bloodthirsty, hunger and bloodlust
Consider. “True Blood” is a bona fide hit, as is the network television series “The Vampire Diaries.” Now consider the huge success of various other cable shows–from “Dexter” to “Weeds” to the epic “Game of Thrones.” Might we not ask cable television to give us some more undead-themed television, especially since cable allows generally higher …
I do! I mean, it’s been with us for four years now, and it’s pretty damn awesome. It’s teeming with metaphors for undead living, –and living with the undead, –so why isn’t there more information that what there already is about the coolest introduction for the most awesome show out there right now? Sure, we …
…And it’s a long one too! Last night, right after a re-run, the CW apparently took pity on us, because we’ve been waiting ages during the season break, for a new episode of the Vampire Diaries. They ran a video, which according to the morning bloggers, combined a bunch of scenes from the last few …
I saw some pretty speculative updates about how Caroline’s handling life right now, and since she’s my favorite character, I couldn’t resist doing some kind of abbreviated timeline; she’s gone through some big time changes, and not all of them have to do with being undead now. She started out as a fringe character, bitchy, …
First off, I’d like to issue the customary SPOILER ALERT, though if you’ve read the title, you can’t get too much more spoiled. Allan Hyde, the actor who portrayed Godric in the second season of True Blood, has signed on to return to the upcoming season of the show. But this season is going to …
If you love the Vampire Diaries, hold your breath, and be sure you’re sitting for this news: the network responsible for the production of the Vampire Diaries, CW, has just green lit a project for a pilot, inspired by another of L.J. Smith’s book series. Kevin Williamson and L.J. Smith are collaborating on a spin-off, …
Keep an eye on Suburban Vampire over the next two weeks; they’ll have writers and musicians in every day, talking about the ‘romantic allure of vampires’. If you want to check out new artists and writers who have been inspired by vampires, this is also a great place to find em. If you didn’t get …
A new squeeze will be added to the cast of Vampire Diaries, –and since everyone but Damon is tied up in romantic drama (okay, well, if you count his passionate love of Elena, then he is too), she’s going to be Damon’s new ladyfriend. Personally, I don’t think the addition of another Damon groupie is …
Later on, I’ll be doing the Vampire Diaries synopsis, which, I know you love, because I know you missed me, –and normally I wouldn’t tell you, but I’m just so excited about being able to do it again! But I have to say, all the hub-bub about the new advertising campaign for The Vampire Diaries. …
One of my favorite literary themes is ‘The King in Yellow’; you’ll find it in music, many short stories, and in a particularly favorite episode of Masters of Horror; John Carpenter’s ‘Cigarette Burns’. I always fancied the idea of a deeply disturbing musical/film/play, that made people so incredibly incensed by what they were seeing, that …
For those of you that haven’t seen any of the web series ‘Vampire Mob’, first of all, shame on you. Second, go watch it! And third, you’ll love the cast updates we have ready for you this weekend, if you’re up to speed on the first season, and the fight to sponsor a second. Vampire …
Don’t get me wrong, I love The Vampire Diaries, and I love True Blood, but there’s something going on here that not a whole lot of people are talking about. There is a lot of play on the minorities in both shows. I have a list actually, of weird little facts about the two shows. …
This was a big year for vampires; they’ve been everywhere. When 2010 began, vampire fans were enthusiastic, optimistic, and ready for a year of vampire madness. It wasn’t unfounded; the vampire had a lot of potential this year, with so many people ready to gobble up whatever the entertainment industry decided to cook up, as …
Okay, the trailer is finally out for the spoof of Twilight, –and I guess, a few other popular films from the last couple of years, –but yeah, mostly Twilight. It’s coming to theaters mid-August, so there’s plenty of time to catch all the trailers. I’m sure they’ll probably release a few. After watching the trailer, …
Sick of watching overzealous alt chicks, bikers, and circus people in Miami Ink, and all the other billions of tattoo reality shows out there? Finally, a show about real vampires with real needs: reliable fangsmithing. Well, there was actually a reality show on the Sci-Fi channel a few years ago that featured a vampire, a …
This is a really busy episode; questions are answered, and a new character is introduced. First of all, it’s becoming more clear that Emily is haunting Bonnie, and she wants something. There’s a little bit of weirdness between Matt and Caroline that only gets worse when Caroline confronts Matt after school, wanting to know what’s …
With vampires being so popular lately new vampire shows are popping up like crazy. Yay! So why not make a list of vampire shows – old and new. Below is a list of shows that have vampires as part of their main storyline. Meaning my list doesn’t have shows that had maybe one or two …
