ot even Sweden was immune to the Vampire Revival Craze of 2008. Whereas goth tweens and their middle-aged Midwestern moms got wet for Twilight and HBO’s True Blood, Tomas Alfredson’s Let the Right One In served up boners to both horror and indie fans alike. It had such buzz that an American remake is already in the works for 2010. And since we don’t have the best reputation for adapting films, the chances of grasping the true heart of the story — an innocent romance that burgeons between the helpless Osker and protective Eli — are unlikely as the studio heads demand more ketchup blood.

Ripping off Butter Team’s “zany mash-ups,” here’s Make-Out Music using a vampirical idiom to introduce a mash-up of a movie that had more bark than bite with music by Swedish trip-hop duo Plej.
