Vampires and their reflections
As I write about vampires in my fiction, I tend to use some mythologies that’ll suit my character, twist other myths to serve my needs, and discard stuff that doesn’t work for the story. Recently, my vampire [...]
Finally! Finally a big name vampire video game is coming to the Wii, PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360! Don’t get me wrong, those browser games and iPhone games are all well and good but it’s time for a console game. The Grinder is a first-person shooter video game in development by High Voltage Software [...]
Valentine’s Day is coming soon – the time of romance, love, lust, flowers, cheesy Hallmark cards and more. So this is the perfect time to show just how much your vampire lover means to you. Here’s a few gift ideas to help you out.
Jewelry
It’s a classic V-day gift, but instead of the cliché diamond stud [...]
The vampire that almost attacked Elena in the last episode poses as a pizza guy for an invitation inside Elena’s house. Stefan gives Elena vervain, and vervain jewelry for her family and friends. She gives out the jewelry, but after a creepy phonecall, Stefan also gives Elena the vampire compass so she can detect her [...]
The brahmaparusha is a particularly horrifying vampire of India. This vampire is a malevolent spirit who takes delight in eating humans. They are extremely vicious and consumed with bloodlust, and a hunger for brains.
Their appearance alone is grotesque and terrifying; these vampires would wear intestines around their necks from victims they had destroyed. They would [...]
“Please turn me into a vampire!” I read this comment here a lot. Now, before I continue I want to make it very clear that this is by no means an insult to those of you that wish to become a vampire. I totally understand your reasons for wishing it, so as I said, this [...]
City of Eternals is big news if you’re into vampire browser games. I admit to being hopelessly addicted to games like Bloodlines, by Playdom, or Vampire Wars, by Zynga, –both available on Myspace. The problem with these games is the time it takes to play them, and the limited interaction that would be quick to [...]
No, it’s not poetry, –it’s an awesome album inspired by shows like True Blood, and the Twilight films, and novels. The title track of the album is my favorite, ‘Vampire Love’, –but the whole CD is pretty awesome. Chazz deMeyer has kind of a trippy, blues-y electronic thing going that really fits the True Blood [...]
As you may have noticed, I have not posted the names of winners just yet, –I said I’d do it on January 1st. That’s because I’ve decided to extend the contest a little bit. We’ve gotten a lot of fabulous entries, but I want to be sure that everyone gets a chance to be in [...]
Finally! God, months without the Vampire Diaries, and for what? Those lazy Hollywood jerk-offs. And the last episode was left at such a crazy cliff-hanger! Gosh! Elena Gilbert, trapped under her wrecked car, while a vampire advances, –but Damon shows up, and saves the day, freeing her from the vehicle. The second Damon shows, the [...]
In a recent interview, Ethan Hawke, the star of the latest hit vampire movie, Daybreakers, gave us a bit of insight on how he feels about vampires.
“I know why I like vampires, it’s the same reason 11-year-olds like vampires. I remember I spent the night over at a friend’s house when I was about 11-years-old [...]
Way back when science was beginning to beat out illogical superstition there was still a man that was well known for his occult knowledge. Montague Summers (1880-1947) was a semi-famous English cleric, Gothic scholar and at the time, the leading figure on the occult.
Even though he spent nearly his whole life studying the supernatural, nowadays [...]
In Ghana and Togo, on the continent of Africa, the Ashanti people have a fascinating and complex mythology full of colorful stories of all sorts, which includes legends and folklore of vampires. The Ashanti myths have various types of demons and monsters. One type of vampire is the Obayifo vampire, or living-vampire controlled by a [...]

When we submerse ourselves in everything that’s vampire related, we often find that the words “vampire” and “vampyre” are used interchangeably. But are these two things really one in the same? And if so, why the different spellings? I know that the very idea of vampires lends itself to interpretations of many different kinds but, [...]
All this talk about vampires, but what the heck is a vampire anyway? The definition has changed so much over time, that what once was considered a vampire is now called something else. The original European vampires were more like what we would call zombies today. Vampires have been based on demons and ghoulish spirits [...]
Count Orlock in 3D, –wow. I can’t say that’s something I ever thought I’d see, even during the big 3D craze that seems to pop up once every couple of decades. The old fashioned blue and red format of 3D really adds to the vintage feel of the film, –it’s an all around fun, crazy [...]

Plus, all those years on earth have probably loosened their morals a bit.If they can drink blood and kill innocent dogs and cats, then fidelity is probably pretty easy to ignore.
2. How [...]
