AMC's Interview With the Vampire premiered in 2022 to critical acclaim but the show's sophomore season, released in 2024, was a game-changer for the fandom. Somehow, the show only got better with its new installment, giving us incredible performances and heartbreakingly addicting moments. This show is seriously slept on, but that makes being a fan of it even more special while bonding with the other dedicated fans.

How this fandom is changing entertainment
As one of the best horror shows of the past decade, Interview With the Vampire is leading the baton when it comes to proving this genre is more than most give it credit for. The horror genre is often written off as shallow or silly — but fans know that’s certainly not always the case. On the contrary, this show shows that horror can be incredibly thought-provoking and moving. The fact that the fandom is so passionate about it only spreads the word further.
Why you should join this fandom
The fandom might be on the smaller side, but it is mighty. AMC has not disclosed the show’s viewership numbers, but the fact that it is so well-received in critic reviews and beloved by general audiences certainly means something. The queer love story — which is updated so that protagonist Louis, a white character in the books, is Black — is an incredibly compelling reimagining of the classic tale with meaningful changes. Being part of this fandom means embracing life and love.
