   CBR TV: Juliet Landau Finds ‘A Place Among the Dead’ in New Vampire   
   Documentary   
      
   Actress Juliet Landau is no stranger to vampires, having played Drusilla on   
   the cult classic television show “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and its spinoff   
   “Angel.” These days, however, she’s spending a lot more time behind the   
   camera as she and her husband Deverill Weekes explore the vampire phenomenon   
   in a two-part documentary series, “A Place Among the Dead” and “A Place   
   Among the Undead.”   
      
   At Comic-Con International in San Diego, Landau joined CBR TV’s Jonah   
   Weiland just outside the world famous CBR Yacht on the almost-as-famous San   
   Diego Marriott Marina to discuss the project. In the interview, she   
   explained part one, “A Place Among the Dead,” focuses on true crime reality   
   when people take the fantasy of vampirism too far and the second, “A Place   
   Among the Undead,” explores every aspect of vampires in myth and pop   
   culture, from movies and TV to comics and literature.   
      
   The documentaries will feature a number of high-profile creators, including   
   Tim Burton, Joss Whedon, Gary Oldman, Willem Dafoe, Anne Rice, Robert   
   Patrick, Kevin Grevioux, Steve Niles and Georges Jeanty. Additionally,   
   Landau explained how she and Weekes created interlinking narrative pieces   
   which take place in locations like New Orleans and London.   
      
   On what she finds most interesting about vampires:   
      
   Julie Landau: I think the thing that’s been most fascinating (it’s one of   
   the reasons I wanted to make the documentary) is whenever I’ve come in   
   contact with other actors or creators of the vampire genre, we always tell   
   the most interesting, funny inside stories. I was like, ‘This needs to be on   
   film. People have to see this, to get inside it.’ It’s been a real   
   incredible journey to be on this side of it.”   
      
   On why she loves vampires:   
      
   I think it really started when I was playing Drusilla. I think that’s when   
   my fascination with it began, and then meeting all these people has been   
   just a real incredible joy. My husband and I are self-funding the project,   
   but it has continued to grow and grow and grow. We have so many amazing   
   people from all over the world that want to be interviewed, so we’re   
   actually going to launch an Indiegogo campaign. We have a number of   
   production companies that want to invest, but we want to make the   
   documentary that fans want to see and we want fans to be a part of film   
   history, to be a partner in making the definitive documentary about the   
   vampire phenomenon. We’re looking to raise $450,000.
