Inspiration

Sokol claimed to get the idea for Vampyr Theatre from the 1971 Hammer film, Vampire Circus, The Beatles' "Yellow Submarine", and the Grand Guignol theater.

Famous quotes containing the word inspiration:

    Poets should be lawgivers; that is, the boldest lyric inspiration should not chide and insult, but should announce and lead, the civil code, and the day’s work. But now the two things seem irreconcilably parted.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The ironies in the commonplace are my inspiration and delight.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
