Together, they explore the film’s lush, lived-in costumes designed by Bina Daigeler, its devotion to texture and time, and what it means to be stylishly undead in a world that’s lost its soul.So dim the lights, put a record on, and join us for a moody reflection on immortality, creativity, and love that never dies.

This week on The Art of Costume Podcast, we return to Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe with AMC’s Interview with the Vampire.

To sink our fangs into the first season, special guest Laura Brody joins the costume coven to discuss her work as Assistant Costume Designer—bringing to life the hauntingly elegant world of Louis, Lestat, and Claudia. Then, Spencer and Elizabeth rise from their coffins to break down the second season, filled with theatrical vampires, a lavish trip to France, heartbreak, betrayal, and plenty of coffin talk.

Spooky Season is officially here, and we’re kicking off our “Hot Vampire” series with Joel Schumacher’s cult classic, The Lost Boys. Join Spencer and Elizabeth as they ride into Santa Carla to sink their teeth into the film’s unforgettable costumes, designed by Susan Becker. From David’s iconic vampire coven dripping in leather and attitude to The Frog Brothers, Michael's earring, the Jim Morrison inspiration, and Schumacher’s unmistakable designer flair—this episode celebrates the wild, rebellious style that made The Lost Boys immortal.
