"I Pass the vale. I breast the steep.

I bear the cross: the cross bears me."

-- John Charles Earle

Oxford Book Of Mystical Verse
                         FADE IN:

          THE MOON. So fat and full in the night sky you can reach out

and touch it.
          HICKS W. 0.

          This is what's known: There has always

been man...and there have always been

vampires.

BLACK SHAPES swoop past the moonscape, vicious looking things.

Much shrieking and wailing.

Atop a STONE ZIGGURAT -- We see a GROUP OF MEN -- AZTEC

WARRIORS readying themselves with PRIMITIVE WEAPONS --

SLINGS, BOWS, SPEARS. Tonight they know they will die.
                         HICKS (CONT'D)
