Whenever I mention the subject of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, my sister becomes stubborn and frankly philistine about it because she point-blank refuses to watch.
Her excuses are varied, and even admitted to giving “That one with all the singing” a try, but she just doesn’t ‘get it’.
So I offer to show her single tastes, the creamy top of addictive crack-Whedonesquism.
The ‘Hush’ episode. ‘Graduation.’ Or, my favourite ever, ‘Fool for Love.’
Nup.
However, I know she’ll bite (ha ha. vampire, geddit?!) here. Because as much as she declares her hate for Buffy I am her secret keeper and I know she has a love of ole’ for Rocky Horror Picture Show.
I first Twittered about this YouTube clip ages ago and was amused with the few IM’s I got on it. Seems no-one knew ASH’s theatrical past (neither did I).
So for the lovers of pop culture pastiche (among other terms I could mention, I guess!) I give you:
I’ll leave critical assessment up to you guys…For me, look, not the best rendition ever.
BUT.
I’d still go see him in the real thing.
