Interview with the Vampire season 1 episode 5: The boiling point

As you prepare for Interview with the Vampire season 1 episode 5 on AMC next week, this could be a story about family. Or, to be specific, what happens when Claudia leaves only to then come back later.

Is this episode, titled “A Vile Hunger for Your Hammering Heart,” going to be full of surprises? We tend to think so, but it’s also going to be a chance to learn more about vampires in general — or at least the ones that come through the Anne Rice mythology.

Below, you can check out the full Interview with the Vampire season 1 episode 5 synopsis with more news as to what lies ahead:

Claudia leaves home for a college sojourn and to learn more about vampires; Louis and Lestat live through the Depression and received surprising news from Louis’ sister; tensions in the family come to a boiling point when Claudia returns.

Obviously, the challenge for an episode like this is simply covering a substantial amount of ground in a short period of time. That’s a part of the ambition that comes with a show like this. You have a lot that you’re trying to pull off in a short period of time, and the hope here is mostly that you can pay off a lot of what you’ve set up. It can be risky!

In the end, though, we’re pretty darn happy with what we’ve seen so far this season; while the series has certainly taken its fair share of liberties from the source material, that doesn’t mean that it is stumbling around or being altogether unsure of itself. The relationship between Louis and Lestat is of course at the heart of the series, and we’ll continue to see that expand through whatever is left.

What do you most want to see when it comes to Interview with the Vampire season 1 episode 5?

Be sure to share right now in the attached comments! Once you do just that, come back — there are other updates coming that we don’t want you missing.
