I met Steakly at a con once, seemed like a nice guy.

It is loosely based on the book, Jack Crow (James Woods) is very much
the same character.  But much was changed, stuff cut, etc.  However,
this was a director with a pretty good vision, John Carpenter, and
the film is called "John Carpenter's Vampires", not "John Steakley's
Vampires".
