The tragic irony would be at the end of each movie, the twins get fed up with where they're at and think: - joining the army will win them the respect for a better life, - having fought to save the country they'll get respect at home, - now they have the booze & bucks to get a better life--at home.

Those all sound like great movies. They sound more like dramas than horror, though. As a horror fan, I'd enjoy movies about the vampire twin, I forget which one that was. I'd also enjoy the origin story of the bad guy vamp. And being Irish, one of the Irish myth. There's a whole cinematic universe.

Also would so watch a movie about the Choctaw vampire hunters.

Agreed. HUNTERS--A SINNERS' STORY about young Chayton, growing up in the Choctaw tribe. First tragic encounter with a vampire. Training to be a Hunter. Leading a squad. Meeting Remmick. Hunting Remmick to a shack. Next day tracking him to a burnt juke & a silver guitar plate with blood fused to it.

SINNERS' AFTERMATH Over Sammie's objections, 14yo Lisa convinces him to show her the juke. He returns the distraught teen home before leaving for Chicago. Stack & Mary hid from the sun in a crate but overheard Smoke's death & Lisa's wailing. At night, they buried the bodies & dispersed the cars....

... Towing the last car away, Stack & Mary stopped at a gas station / diner to refuel--where the hunters were eating. Chayton recognized the car from the juke so the squad confronted the couple, who smiled & warned them off. The smugness. That was the tell. Each man pulled out a wooden stake...

...Chayton was stunned. Stack said they cleaned the juke site because dead clan & missing white women? Nightmare for black folk. Mary pulled out signed divorce papers from Ben's family lawyer. His family hated her & her "heritage". They wedded more to spite them. Now they could leave for Sin City.
