bloodthirsty, hunger and bloodlust
After three successful Blade live-action movies and a short-lived live-action show you’d think this classic comic book character would be done, but oh no, now we have a Blade anime. Directed by Mitsuyuki Masuhara, the 12 episodes originally aired in Japan last summer, and this past Friday night, Blade finally came to the US via …
You may think that the Blade franchise is dead and dusted since the last film, Blade: Trinity, totally bombed (though personally Trinity is my favorite). But nope, Blade is coming back! A Blade anime is coming soon to a television near you! Another live-action flick is probably what most fans want, but we can’t have …
Legendary comic book artist Gene Colan has passed away at the age of 84 on June 23, 2011 due to complications with liver disease. This man had a career that spanned seven decades, he chronicled hundreds of stories for both DC and Marvel, and was the artist behind countless huge heroes – from Batman, to …
One of the big things in superhero comics these days is an over-arching story spread across multiple titles. Recently “The Curse of the Mutants” was an arc that covered an attempt by vampires to take over the world, starting with mutants like the X-Men (figuring that super-powered vampires would make it easier to take over). …
Oh yes! Blade, the big bad vampire hunter himself, has gone from comic books to live-action films, and now, he’s getting animated! A teaser trailer for the upcoming Blade anime has finally been released, unfortunately, it’s in Japanese. Yeah, this badass Blade anime is being released in Japan, not the US. Here’s why – about …
As you may remember, a while back I wrote about the top ten vampire movies, so you may be wondering why I am making another top ten list. Well, the films compiled on that list (see it here) were the highest rated vampire movies based on thousands of votes. Since it was based on ratings …
While scanning the latest vampire blogs and news I came across a list of the top vampire movies, and well, it was horrible (Van Helsing should never be on a top 10 vampire movie list). So I got my google search on and looked up other vampire movie lists, and of course, those were all …
Those readers who cannot stomach the syrupy sweetness and sparkle-skinness (is that a word?) of “Twilight,” proceed and learn some good news. Or bad. Depends on your point of view, really. Suffice to say the tale of Edward and Bella might have been much, much worse. Some debate exists in terms of ordinary cinema over …
Go to virtually any bookstore and a seemingly odd decision awaits your eyes. Amid Biography, Western, Romance, Self Help and loads of other genres, two invariably get lumped together–Science Fiction and Fantasy. Yet as fans of either (or both) can tell you, many are the differences between the two. Why then group them together? An …
When word got out that a Blade prequel focusing on Deacon Frost was in the works Blade fans everywhere were pretty geeked (myself included), but it looks like we may not be getting that Deacon movie after all. Due to legal issues the film may be doing a huge 180, going in a new direction …
Was Blade: Trinity the last of the Blade flicks or are there more to come? No one seems to have an answer to that, especially Blade himself, Wesley Snipes. In an interview with Deadline, Snipes said that he’s still interested kicking some serious vampire ass as Blade, but unfortunately he hasn’t heard anything about a …
Honestly, I didn’t like the movie “The Lost Boys.” Yes, the music and cinematography were both fantastic, but like too many movies then and now the lead character was boring. Since he didn’t involve me, I didn’t care what happened to him. More, the story didn’t feel like a story. More like a series of …
Every time I research a vampire movie I find all sorts of kick ass behind the scenes goodies! So here’s a look at some rad vampire movie trivia from some of the greatest bloodsucking flicks out there. – Remember that scene in Francis Ford Coppola’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula when Prince Vlad screams after he drives …

…my friends. That’s right, I went onto facebook and asked my friends and family what their favorite vampire movie is. Luckily I got quite the variation of favorites since those that answered were all different ages. But before I reveal how awesome my friends are, I challenge all of you to post the question on …
There are countless vampire movies out right now and even more coming, but even so we can’t forget about the greats from a few years ago, like Blade. The Blade trilogy was (and still is) badass, so today we’re giving it some love. One of my favorite things from the Blade flicks was the Vampire …
That’s not to say that just because a couple of guys are writing a comic book they’ll immediately going to make a movie out of what is, as of this moment, a still unreleased, unfinished piece of awesomeness. Then again, when these couple of guys are Scott Snyder and Stephen King, there’s a good possibility …
Today is Christmas (duh) and while most people out there are curling up on their couch, sipping on eggnog and watching holiday movies I have decided that I will have no part in all of that. There will be no ‘Miracle on 34th Street’ or ‘A Christmas Story’ for me, nope, I’ll be laying in …
What most of the unofficial Feminists Against Vampire Romance Novels organization, –bent on the mass destruction of a fictional theme, –seems to miss in the world of vampires right now, is that normally, chicks are over-represented in vampire literature and cinema. How many badass vampire guys can you think of? Blade, Dracula, Kurt Barlow, Count …
Vampirella, 1969 – So, you’re a hot alien vampire chick from planet Draculon, why not wear a red thong suit that fits like a surgical glove, thigh high boots, and go hunt the evil kind of vampires? Forrest J. Ackerman thought this was a great idea, and then created Vampirella, who started out as a …
