bloodthirsty, hunger and bloodlust
As we prepare for the (presumably) next-to-last movie opening in the “Twilight” franchise, the Twihards and the haters of same raise their banners high, preparing to do verbal war across cyberspace. Despite my own deep interest in all things undead, I am that relatively rare exception–one who neither loves nor loathes the series. From a …
After months and months of waiting The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 is coming to theaters this Friday (November 18) and fans will finally get to see the big scene they have been building up in their minds for so long – the honeymoon sex scene. Admit it, it’s been on your mind more …

True Blood stars Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer are going to be appearing on the Disney series Phineas and Ferb! The two are lending their voices to the animated series’ Halloween vampire episode titled “The Curse of Candace.” This news makes me all kinds of happy! I may be an adult but I love me …
My favorite part of the Twilight films is here – the new soundtrack (I like the music more than the movies themselves)! The soundtrack listing for Breaking Dawn: Part 1 was recently released and is now available for pre-order on Amazon and iTunes. If that’s not exciting enough, the big movie single was also released. …
Summit Entertainment, the folks behind the Twilight films, have filed a lawsuit against Twilight.com. According to Summit, they filed the lawsuit against the site (which was registered all the way back in 1994 long before the books and movies) because they believe that it is hurting their image and confusing their customers… because apparently they …
Is there a more controversial vampire story than Stephenie Meyers’ “Twilight” saga? Doesn’t seem likely. For one thing, fans and detractors of the series hardly even try to restrain themselves. Some Twihards literally cannot even see any tale of the undead or of lycanthropes through any other lens (the notorious poster who called “The Wolf …
Oh yes, it’s time for another Twi-hard discussion! There was a time when I couldn’t step foot in a store without seeing Twilight themed goods all over the place, Twilight had taken over everything. I’d go to any shop and see Twilight shirts, Twilight jewelry, giant Twilight DVD displays and more. The same at bookstores, …
Every time I visit the local bookstore I head over to the wonderfully wonderful comic book section, turn into a little kid, and get lost in the magical world of comics. While scanning the section on my last trip I was surprised by how many vampire books, movies and TV shows have been adapted into …
They have already won two Grammys and sold millions of copies of their albums, but Evanescence want more – they want to get hired by Summit Entertainment to write a song for The Twilight Saga’s Breaking Dawn Part I. Well, actually they already wrote the song, and they’re hoping it’ll land on the soundtrack. “I’ve …
Lots of “Ten Best” lists for vampire films wait for the would-be reviewer or simple researcher on the web. Almost as common are “Ten Worst” lists. Plenty of debate then follows, about which title deserves its placing and so on. But this list goes after something different. Not best or worst anything. Rather, which vampire …
I’ve got more Comic-Con goodies for you! This time it’s for all of the Twilight fans dying for dish on Breaking Dawn. The cast of the Twilight Saga returned this year after taking last year off from San Diego Comic-Con, and their panel has every Twi-hard talking. They went BIG this year by revealing new …
Some people think so and they want something done about it. According to an article published by Fox News, a study of young adult books was conducted and it was discovered that these books were a little racier than parents would like. Researchers reported in the Journal of Sex Research that books aimed at 12 …
When it comes to vampires in entertainment writers tend to go one of two ways – the vampires are either these intelligent and beautiful beings with a thirst for blood, or the vampires are mindless monsters that are hideous and uncontrollable. Sometimes they are a mixture of both, depending on the circumstances, but for those …
Ever since official news came of a motion picture version of “Twilight,” debate raged over casting. Initially, a lot of that centered around the character of Edward with a fan favorite for the role being Tom Welling, aka Clarke Kent of “Smallville” fame. Stephanie Meyers herself made a telling comment–that the story utterly depends upon …
If you are one of the many Twilight fans who have visited Forks, Washington then you probably remember Quillayute High School, you may have even taken photos in front of it like so many others. Well unfortunately, the old facade, which was made famous by Stephenie Meyer’s series, was recently demolished to make way for …
Judging by the ratty and ripped up t-shirt I am wearing and the bright purple polish on my nails, it’s pretty obvious that I’m not big into fashion and style. But apparently many of the Twi-hards out there are, which is why I’m sitting here typing about Bella’s wedding dress in the upcoming Twilight flick, …
Earlier I traced the history of vampire metaphor from “The Vampyre” by John Polidori–which more or less created the trope of an undead nightmare stranger–to the later visions of the vampires as an incarnation of sin. This last covered a spectrum of sin as temptation (especially in the Hammer films) to a search for redemption …
When vampires first drifted, shadow-like, into popular literature in the early 1800s, this denizen of ancient folklore became an incarnation of the Nightmare Stranger–the alien ‘other’ who presented a threat to civilization itself. It was death reaching out to infect the living. The foreigner who defiled virtuous women. A pagan invader thriving where the light …
The long awaited teaser trailer The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 just debuted at tonight’s MTV Movie Awards and on IMDB, and we absolutely had to share it with all of you right away! Check it out and let us know what you think in a comment below! The first of the two Breaking …
