bloodthirsty, hunger and bloodlust
I recently had the joy of interviewing Stavros, a poet, award winning filmmaker and author of the new and highly praised vampire novel Blood Junky. The first in the One Blood series, Blood Junky was created from over 15 years worth of research and development into ancient tomes and folklore from across the globe. Check …
The Vampire Diaries – Season 3 – The End of the Affair Oooh, we’re so happy to have you back, Vampire Diaries! I mean, you’re not True Blood, and you don’t have to be, –you’re unique, and beautiful…. like a Fight Club snowflake. Except with a better agenda, and hotter actors. I mean, Edward Norton …
My favorite part of the Twilight films is here – the new soundtrack (I like the music more than the movies themselves)! The soundtrack listing for Breaking Dawn: Part 1 was recently released and is now available for pre-order on Amazon and iTunes. If that’s not exciting enough, the big movie single was also released. …
For some years now I’ve been aware of a startlingly original version of “Dracula” in production in Vancouver. The snippets that I saw, posted on YouTube, made my jaw go slack. One example that comes to mind was the image of Jonathan Harker arriving at Castle Dracula by ferryboat as if crossing the river Styx. …
A long while back I wrote about The Last Voyage of the Demeter, an upcoming film which tells the dark and bloodied tale of the dreaded ship in Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Since I haven’t heard anything on the project I thought I’d look into it and see if there’s anything new to report, but unfortunately …

As you can see by the book posts I do every month on new vampire releases, vampires appear to be author’s favorite subject to write about – does that mean vampires have been done to death? Well Andrew Foley thinks so, which is why he created Done to Death, a graphic novel about an editor …
The first official look at the new “Dark Shadows” has been unveiled in “Entertainment Weekly” magazine. Contrary to the reactions of some fans to a few paparazzi-shot images that popped up on the web, Johnny Depp does not in fact resemble Michael Jackson! Neither does he look normal. The image (clearly posed based on a …
My Step-Dad’s a Freakin’ Vampire is a movie that came out a few years back and is just about to be available on DVD. On November 22 fans of the film can finally watch it at home. For those of you new to the movie (which is most of us) the title of the film …
A few months back after finishing Bullet, the 19th book in Laurell K. Hamilton’s Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series, I snapped and wrote this long rant about how far the Anita series has fallen. What once was an absolutely amazing series eventually turned into absolute garbage – no plot, no point, just rambling nonsense from …
The Vampire Diaries – Season 3 – The Hybrid I’m trying out a new format for this whole synopsis thing; you might recognize the style from what I did this year with True Blood. Feedback is appreciated, but not compulsory. Now, to business! This was a frigging terrific episode, very emotional, –and I can’t wait …

There is a growing terminology that my word processor never likes and continues to remind me of its dislike with angry red squiggly lines. These words include, but are not limited to ‘vampirology,’ ‘vampirologist,’ ‘werewolfology,’ and ‘werewolfologist.’ It prefers words like Parapsychologist or Cryptozoologist, but those words do not reflect the meaning I am searching …
Last year at The Grand Masquerade it was announced to all of the hardcore Vampire: The Masquerade fans that a new massively multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG) titled World of Darkness was being created. Based on White Wolf’s hugely popular RPG, fans were beyond geeked when they heard of the upcoming game. However, details …
After the third season of True Blood I was pissed, and honestly, I didn’t even want to continue watching True Blood after that ridiculous mess. The storyline went absolutely nowhere, there wasn’t a solid plot to be found and there were far too many ridiculous side-stories that were totally pointless. It sucked bad enough that …
Based on the dark and powerful novel by Anne Rice, Interview with the Vampire is one of the most popular of all vampire films. Over 10 years after its release Interview continues to be one of the most beloved of vampire movies with new fans falling in love with this beautifully heartbreaking tale every day. …
When you think True Blood you don’t really imagine food (personally I think of sexy naked men), I mean, most of the eating we see on the show involves fangs and mass quantities of blood. But that hasn’t stopped JoAnn Mathias, Melissa Lowery and Elizabeth Henderson (the latter two created the widely popular true-blood.net True …
Some months ago, the title “The Moth Diaries” by Rachel Klein wandered into my awareness. A rave review from a friend whose tastes I often share, then news of a joint Irish-Canadian film production (the finished movie, now at the Venice Film Festival, is looking for a distributor) in various locations, including Fangoria magazine and …
