Love it or Hate it: Twilight, House of Night, The Vampire Chronicles and More

Love it or Hate it: Twilight, House of Night, The Vampire Chronicles and More

Some of the most popular book series out there are vampire series, and you know you love to debate them, gush about them and obsess over them. At least I do. One thing is clear – we all have opinions on these books. Twilight, The Mortal Instruments, The Vampire Chronicles and many more – we …

Avoiding Clichés When Writing Vampire Fiction

Avoiding Clichés When Writing Vampire Fiction

We’ve all been there. You’re reading a book you picked up on impulse because it sounded good when, a few chapters in, you’re struggling to maintain interest because every character and situation seems like something you’ve read a dozen times before in other books. Don’t you hate that? Editors and agents go through that a …

Twilight Author Stupidly Blames Herself for Actor’s Troubles

Twilight Author Stupidly Blames Herself for Actor’s Troubles

According to an interview she did with The Times, Stephenie Meyer blames herself for Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart’s troubles. Because, you know, it’s all her fault and totally not theirs. Sigh. When asked if she feels guilty about their issues, she told The Times: “Absolutely. Here’s the thing: there are some actors who are …

Breaking Dawn 1 & 2 Finally Get A Hilarious Honest Trailer

Breaking Dawn 1 & 2 Finally Get A Hilarious Honest Trailer

I love Honest Trailers! Don’t know what that is? Clearly you don’t live in internet land like I do. Well my poor deprived reader, Honest Trailers are… honest trailers. Yup. These trailers are created by Screen Junkies and they are simply movie trailers remade into something a bit more truthful (and totally hilarious). They FINALLY …

Twilight is Dead… At Last

Twilight is Dead… At Last

Not so fun fact about me – when I am not busy writing articles for you lovely people, I am working in retail. Sad but true (got to do something to get me through college). That said, I have had the displeasure of working every single Twilight DVD release… as the store opens. I have …

Are Vampire Stories Sexist?

Are Vampire Stories Sexist?

Consider the scene most expected in almost any vampire film. A supposedly virginal young woman opens her eyes in the middle of the night. She gets up, her translucent gown billowing slightly as she moves in the moonlight. Then she opens the window before returning to the bed, lying down in expectant terror. A fully …

Tropes That Need to Go Away

Tropes That Need to Go Away

One problem any popular genre develops tends to be tropes that pervade too much of it all. In and of themselves, maybe they work. Often they work quite well. They can, anyway. But when we see the same thing over and over and over again, we enter into the realm of the cliche. So here’s …

Breaking Dawn Part 2 One of the Year’s Worst Films

Breaking Dawn Part 2 One of the Year’s Worst Films

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 has been listed as one of the worst movies of 2012. Harsh, right? But the film landed an awful 11 Golden Raspberry Awards nominations earlier this week, leading all flicks in the annual roundup of the year’s worst films. I guess the love of Twi-hards couldn’t save this …

We here at Vampires.Com offer details of what we hope to see regarding our favorite subject in the coming new year! In no particular order… More vampire horror!

David’s Most Sexy Vampires

David’s Most Sexy Vampires

“Sexy” pretty much by definition remains subjective, but that is what makes lists like this one subject to debate.  Not that we’re minding that!  In fact, we encourage it!  Please feel free to offer your own notions! To try and cover a broad range without using an untenable about a space, here are the rules …

Review of Breaking Dawn Part 2

Review of Breaking Dawn Part 2

Last night I went to see an early showing of the last film in The Twilight Saga.  Like other final films in many recent series, it would make zero sense to anyone who hasn’t seen the previous movies.  Really, it would be like starting Harry Potter with Deathly Hallows Part 2 or Lord of the …

Remembering Bella Swan’s Best & Worst Moments

Remembering Bella Swan’s Best & Worst Moments

We’re still winding down towards the end of the franchise; we’ve got a couple spots left yet to go over some o’ what is awesome, as well as irrevocably silly in the series of films. I know there’s a majority of people who think the films are stupid, but I think they’re just as entertaining …

Remembering Jacob Black’s Best & Worst Moments

This is the last week before Twilight is pretty much officially over, and we wanted to send the franchise out with kind of a special sort of ordeal, –make sure that the thrilling threesome got some much deserved memorial services. We’ll start with the stuff that made us all want to cry, –and some of …

Wither Twilight?

Wither Twilight?

Less than one week from today the last Twilight movie will debut on thousands of screens all over the United States.  But will Breaking Dawn Part 2 really be the end of this franchise?  Possibly not!  Fans may worry or feel thrilled, while Twihaters grind their teeth in frustration, but the fact remains Summit Entertainment …

Vampire Character Halloween Costumes – Who Will you Go As?

It’s almost Halloween! That wonderfully eerie time of year when we dress up in fabulous costumes and consume mass amounts of unhealthy food and drinks! Yay! The best part of course is the costumes.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 is coming soon and with it a whole slew of new vampires. In the Twilight series are various vampire covens, covens that fans have seen a bit of in past movies, but in Breaking Dawn Part 2 you’ll be seeing a lot more of these vamps. For those …

What Makes a Vampire a ‘Real Vampire?’

What Makes a Vampire a ‘Real Vampire?’

A comment I hear on a fairly regular basis from readers here, friends, coworkers and others is that the vampires found in fiction nowadays aren’t “real vampires.” Twilight vampires aren’t real vampires, Vampire Diaries vampires aren’t real vampires, and on and on. From what I am told, most vampires in modern fiction, particularly young adult …

Another Naughty XXX Twilight Fan-Fic Scores Huge Publishing Deal

As many are aware, the HUGELY successful erotic novel Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James originally started off as Twilight fan fiction. Yup, the author wrote her own naughtier version of Twilight, then later changed a few names and key plotlines and had the novel published as something “new.” Now it’s a worldwide phenomenon …

Do Human/Vampire Romances Make Sense?

Do Human/Vampire Romances Make Sense?

Beyond doubt three of the most popular groups of vampire stories right now are the HBO series True Blood (based on the Sookie Stackhouse books), the network series The Vampire Diaries (based on novels of the same name) and the motion pictures based upon Stephanie Meyers’ Twilight.  A pervasive element in all three are possible …
