bloodthirsty, hunger and bloodlust
The Hive Concept applies to vampires in some cases, as far as my dedicated research into theatrical examples goes. Surely, a few of you have seen The Forsaken, circa 2001. This movie’s vampire traditions were that if you killed the lead vampire, then the curse would vanish in all of his progeny. This is the …
This episode moves pretty fast; they pack a hell of a lot of stuff into forty minutes of action. After Vickie attacks Ty in his car, Damon and Stefan reign her in; mostly Stefan, of course. He keeps her in the house and tries to get her accustomed to a non-human diet, and make her …
If you’re sick of an all liquid diet, maybe now’s the time to start taking more of an interest in gourmet cooking. We can’t all be the Martha Stewart of human sacrifice, such as Maryann in True Blood with her tasty looking human heart souffle. But we can promise you that whether you’re serving your …

1. Mona the Vampire! Hey, just because it wasn’t originally in English doesn’t mean it isn’t awesome. Mona gets the number one spot because she isn’t actually a vampire sense, but she’s so intensely deranged, that she dons fake fangs, and battles her the supernatural monsters that her town is overrun with. From her hair …
After Stefan’s cunning capture of Damon, he locks him down in the basement; the plan is to allow Damon to mummify, as a living corpse, then move him to the family tomb, and re-evaluate Damon in fifty years.

Right away with the Vampire Diaries, you can see that this vampire show won’t be a PG-13 knock-off of True Blood; there’s a different atmosphere. The adjective “Twilight-esque” doesn’t apply. The background is dark and foreboding from the get-go, the vampire introduces himself, and we know already that vampires are not a culturally acceptable, if …
At the Queen’s home, Bill greets the woman in the pretty dress on the floor, who is drinking blood from the inner thigh of a woman sprawled out on a piece of antique furniture that looks too expensive to be getting body fluids smeared all over it. Bill asks if he’s come at a bad …

It looks like the vampire bug has struck again and who better to play a sexy vampire than Johnny Depp? With so many vampire remakes, reboots and adaptations from Twilight to Cirque Du Freak to Buffy, it only makes sense that the cult hit Dark Shadows would also get a fresh breath of life, or …
With the success of Twilight and True Blood why not add another book into the entertainment mix? Cue Vampire Diaries, the young adult series written by author L. J. Smith, now a television show.

If you are a hardcore, own every season, memorize half the lines, Buffy The Vampire Slayer fan like myself you were probably a bit excited when you heard that they were making another Buffy movie (even though the show wrapped up nicely). If you are also like me, I bet the moment you heard that …
