bloodthirsty, hunger and bloodlust
Don’t get me wrong, I love The Vampire Diaries, and I love True Blood, but there’s something going on here that not a whole lot of people are talking about. There is a lot of play on the minorities in both shows. I have a list actually, of weird little facts about the two shows. …
While scanning the latest and greatest vampire news I came across something that some of you just might enjoy – Bite Marks, a comedy by Mark Bessenger. Synopsis: “When Brewster’s older brother goes missing, he must take over a cross-country delivery of coffins to a funeral home. Attempting to stay awake, Brewster picks up Cary …
No, seriously, that’s what we’re talking about. A True Blood-themed Mexican restaurant in Connecticut of all places. South Norwalk , CT is home to all kinds of ghouls and goblins; where I’m from, we call them Yankees or “them people from up north”. And they’re adding vampires to the list now? As if New England …
Vampires and Romance? Do they go together? Well, apparently they do if you look at the tremendous rise in vampire romances on the book shelves over the past years. Romance, overall, is the top seller in mass market paperbacks, beating out Horror, Thrillers, Sci/Fi, and Mystery. But can you really apply romance to a story …
The BBC’s dramedy “Being Human,” about a ghost, a werewolf, and a vampire sharing a flat and trying to lead normal lives, is so popular that is has been ripped off and turned into an American remake, which is set to premiere on SyFy January 17. The original is just about to go into its …
Most films never cause half the furor as “Lemora” did. The Catholic League of Decency (a now-absorbed organization with the joke-tempting acronym of CLOD) went on the warpath when this flick appeared. Got it pretty much banned, except in France where it attained some cult status. Later folks re-discovered it in the 1990s. But why? …

First off, if you haven’t seen season 3 yet, then SPOILER ALERTS! We’re getting ready for major show withdrawal over here. The Vampire Diaries is off until January 27th, True Blood doesn’t come back until summer, The Gates was canceled, –ah, life cannot get any worse! But in the meantime, we’re still cooking up lots of …
At long last “Let Me In,” the American remake of the Swedish film “Let the Right One In,” is finally hitting store shelves. The big date? February 1, 2011. “From Matt Reeves – the writer/director of Cloverfield – comes the new vampire classic that critics are calling “chillingly real” (Scott Bowles, USA Today) and “one …
First: Spoiler Alert! for anyone, living on the moon, or Mars, or Alaska, who hasn’t seen season 3 of True Blood yet. Now, moving on. One of my favorite subjects is, and always has been epitaphs; famous epitaphs, Latin epitaphs, and very sad epitaphs. Generally, I have something of a theme for each part of …
While reading a book on vampires I came across a name I had never heard of before – Gabrielle de Launay. The book tells of her romantic, yet sad, story of love, life and death. While fascinating, her story, which went to trial in Paris in 1760, didn’t bring “vampire” to mind, yet here it …
Since Breaking Dawn, the fourth book in the Twilight Saga, is such a big important book in the series, all of the Twi-hards out there have a million questions when it comes to turning that book into two movies. Up until now there was zero info on the films, but at long last we have …
While scanning the latest vampire blogs and news I came across a list of the top vampire movies, and well, it was horrible (Van Helsing should never be on a top 10 vampire movie list). So I got my google search on and looked up other vampire movie lists, and of course, those were all …
The People’s Choice Awards aired last night, and well, it was definitely a disappointment for all of us vampire fans out there. After seeing the list of winners I can’t help but think that this wonderful vampire craze is dying out. There were ten categories that featured vampire nominees, yet only few won. Sad sad. …
Those readers who cannot stomach the syrupy sweetness and sparkle-skinness (is that a word?) of “Twilight,” proceed and learn some good news. Or bad. Depends on your point of view, really. Suffice to say the tale of Edward and Bella might have been much, much worse. Some debate exists in terms of ordinary cinema over …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer stopped airing new episodes on TV way back in 2003 when season 7 ended, but fans are still able to turn to the comics to read up on their favorite characters in season 8 – but now even that is coming to an end. It’s been a long and crazy road …
I recently chatted with Benjamin Jones, the author of the new series Humanity’s Ultimate Battle (H.U.B.), on Horror Fest, his vampire loves (and hates), his writing and much more. Check it out and let us know what you think in a comment below. Can you tell us a little about yourself? I am 33 years …
Detective fiction, according to some, is dying. At least on the printed page, as readers increasingly demand only one type of such story (Police Procedural, Locked Door, etc.) and refuse to glance at any others. Maybe. But in terms of other media, the detective genre remains alive and kicking. Sometimes, undead and kicking. “Forever Knight” …
