"What she needs to live is to eat lots of salt.
But that’s who she is. It’s not really her fault.
She'll appear to you as what you most desire.
That's why they call her the Salt of Vampire."
That's a poem by Darren Dingus.
Hi, today we are talking about Salt Vampire. In these dark times of The Acolyte thirst posts and 4th of July fireworks hurting my ears, we bring to you a kind a simple video. A pointless video really. A video that won't get the views of someone yelling into a microphone about a Star War, but to us it's important. We recently became the new owners of a dusty old reel of film from the original Star Trek series as well as the mold that was used to make the infamous Salt Vampire mask from the TOS episode "The Man Trap". Two items from the private collection of model maker Greg Jein. You see, when we get props we like to do fun things with them. Most times that ends up in us damaging them. But this time we decided to do something productive: Use the Salt Vampire head mold to recreate the original mask (and costume) as best we could with our limited skills. I think someone may have also done this with the mold. But I assure you, this was done with more love and much less skill.
