Directed by Juliet Landau and Deverill Weekes, A Place Among the Dead is an exploration of the cultural obsession with vampires and what they reveal about the human psyche. Juliet has a rare vantage point, having portrayed the iconic vampire, Drusilla on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and spin-off show Angel.
The film delves into myths, movies, television, literature, music, comic books, subcultures and true crime. It chronicles the fun, imaginative, creative side and alternatively, the dark, disturbing side. Interviewees also include David Greenwalt, (co-creator Angel and Grimm), Mariana Klaveno (True Blood), David J (Bauhaus) and many others including a homicide detective who is working on a case directly linked into vampire subculture, where fantasy and death collide.
