Nilsson 的吸血鬼人性化的愛情故事在 1973 英國已風行開了-也拍了電影自己演。 他的 Without you描寫吸血鬼之戀 air suply 也翻唱過 加上午夜牛郎的 everybody talking -1969(Nilsson成名作)
安萊絲 的小說應該是在這後面 把牛郎跟吸血鬼混合成同性戀吧....
Midnight Cowboy (1969) (singer: "Everybody's Talkin'") (as Nilsson)

When approached by Ringo Starr to star with him in Son of Dracula (1974), Nilsson at first thought the idea had come from his recent 'Son of Schmilsson' album, which included some horror-movie motifs; Starr had played drums on some of the songs. Starr hadn't seen the finished album, and knew nothing of it until shown a copy later by then-wife Maureen. Nilsson starred as young Count Down (the Son of Dracula1973), while Starr played the aged Merlin the Magician. Both knew the movie wasn't going to be a hit while they were making it, but they enjoyed working together.
