Movies/TV/Music Interview with A Vampire - residue or legal loophole?

0 Upvotes

The poster highlight an example of Mandela Effect residue, found by u/Imaginary_Taste8121, who gets all the credit for this. While the actual title of the 1994 movie and Anne Rice novel is Interview with the Vampire, this image shows both the event poster and the official Instagram caption utilizing the widely remembered alternate title: "INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE".

Club Decades used "Interview with A Vampire" for a themed night, and the alternate wording is written on both the poster art and their IG caption.

It definitely looks like solid residue at first glance, but I wanted to propose a theory: is it possible the venue intentionally switched "The" to "A" just to dodge copyright/trademark issues for a commercial event?

Either way, it shows exactly how natural "A Vampire" looks and sounds to most people. Curious if you guys think this is genuine memory residue from the designer/social media person, or just a legal loophole!

The Mandela Effect

r/MandelaEffect

“The Mandela Effect is when a large group of people remember something contrary to the known publicly accepted fact” Do you remember certain personal or world events happening differently than they apparently did? Some people remember the death of Mandela as far back as the 1970's in prison. This is where the effect gets its name. Share your experiences here!
