Vampires, like humans, are creatures of habit. Lestat (Tom Cruise) was no exception. There was a pattern to his choice of victims in Interview with the Vampire. Those who figured it out could sleep a little easier during his nocturnal feedings, unless, of course, they were part of the menu.
His feedings usually began with a fresh, young girl. A gilded youth was the entrée
and then the blood of an Aristocrat (his favorite).
