captures the Vampiric.
There's something about Gypsy music that clings to the soul of the Vampire like no other music. The Romany Gypsies and their brethren tapped into an otherworldliness that's off limits to other humans. Perhaps that's why non-Gypsies were so prone to banish the Rom from their villages and communities. They harboured an unknown and unspoken jealousy of those who could truly See.
