bloodthirsty, hunger and bloodlust
We’ve got quite a few Twilight fans on the site, but do any of you love it enough to actually get a Twilight tattoo inked to your skin for all eternity? Cathy Ward of Berkshire, England does. The 49-year-old Twi-hard has so far endured 22 hours of sitting and dished out £2,200 (around $3500) for …
As most of us learned in school, Egypt is one of the world’s first great civilizations, but according to many vampirologists, Egypt was also the birthplace of vampires. Ancient Egypt views on death and the afterlife were complex, yet very positive. While most other cultures viewed death as horrifying and terrifying, the ancient Egyptians saw …
There’s a YouTube clip attached somewhere here, –I haven’t decided where to put it just yet. And, the plan is to discuss what goes on in Ep. 13, titled ‘Daddy Issues’, for obvious reasons, if you saw the end of Ep. 12, ‘The Descent’, already. If not, SPOILER ALERT!, but her Daddy, Johnathan Gilbert comes …
Our beloved TV show Buffy the Vampire Slayer lasted for seven seasons and then sadly went off the air in 2003 – but it didn’t end there. Buffy creator Joss Whedon continued the story in the Season 8 comic book series, which just finished its 40-issue run. Luckily, Season 9 is on the way and …
The on-going, sometimes halting, production of the film adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith’s novel, ‘Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter’, has scored yet another victory by landing Benjamin Walker as its star, the vampire-slaying Abraham Lincoln. If the name doesn’t sound familiar, it’s because that, despite winning out over names like ‘Adrien Brody’ in the auditions, Walker hasn’t …
The Dissertatio de Vampyris (also known as Dissertatio de Vampiris) is a pseudoscientific treatise (a formal and systematic explanation in writing of the beliefs of a subject, generally longer and more detailed than an essay) written by Johann Heinrich Zopfius and Francus von Dalen on Serbian vampires. Written in a time when the fear of …
The Descent This episode was very emotional, especially for me and Damon. Emotional for me, because I’m a cryer, –Vampire Diaries makes me bawl, most episodes. While everyone is running around, worried about Elena, who appears to be giving in to Klaus, taking the easiest way out, Damon is dealing with the loss of his …
Later on, I’ll be doing the Vampire Diaries synopsis, which, I know you love, because I know you missed me, –and normally I wouldn’t tell you, but I’m just so excited about being able to do it again! But I have to say, all the hub-bub about the new advertising campaign for The Vampire Diaries. …

Okay, we’re back with more of the so-called ‘interview’ with Bill Schnoebel/en, –which I don’t get by the way. Several sources give the name ‘Schnoebel’ while the other 50% of sources call him ‘Schnoebelen’. Either way, his name is synonymous with ‘bullshit’. And speaking of big steaming piles of crap, the beginning of the fifth …
I have finally joined the Kindle masses! Yes, at long last I own a Kindle! After I was finished staring at it, petting it and whispering compliments to it’s pretty screen, I decided it was probably time to actually put something to read on it, so I hit up Amazon and, well, my love for …
There are actually some subtle differences in the way these two shows are laid out; many viewers who were dedicated to the original UK version of Being Human have argued that the original is better, because blah blah blah. But there are some very dissimilar attributes on either side of the fence. Sure, some of …
“True Story of a Vampire” is actually a short story written by Count Eric Stanislaus Stenbock. The story was published in London in 1894 in “Studies of Death,” a collection of stories which received favorable comment by H. P. Lovecraft himself. In all honesty, “True Story of a Vampire is a horribly written story (seriously, …
The actor portraying Alcide Herveaux on True Blood, is getting married, finally, to his fiancee Audra Marie, an actress and model. On top of that great news, he’s also planning to invite the entire cast of True Blood to his wedding. I wonder what their favors will be; I’m guessing, little Sookie dolls, or maybe, …

Today’s post is a little different, instead of me recommending vampire books to you, I’m asking for you to help me out. You see, there’s a type of vampire book I’m looking for, a book that may or may not exist, and since so many of you here are big book geeks like me, you …
Oh plushy vampire baby toys! Yayyyyy! Your baby’s first stuffed animal could be a baby werewolf/cockroach, also known as the ‘Wereroach” which looks more like a furry alien baby than anything, if you ask me. Or, the more adorable and less disgusting, ‘Zombie Guinea Pig’ which is pink, my favoritest color ever, and black, my …
The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation just released the nominations for its 22nd annual GLAAD Media Awards Thursday (January 20). Television shows such as “Glee” and “Pretty Little Liars” are in the running to win, as are films like “Burlesque” and “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.” But most importantly, one of our favorites vampire …
It remains one of the iconic images of the vampire. Lengthened, piercing teeth, usually (but not always) the bicuspids or eye teeth. Sometimes they stretch to the point of becoming tusks or the saber-teeth of the extinct Smilodon. Other times just a subtle increase in length and reshaping creates the effect. Especially since the Hammer …
