bloodthirsty, hunger and bloodlust
Back in 2009, a totally absurd and completely ridiculous grindhouse-style film was released to the public. The movie, Blood Moon Rising, is a mix of horror and comedy, with a large dash of deliberate cheesiness. Ok, not really a dash, but a mountain of cheese – lots and lots of it. The gory exploitation film …
True Blood is going all out with the promotion for the upcoming fifth season, which is coming to HBO on June 10th, and they aren’t stopping yet. The second big bad official trailer for Season 5 has been released by HBO and it shows off the psychotic King Russell Edgington. Check out the latest trailer …
Back in 1997 Full Moon Productions had found that filming in Romania saved money as well as taking advantage of truly amazing scenery. Towards this end, they made a trilogy of vampire films called Subspecies. Later, director Ted Nicolaou created a little gem of a film that fit into the same universe. He called it …
Every few decades we are hit by a beautiful vampire storm and everywhere we look we are surrounded by the undead. The vampire craze comes and goes, one moment it’s all anyone can talk about, and the next it’s back lurking among the shadows waiting to come again. We saw this after the publication of …
Bram Stoker, most commentators and biographers agree, saw nothing erotic in his now-classic novel. At least he’d admit to nothing like that. Some have agreed in the interim, but they make up a minority. Popular imagination casts Count Dracula as the world’s ultimate seducer, a demonic Cassanova irresistible to women. No surprise then, when the …
Ever since the release of the first Twilight novel back in 2005 (yes, it has been that long), the love story between human Bella Swan and vampire Edward Cullen has become a wild worldwide phenomenon. Each film adaptation has made millions upon millions in the boxoffice, and at long last, the final film is on …
Warning: There are Season 3 finale spoilers below! Stay away if you have yet to watch it! Season 3 of The Vampire Diaries ended in a wonderfully awesome way – with Elena finally becoming a vampire!

That may seem like a totally absurd question to ask, but according to a study from Denmark, movies and books like Twilight are replacing traditional religion in the daily lives and minds of teenagers, particularly when it comes to dealing with the big questions in life. The PhD thesis from the University of Copenhagen, conducted …

They are going all out this year when it comes to promotions; we are getting new posters and videos nearly every day. Hurray for sneak peek goodies! This latest promo, titled “Everything Is at Stake,” shows …
For many folks of my generation, Tom Baker will always be The Doctor. In fact, he was the fourth actor to steer the TARDIS but easily the longest-lasting. Such an odd, eccentric character. Floppy hat, Huge scarf. Name-dropping figures from history. The way he listened to a glass before drinking from it… He also proved …
I’ve got some big news for the Truebies today! HBO has released the full synopses of the first three episodes of Season 5! It’s the first detailed look at what’s to come on the fifth season! Woo! On top of that, they have also released yet another Season 5 poster, the second of three fans …
Science fiction and fantasy novelist Philip Jose Farmer (1918-2009) left behind a fair number of popular works when he passed, but one project he began continues to this day–with no end in sight. He posited many books, plays, stories and films share the same reality. In other words Tarzan and James Bond, Sherlock Holmes and …
Twentieth Century Fox has released a new international poster for director Timur Bekmambetov’s Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, which is based on the bestselling novel by Seth Grahame-Smith, who also wrote the screenplay for the upcoming film. The latest movie poster shows off Abe and his legendary axe, the axe he now uses to dominate evil …
Season 5 of HBO’s hit show True Blood is only three short weeks away, and HBO knows that “Waiting Sucks” so they have released yet another promo to get us excited for the upcoming season. However, this latest promo, which has no new footage, doesn’t really get me excited, it just bums me out. Check …
There are thousands upon thousands of vampire books that have been written, and with so many out there it makes it difficult to choose which book of the undead you’ll read next. Some people prefer one-shot books, while others adore a series of books that they can really fall into – this post is for …
These days most folks associate Doctor Who with folks like David Tennant and Matt Smith. But die-hard fans of the show remember the Time Lord’s previous incarnations. One of the last episodes of the series original run aired in 1989. Long before Twilight or The Vampire Diaries or True Blood or Being Human, the world’s …
Often times when I hear people pissing and moaning about the vampires of Twilight, The Vampire Diaries and so on, I can’t help but do an internal eye role. They usually say the same old things, like… “Vampires aren’t supposed to fall in love, that’s not scary!” “Vampires kill humans, they don’t befriend them!” “Vampires …
Season five of the True Blood won’t be here until June 10th (booo!) but until then HBO is giving us all sorts of goodies to tide us over until the big day. So far they have released a round of trailers showing glimpses of an action-packed season, behind-the scene footages, a teaser poster, and lots …
Every now and then I fall so in love with a series of books that I go into this obsessive book mode and read every book back to back as quickly as humanly possible. This is what’s currently happening with Rob Thurman’s Cal Leandros series – I am its latest fangirl. The series has some …
Some spoilers follow. I am a huge fan of British author Tanith Lee. Her Tales of the Flat Earth for example make for one of the most original epic fantasies (if you can call them that) ever. Likewise her books about the vampiric family the Scarabae as well as an undead re-telling of Snow White …
