Why would Lestat be afraid of a helicopter light?


In 1988, when he met Louis again, helicopters have existed for almost 50 years. How come half a century was not enough time for him to realize such a thing as a helicopter existed and light it emitted was artificial and totally harmless to him? Did he spend a fair amount of time in some kind of isolation?

I believe after he was burned he went into isolation and went underground I believe to sleep and awoke in 198-something. There is a post
on here somewhere,where someone mentions it. :)

To me, it looked more like Lestat reacted to the helicopter due to his trauma and isolation, not so much because he literally wouldn't know what a helicopter light is.
It's like if you consolidate a war veteran who has a trauma if he gets shocked by a firework.

Well, if Lestat knows how to drive a car, as is shown in the movie ending, I doubt he doesn't know what a helicopter is. He was probably surprised and/or still weak when this happened.

The real question is, WHY THE FUCK DID A HELICOPTER COME DOWN & HOVER NEXT TO A RANDOM MAUSOLEUM, SHINE ITS LIGHT IN THERE, AND THEN FLY AWAY

& why did Louie think this was completely normal
