City of Eternals is big news if you're into vampire browser games. I admit to being hopelessly addicted to games like Bloodlines, by Playdom, or Vampire Wars, by Zynga, --both available on Myspace. The problem with these games is the time it takes to play them, and the limited interaction that would be quick to bore the hell out of you if you didn't have to wait hours for your energy and stamina to regenerate. Finally, a solution to boring browser games that consume more time than they're worth! Ohai presents: City of Eternals! The game is being officially launched on ...
No, it's not poetry, --it's an awesome album inspired by shows like True Blood, and the Twilight films, and novels. The title track of the album is my favorite, 'Vampire Love', --but the whole CD is pretty awesome. Chazz deMeyer has kind of a trippy, blues-y electronic thing going that really fits the True Blood music style. Check out the contest details below the interview for more information on how you can win the Vampire Love album! Chazz deMeyer Exclusive Interview Q: Tell us about Vampire Love, from your own perspective; was there any particular message you wanted to send to vampire fans? A: ...
Good news fellow True Blood fans, Alcide has been cast at long last! Season three’s most talked about character has finally been chosen, but not only that, they have also cast the actor to play Franklin Mott (if you’re wondering about the other new players, check out our older casting post here). Now let’s take a look shall we… Joe Manganiello: This is the man that landed the big role of werewolf Alcide. Alcide has been described as a gorgeous and articulate man that is a bit rough around the edges. He appears heroic and decent, but then, things aren‘t always ...
I bet many of you are wondering how someone is turned into a vampire. We all know the most popular way involving lots of blood sucking (they suck, you suck). But if you take a look throughout folklore, old customs and tradition throughout the world you’ll learn that there are loads of ways someone was believed to turn into a vampire. Some of these are pretty ridiculous, but hey, people believed anything back in the day. Before Birth or Shortly After Birth Born at certain times of the year (like a new moon or a holy day). Born with red caul, with teeth, ...
Today’s post is filled with all kinds of bloodthirsty, cruel and evil vampire villains from books, films and television. Enjoy my sweets… 1. Akasha The vampire queen from The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice. What makes this vamp villainess? The fact that when she awoke not only did she destroy most of the vampires in the world but had also planned to destroy 90% of the world’s men, keeping only a small number of men for breeding. "We shall live even in this state of living death, we shall love, we shall feel, we shall defy all who would judge and destroy us." 2. ...
Robert Pattinson has recently done a photo shoot with Details magazine that involves some dirty talk on Rob’s part, and a photo shoot with models that are completely naked. But there’s more. There’s also a very lengthy interview between Jenny, the interviewer, and of course, Rob. And if you had this picture in your head [...]
We really miss True Blood, so much in fact, that we decided that every Sunday, up until True Blood is re-instated as the best show ever!, that damn it, we’re going to talk about it. And what better day to start with, than Valentine’s Day? And what better character to start with, than Jessica Hamby? [...]
Dead Romeo has nothing to do with Romeo and Juliet – although with all the popular historical/supernatural remakes someone will probably make a vampire Juliet and a werewolf Romeo. Anyway, Dead Romeo is actually an amazing graphic novel by Jesse Blaze Snider. Vampire comics ftw!
“Jonathan Romero, aka “Dead Romeo,” was the lead singer of the [...]
The Saga of Darren Shan, made into a film… wow. That was all I could think about when the previews first started popping up all over the place. I first started reading the novels way back in 2000, when the first came out. I never actually finished the series, because I’m one of those unfortunate [...]
We’ve just got word of an upcoming Dracula movie that’s going to be completely different from past movies. Yay! Dracula Year Zero is the new flick that is still very much in its beginning stages – which means it will be a while yet before it hits theaters.
Dracula Year Zero, written by Matt Sazama and [...]
There’s another vampire movie coming our way! This time it will be the blonde bombshell, Alicia Silverstone who dons fangs, along with her co-star Krysten Ritter. Both will be starring in Vamps,, a movie we can expect to see in theaters next year. Alicia of course, is best known for her role in Clueless while [...]
Well, the little subplot between Matt and Caroline is moving along at a snail’s pace, but besides that, things are definitely picking up. As predicted, Elena was snatched, along with Bonnie, in order to make a trade: the grimoire for Elena. The difference is, that despite all manner of begging from Stefan, Damon isn’t going [...]

Vampires and their reflections
As I write about vampires in my fiction, I tend to use some mythologies that’ll suit my character, twist other myths to serve my needs, and discard stuff that doesn’t work for the story. Recently, my vampire [...]
Time to break out your lace, leather and fangs – it’s time for a vampire party! May 7-9, 2010 are the dates you need to save, for it’s when the big BloodLust Vampire Festival happens in Orlando, Florida.
“Welcome to Halloween in May! The first annual BloodLust is a weekend long party dedicated to the Vampire [...]
Vampires haven’t just invaded prime time, they’ve also made their way into medical dramas. Not surprising actually, given the physical consequences that both being a vampire and getting bitten by a vampire have. But actually, this time it ties in quite nicely to Moonlight’s post “I Want to Be a Vampire!” The show is Private [...]
I have come across a wide assortment of strange and twisted vampire stories – from vampire cats to floating heads, but today’s tale is a new one even for me.
Among the many fascinatingly wicked Japanese myths, the jubokko is for sure my new favorite. According to the myth, on grounds where there has been much [...]
A vampire coven is a vampire family, or a vampire pack if you will (but you’re most likely to get bitten if you use that word.) They are simply vampires that live together and try to do so in relative peace.
Some covens are friendlier than others and really are like family to each other. Other [...]
Mixing the old with some new comical horrors is quite the fad nowadays. You’ve got books like “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies,” “Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters,” “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Zombie Jim” and on and on. Below is a hilarious and very well made video that’s in the same club as the [...]
Finally! Finally a big name vampire video game is coming to the Wii, PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360! Don’t get me wrong, those browser games and iPhone games are all well and good but it’s time for a console game. The Grinder is a first-person shooter video game in development by High Voltage Software [...]
A few months ago I wrote a post about the Malaysian vampire known as the polong. The polong is the magical bottle imp that was created to do wicked things to others. In my post I mentioned that the polong had itself its very own pet called a pelesit. It’s the pelesit that brings us [...]
As we all know vampires are huge in entertainment. You can’t go anywhere without seeing handfuls of vampire goodies. But the vampire craze is dying down a bit and it appears that angels just might be replacing them. Last time I checked out the new release section at the book store I saw that over [...]
Back in September, we told you about the possibility of an Underworld 4 movie being added to the infamous series of vampires fighting werewolves. Back then, the whole entire thing was just a big rumor and we didn’t even know if the film was coming out or not. But now we know, there is definitely [...]
This episode starts with a great example of what a bitch Katherine was back in the day; and quickly segues into blatant morning cuddles between Stefan and Elena. They’re either full-on screwing, or just ’snuggling’. Either way, Damon is too excited to wait until they get moving on their own, and quickly dishes out the [...]
Oh vampire lore, how I love thee. If you’re new to the site then let me fill you in, I love vampire folklore, I especially love how nearly every country in the world has its own species of vampire. Today’s myth is another one about witch vampires, but this witch it the Albanian shtriga.
The shtriga [...]
Valentine’s Day is coming soon – the time of romance, love, lust, flowers, cheesy Hallmark cards and more. So this is the perfect time to show just how much your vampire lover means to you. Here’s a few gift ideas to help you out.

It’s a classic V-day gift, but instead of the cliché diamond stud [...]
