bloodthirsty, hunger and bloodlust
For fans of the undead, a favorite topic of debate remains comparing the various film versions of “Dracula.” Even limiting oneself to those explicitly based upon Stoker’s novel, over a dozen versions exist from “Nosferatu” (original and remake) to both Universal versions in 1930, both adaptations that starred Christopher Lee, all three BBC Draculas, the …
Everyone knows that vampires aren’t all that smart, at least anyone who knows anything about vampires. There are very simple rules to being a vampire, always dress in evening wear, shun away from holy objects, burst into flame in the sun, don’t enter a person’s home without first being invited and drink lots of blood. …
Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles are legendary in the world of vampire fiction. Her imaginative novels on the history of vampires have captivated countless readers. One of my favorite parts in the books is when we learn how vampires came to exist. Many authors write about vampires, but few go into how the first vampire was …
Lilith is a mystery. There are varying accounts of who or what Lilith is, including references to her in the Talmud as a demon. Some traditions hold that Lilith was the first wife of Adam. And some lore, of course, tells of Lilith as being a vampire. There’s a lot of contradicting information out there. …
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3q5p0O-6ZE Trouble I love how HBO is considerate (for viewers, anyway) enough to catch us up before each new episode, because seriously, the last episode was busy. Plus, there’s that additional bonus at the end, where they show us a quick preview of the next episode too. And even a ‘Post-Mortem’! HBO packs all our …
Dawn was, in my opinion, the most annoying person in the Scooby Gang. She was Buffy’s whiny little sister. In her original form though, she was a mystical power, a living energy known as The Key. If used, The Key would cause dimensions to open into one another, causing mass chaos. The monks of the …

Sweetblood is a fantastic young adult vampire book. I read it when I was a teenager, and felt really connected to the main character, Lucy Szabo. She’s a girl who feels like she is different from others, and thinks that no one can really understand her. Unique, right? But in that common experience, this book …
A kind of psychic vampire, the tikoloshe (or tokoloshe) is a creature of the Xhosa people of Lisotho and the southernmost African plains. Like many supernatural beings in Africa, the tikoloshe is a mixture of vampire and demon, and has a strong association with witches and sorcerers. In many Xhosa legends the tikoloshe is a …
The Aztecs were a pretty bloodthirsty culture. And their myths included many bloodthirsty deities who were very similar to vampires. One lord of the underworld was similar to a vampire, as he fulfilled his hunger by devouring the souls of the dead. The cihuateteo of Aztec lore were the creatures who were most similar to …
I’m talking about the Twilight Saga of course. There’s a whole lot of Twilight hate out there, but do these people hate the books themselves or is it the fans and all of the hype that they hate? Here’s the conversation that brought about this post, a conversation I have had countless times now. Hater: …
In February, Moonlight filled us in on the fabulous looking vampire comedy, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Undead; finally, there is more news about when we can see the film in theaters, plus, what some of the cast members, –most of them typecast in Mafia or wiseguy roles, –thought of starring in a vampire film. John …

…my friends. That’s right, I went onto facebook and asked my friends and family what their favorite vampire movie is. Luckily I got quite the variation of favorites since those that answered were all different ages. But before I reveal how awesome my friends are, I challenge all of you to post the question on …

Interview with the Vampire is a book by Anne Rice, which I’m sure all you vampire lovers know all too well. It was released on film in 1994, and has become one of the most well known vampire films of today. And it is a pretty spectacular film. It has the theme of the struggle …
A popular discussion on our posts is the whole Team Edward or Team Jacob ordeal. Our readers really battle it out with one another over which man is better, so I thought I’d give you guys an official arena to fight in. But first, let’s take a look at the pros and cons of Jacob …
Nicolas Cage has been getting a lot of attention lately from the movie studios, in the midst of so much vampire stuff, –it’s funny, for anyone who remembers ‘Vampire’s Kiss’, to see Nick Cage trying to compete with the vampire craze, when 20 years ago, he was starring in his own weirdass vampire movie. I …
Finally! I’ve been hearing about this movie for so long, and was completely unable to find any new information about it. Even friends have been pestering me, –why don’t -I- have the scoop on ‘Suck’? I’m supposed to KNOW these things! Of course, you can’t tell your audience that you’re not psychic, and you can’t …
