In 2002, Allan Menzies murdered his friend Thomas McKendrick after watching Queen of the Damned over 100 times. By no means was the link that tenuous.

Menzies claimed that one night he was visited by Akasha, a female vampire in the movie. He claimed that she ordered him to kill people and in return she would award him eternal life as a vampire.

"In general terms, she started off having conversations with me and it ended up that I had basically agreed with her that if I murdered people I would be rewarded in the next life," he said.

After Menzies stabbed his childhood friend with a bowie knife and beat him with a hammer, he drank his blood and ate some his flesh, before burying him in a shallow grave. The body was found 6 weeks later.
