    FADE IN:



1   EXT. LAFAYETTE CEMETERY (NEW ORLEANS) - NIGHT               1



An empty breeze blows across a deserted cemetery. We

hear the sound of FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING, then nineteenth-

century boots ENTER FRAME. We FOLLOW them strolling past

the headstones and mausoleums. The sound of a HORSE and

CARRIAGE ECHOES in the distance.
                             VOICE (V.O.)

               There comes a time for every vampire

when the idea of eternity becomes

momentarily unbearable...
As we REACH an old stone tomb, the boots leap up and OUT

OF FRAME. PAN UP to reveal:
A FIGURE stands steadily atop the roof of the tomb,

silhouetted against the moon like a large, black bird.
                       VOICE (V.O.)
