Black Vampire

After Reese and I had been "devoured"... it's either that or they drink you're blood and you're "initiated"... but they are almost finished with the movie, so they just wanted to kill us.






Reese and vampire that spit blood in his ear.






The entire "Black Vampire" cast and crew.






With two of the seven "black vampires"... the one in the front called herself "The Bride"...









Interesting few days in Bamenda. Staying at the Ayaba hotel… the upscale spot in town. They have air conditioning, elevators… other amenities previously thought unattainable in the NW. I got them to lower their rate for we Peace Corps and I think I have found a new addiction in Africa.

Yesterday evening, while having a set menu meal in their dining room, we encountered several whorish looking women heading out to the pool. They had fangs. A flood light was set up, noticed a camera and a lot of hub bub. Turns out, the hotel was providing a venue for the shooting of “Black Vampire,” one of those awful African movie productions. A guy we had met the night before introduced us to the director, and I suggested that we should be cast in the movie (with my experience as a nun in the Sound of Music, I thought actress in vampire flick would be apropos). They were really happy to slay a couple of Americans speaking simple English.

Pictures should say it all… we were “devoured” by vampires on the floor of the clubhouse after being hypnotized and drawn in by their special powers. Fake blood all over my new Michigan State sweatshirt (that I bought in the market behind Commercial Avenue in Bamenda, by the way). We have a few lines (I call Reese a woman). Should be out in a couple of months… we might be on the movie posters and plan to provide all with copies.

SO funny.
