	About Vlad Rok
		Vlad Rok started as an attempt by Dj erikvonerik to have a live version of his late night radio show "Phantom Motel" (broadcasted on WRCT FM, Pittsburgh) The chance finally arrived in 1999, after attending a couple Chiller Theater Conventions and making connections with monster rock bands and labels.
		In 2000 the venue was chosen, The Beehive Theatre (now closed), in Oakland, PA. The venue for Vlad Rok, by necessity, has to be in a theater, because as a part of erikvonerik's crazy idea, monster movies HAVE to be playing simultaneously while the bands perform.
		Amanda is the anchor of the Vlad Rok craft, keeping order and wrapping it all up in a psychedelic bow.

		Much of Vlad Tepes' acts are brushed aside in the framing story of Dracula being interrogated by the priests in 1476 as "stories" by Dracula himself and this just seems like a kind of cop-out.
		I realize we don't need to see Dracula cutting the breasts off of women and such, but there was PLENTY of more hard-hitting material that could have been put in there.
		I'd rather they didn't go that route, but then the end of Vlad's life is a bit anti-climactic.
