Pete has taken to dedicating ‘A Little Less Sixteen Candles’ to Twilight, with introductions such as “This is a song about Edward Cullen, the bloodsucker”. In the past he’s also been known to say it’s about My Chemical Romance, presumably because they, too, are/were vampires.

In other news, William Beckett — head of the Dandies in the Sixteen Candles video — posted a photograph of his shopping selections at Best Buy, including ‘Let The Right One In’. You can find out more about this movie’s (tenuous) connection to the music video here.

Lastly, here’s a photograph of Pete and Alan on-set at the Sixteen Candles video.

At the FC messageboards, when asked about the 20-minute version, Andy said:

ya know, i cant even remember what the long version was. i dont think we fully finished it all. we were actually talking about this the other day, and brought up that we should just finish it all sometime soon.

From Patrick’s site PatrickStump.com:

I don’t like a lot of vampire movies. One amazing one is the F.W. Murnau’s classic silent film “Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Graunes” (more commonly just called “Nosferatu,” cause I mean, come on) in which Max Shreck plays the horrifying “Count Orlock” (a legally plagiarised Count Dracula). The great dark comedy “Shadow of the Vampire,” was based on the Hollywood legend that Shreck not only hadn’t made any other movie before, but his chilling performance was due to his actually being a real vampire. “Shadow of the Vampire,” featured John Malkovich as an overzealous film-maker and Willem Dafoe a Shreck, in this case a real vampire. This makes Dafoe one of the few actors to portray both Jesus Christ and some form of Count Dracula.

Dafoe (who’s real name is “William,” but kept it due to an interesting type-o) was originally considered for the role of the Joker in Tim Burton’s 1989 “Batman.” Oddly enough, its sequel “Batman Returns,” featured the equally creepy character actor Christopher Walken as a character also named “Max Shreck.”

It’s vaguely related, ok? It’s not like there’s a huge amount of new news to post here on a regular basis. William Beckett posted a youtube video of a Twilight fan here. It’s vampires and it’s the head Dandy, and since I’m the boss of this site I say it counts.

This one’s a great one: Interview with a video extra. Thank you so, so much, Liz.

Fall Out Boy have been talking about vampires quite a bit recently:

I saw ‘Let The Right One In’ last night. For those of you who need a reminder:

I sought out a showing of this flick, and found the answer at an indie theater (sort of ) in SoHo. I enjoyed it a lot, minus the crowd’s DVD commentary. It was equally horrific as it was captivating. There was more than just hints of romanticism and innocent, budding love as well. There were welcome campy moments, but an and all, it’s really nice to see the vampire genre re-defined, and done well. I recommend it if you don’t mind subtitles.

all the vampire stuff going on lately has got me thinking about the sixteen candles video..

there is a short movie version of this video that explains the relationship between bills character and mine. as well it explains the idea and paranoia that exists when one realizes that everyone is in on it. everyone is a vampire. i hope to get that out sometime. maybe if we ever get mythical 13th song from take this to your grave too.

oh and i lied about having a bootleg twilight on trl. im waiting for this lil baby i dont got time to buy bootlegs that dont exist yet.

Here are three more images from on-set which are yet to be added to the galleries:

And here are two images which aren’t directly related to the video but are sort of vaguely on the same topic. First is a poster for a Fall Out Boy show from Halloween 2007 in Miami, which features Pete as a vampire and the other three members as the Wolf Man, a Mummy, and Frankenstein’s Monster respectively.

And in Panic at the Disco’s video It’s Almost Halloween, Brendon plays a vampire while the other three members are the Wolf Man, a Mummy, and Frankenstein’s Monster respectively. Here’s the ‘cover art’ for the song and one still from the video, which is up on YouTube.

Pete Wentz, November 26, 2007:

on another note i put the vampire teeth from the sixteen candles video in when i went home for thanksgiving.
its funny cause that this the only time i thought i looked alright in the mirror.
is that weird?

Two new pages on the site: Let The Right One In and Brian Ewing’s “Fearless Vampire Killers” poster. Enjoy!

Content updates are coming soon, but for now enjoy some of the images which will soon be added to the galleries.
