🎸 The Set List

~ [ 00:00:20 ] "Detroit" with Lauren McAllister & Kim Morrison

Lestat reflects on the publication of Interview with the Vampire and the events leading up to his massive rock tour as lead singer of the band Satan's Night Out, a drug-fuelled spiritual trip, and his destructive showdown with a resentful local vampire coven.

~ [ 00:53:45 ] "Toledo" with Kim Morrison

Lestat revisits his human origins in Auvergne and explores Toledo alongside his newly reconnected—and deeply complicated—vampire mother, Gabriella. Amidst rising tensions within the band, there's also a tense legal showdown with a disgruntled hotel owner: Louis de Pointe du Lac.

~ [ 01:35:30 ] "Toronto" with Kim Morrison

Daniel Molloy finally gets a difficult Lestat in the documentary hot seat, probing into his history as a Parisian actor, his heartbreaking dynamic with Nicolas, and his agonising transformation by vampire Magnus. Meanwhile, we track Louis heading back to Detroit to violently settle some long-unfinished business with Bruce, the vampire who kidnapped Claudia.
