One of the best TV shows ever, 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, written by him and illustrated by Georges Jeanty. It’s no secret …
The rumor on the web is that L.J. Smith is being fired from completing The Vampire Diaries book series, the very books which inspired the show on the CW. As much as I hate to say it – this rumor is true. Yesterday, the author confirmed the terrible news on her blog. Here’s what she …
Cry Wolf This episode is basically the last battle between vampires and werewolves; in fact, the vampires and witches in Mystic Falls may well have seen the last of the werewolves for a very long time.

‘Hello Darkness’ reminds me of old music… you know the song, “Hello darkness, my old friend”? Old folky hippy music from the days of yesteryear, but the movie is actually pretty decent sounding, unlike… old hippy folk music from the days of yesteryear. Except, well, the vampire in this movie was turned during the “angry, …
If you love True Blood, Sookie Stackhouse, and the universe created by Charlaine Harris, in which vampires are in politics, werewolves are just as American as we are, and fairies walk around getting ear shortening surgeries… then you’ll love the game ‘Dying for Daylight’ created in collaboration with Charlaine Harris. The lovely people behind the …

I believe it was me who said that actor Ben Walker would look smashing as Abraham Lincoln, –and so far, I was incredibly accurate with my prediction. There are quite a few other little factoids that the blogs have managed to scrape together, mostly via intercepted emails, and probably with lots of waste-basket digging after …

The last of my three-part interview with Mark Devendorf, one of the writer/directors of the new film “Styria” now in post-production. It is a re-telling of Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu’s “Carmilla” but set in 1989 Hungary. You cast British and Polish actors. Tell me about that. Its kind of strange for two Americans to make …

Daddy Issues Sorry it’s taken so long this time, people. usually we’re on top of things like, gosh, the MOST awesome vampire show ever after Buffy and True Blood. I actually lived in an airport for three days this past week, so as you might imagine, my skills just weren’t as up to snuff as …
A new squeeze will be added to the cast of Vampire Diaries, –and since everyone but Damon is tied up in romantic drama (okay, well, if you count his passionate love of Elena, then he is too), she’s going to be Damon’s new ladyfriend. Personally, I don’t think the addition of another Damon groupie is …
Mark Devendorf is one of two writers/directors deep in post production of the latest adaptation of Le Fanu’s classic vampire tale “Carmilla.” His version, titled “Styria,” stars Stephen Rhea (“Interview With The Vampire” “V for Vendetta”) and Eleanor Tomlinson (“The Illusionist” “Alice in Wonderland”). He very kindly sat down to answer my questions. Most film …
