bloodthirsty, hunger and bloodlust
When I first picked up Dr. Bob Curran’s Dark Fairies I was expecting nothing but a book full of twisted folktales to fall in love with. I was pleasantly surprised by not only getting just what I wanted (evil fairies YAY!) but also a little bit extra. It turns out that there are fae that …
One of our all-time favorite vampire shows, The Vampire Diaries of course, is on its mid-season break (lame!) and it isn’t coming back until January 5, 2012. Such a long long wait for us bloodthirsty fans. After ending on such a cliff hanger, we’re dying to find out what is to come. Last we saw, …
The Lord of the Rings was an epic fantasy published in 1954 by J. R. R. Tolkien, a Philology (Historical Languages) Professor at Oxford University. This is probably all boring back-story for you know-it-alls, but before the film trilogy, Lord of the Rings was actually a beloved book by many a fantasy bookworm. I know, …

The hit show Supernatural is awesome all on its own – it has an excellent storyline full of magical beasties, two gorgeous lead actors and a hilarious, yet dark, script. But, the show has recently been made even more awesome by the vamp-tacular guest stars it has had. We’ve got stars from both Buffy the …
Be honest–don’t you wish there were more Hammer vampire films? Well, at least in your mind’s eye, you can create your own from the elements we already know. The rules are simple. Get yourself a single six-sided die (the singular of dice). Now roll your die to make each decision along the way. Ready? Let …
I’ve got more True Blood season 5 casting news! Woot! If reports are correct, we just might be getting a very well-known actor on the show. An actor who starred in well over 200 episodes of Law & Order: SVU – Chris Meloni! Chris Meloni recently left Law & Order: SVU after being on the …
Perhaps appropriate, the latest film in the “Twilight” franchise follows hot on the literary heels of a trilogy in some ways intended as its antithesis. Guillermo del Toro, the visionary film director behind “Hellboy” “Mimic” and “Pan’s Labyrinth,” makes no secret of his desire to see vampires portrayed as monsters. He openly rejected the more …
It’s that time again! The time to take a peek at all of the fangtastic vampire books coming out this month! Woot! Sadly, there aren’t many vampire books being released this December. But worry not, a few of them sound excellent, so this month isn’t a total downer. (Click titles to view on Amazon) Interdisciplinary …
Robert Pattinson definitely does not have anything nice to say about those he thinks “copied” the movie franchise that has made him world famous. He doesn’t specifically mention any one copycat in particular, but most folks are assuming he’s talking about other successful vampires in entertainment, like True Blood and The Vampire Diaries. But who …
I know many of you here are fans of the widely successful Southern Vampire Mysteries (also known as the Sookie Stackhouse novels), which is why I am happy to report news on the latest book in the series – Deadlocked. Charlaine Harris recently released the synopsis of Deadlocked, the twelfth and next to final Southern …
Pushing Daisies creator Bryan Fuller has been working for ages trying to get a remake of the classic show The Munsters on TV, and at long last it’s happening. NBC has ordered a pilot for The Munsters remake, taking it one step closer to primetime TV. For those of you new to the Munsters, it …
You may have read your copy of Breaking Dawn so many times that it is now falling apart, but did you notice the few hidden goodies that were in the film? You may not have missed the lines from the books or the mindreading moments, but there was more to be seen. I have already …
Teeth: Vampire Tales is, as I’m sure you can guess, a collection of vampire short stories. This particular anthology is for young adults, which made me a bit nervous at first. I read a lot of anthologies, but never any for teens and I was expecting an entire book of lame stories about cheesy teen/vampire …
While scanning the magical website known as IMDB, I discovered a movie set to come out in 2012, a vampire flick titled Dance with a Vampyre. According to Dance with a Vampyre’s official Facebook page, this upcoming film is actually a remake of the 1989 vampire movie Dance of the Damned. If you have never …
Vampire romance is in the air due to the recent release of the latest Twilight film, and that means we’ve got loads of love-hungry vampire fans looking for passionate stories to fall deeply into. Now, you could read Twilight for the hundredth time, or you can check out one of the young adult books listed …
Looking for some free vampire entertainment? Then I suggest checking out The Hunted, one of the longest running shows online. The web series is said to be a vampire slaying mix between “Buffy” and “Cops.” If that’s not incentive enough to give the show a watch, The Hunted is holding a contest where one lucky …
Everyone has been pretty hush hush about what’s to come in Season 5 of True Blood, everyone except Joe Manganiello, who is better known as the werewolf Alcide, he hinted at all sorts of goodies that fans can expect this upcoming season. Yay Joe! Turns out that there will be many more werewolves this season! …
After rumors claiming that Indian director Satish Kaushik had bought the film rights to Twilight (which is just ridiculous), he came out and confirmed that he had bought the rights to a book about vampires, but that it’s definitely NOT Twilight. “I have not bought the rights to Twilight! I am in the process of …
Ever see those GIANT Twilight displays at stores and movie theaters? You know, those giant cardboard decorations that are three times taller than you and take up an entire section of the theater lobby? Yeah, I have one of those ridiculously massive displays hanging on the wall in my house. There is actually a cardboard …
