AI notes: Vamp (1986) is a horror-comedy about two college students who visit a strip club to hire a dancer for a party, only to discover it's run by vampires. The club's star performer is a mysterious vampire queen, played by Grace Jones. As night falls, they must fight to survive and escape. The film mixes horror, dark humor, and stylish 1980s visuals, and has since gained a cult following.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their was really no reason to save it at the time.
The Village Voice was an American counterculture newspaper known for being the country's first alternative newsweekly. It introduced free-form, high-spirited, and passionate journalism into the public discourse - a tradition it maintained throughout its 60+ year history. It is quite common to find great political cartoons, satirical cartoons and articles, thought-provoking editorials, and ads and reviews for both concerts and theater productions - both on and off Broadway. Many iconic writers and musicians credit their appearance in The Village Voice for at least a portion of their success.
