more Jack Crow (“John Carpenter's Vampires”): Given director John Carpenter’s love of all things horror, it’s a wonder it took him so long to make a movie about vampires. James Woods plays Jack Crow, a hard-nosed mercenary and vampire expert in the employ of the Vatican. Having lost his family to vampires as a child, Jack sees this gig with the church as a means to an end: he gets paid and the vampires get dead. On this particular slaying expedition, things don’t go to plan, and Jack finds himself face to face with Valek (Thomas Ian Griffith), the progenitor of all unliving vampires. “Vampires” co-stars a Baldwin brother, though we’re not sure if it was Stephen, Billy, or Daniel.
