bloodthirsty, hunger and bloodlust
I love me some vampire lore, especially when it’s about a female species of vampire. You (awesome) regular readers know all about my vampire lore posts, for you new readers; there are many different types of vampires out there, every culture, every country has its own vampire myth. Today’s myth is about The Churels of …
At the Hotel Carmilla, Eric is snacking on a classy looking dirty blonde, and loses his appetite when she calls him “baby”. She offers to pretend she doesn’t like it, and though Eric seems to have a few reservations about her acting skills, he resumes his dinner. When Lorena, Bill’s maker shows up however, he …
Halloween month has started! Wooooo! Yup, Halloween month, no way are we having only one day for it on this site. And what shall we discuss in our first Halloween post? Costumes of course.

Ok ok so I am a little late with this post since Talk Like a Pirate Day is September 19, my apologies, but either way this excellent book series is going to get mentioned in honor of Talk Like a Pirate Day. Today’s book spotlight is on an ongoing series that has been out for …
I love to go back in time, –to the 80′s, when clothes were wild, hair was huge, jewelry was plastic and abundant, and V.C. Andrews was considered popular enough to inspire a movie starring Kristy Swanson, –you might remember her from an equally low budget, made for television movie called “Mr. Boogedy.” In Flowers in …
Look at this guy; smart-looking, –we say “looking” because he is, after all, an actor. It’s Robert Sean Leonard, all starched and clean, and cute. He’s suave, he’s charismatic, and he plays Greg House’s right hand man on House, M.D.. But did you know, he also once checked to make sure he wasn’t castrated in …
Have any of you ever considered starting a vampire research group? You wouldn’t be the first. Nope, in fact on February 2, 1970 the Vampire Research Society was founded by Sean Manchester (pictured above). At the time of its founding, Manchester was the director of an occult investigation bureau, which is now non-operational. For the …
We’re at Sookie’s house, or actually, in the yard, where Daphne is leading an awestruck Sam into the woods to explain to him why she knows “what” Sam is. While she walks, she drops one article of clothing at a time, and Sam makes a half-hearted attempt to be in total denial. Daphne patronizes him …
Here we are, the middle of the night, in gloomy surroundings, waiting for crazed cult members to pop out with axes! No, this isn’t Scientology Camp, it’s the Fellowship of the Sun headquarters, and Jason Stackhouse is creeping from the Newlin home back to his bunk. Inside his dorm, he sees his bunkmates sprawled all …
Time again to go back to the CW show The Vampire Diaries. When I wrote my first blog on the show before it aired I clearly wasn’t expecting much out of it, it sounded like a cheesy Twilight wannabe. Now that I have seen the show… I… I love it! It’s true, the show has …
Oh boy, is Bill angry. He’s on the road, at break-neck speed, and he’s on his way to hitting a deer or a gator or something if he doesn’t slow down! Sookie tells Bill to slow down, while Jessica bawls in the backseat and, hey, isn’t there a car behind him? Oh well, not for …
Vampires hating water is a pretty common old myth. You’ve got loads of classic movies and books documenting vampires being stopped by water (the 1972 Dracula film and Dracula: Prince of Darkness to name a few). But was this idea created by modern authors and screen play writers? Nope, this has been around for ages. …
In a world where humans continuously pollute both the earth and their bodies, how do vampires survive? The answer is, they don’t. Set in the near future, Live Evil is a fun flick with a moral. You might have to dig through buckets of gore and sticky chunks of brain matter to find it, but …
I just recently got a couple Tattered Star t-shirts in the mail, and I have to say, I’m pretty effing thrilled with them. The guys over at Tattered Star have a pretty awesome selection of monster shirts, with witty sayings on them, you know. Example, one of my shirts says “Conserve Water, Drink Blood”– how …
And we’re back! Eric is shown, flinging a dismembered arm, belonging to the blonde redneck, –in slow-mo, no less, –at Lafayette. The chunk of gore hits Lafayette in the chest, and he stumbles back to cower behind the pillar once more. Eric warns Lafayette that if he has any silver, now would be the time …
Oh my god! Season 2 Premier! Like, yaaaay! How many of you could have just died when you found out they were going to be making more True Blood? I don’t know about you, but I almost had an epileptic episode. A word of warning; for those of you who read the books, or are …
Vampires and werewolves. Each have a large fan base, a substantial collection of stories and myths, and a seemingly never-ending feud. The two are pretty much known by all to hate one another. You have movies like Underworld, books like Twilight and the Anita Blake series, all showing either a strained vampire/werewolf relationship or full …
Back in 1987 two vampire movies hit theaters. The first being Lost Boys, a movie that became a instant cult hit and the second, Near Dark, which didn’t even get half the love. While it did poorly at the time of it’s release, over time it has developed a substantial and devoted fan base. Near …
Vampires can be dark, sinister, bloodlust driven creatures of horror …or they can be absolutely adorable and huggable as seen in the new web comic Eerie Cuties. Eerie Cuties is written and drawn by New-Brunswick born Gisèle “Giz” Lagacé. Giz is also known for her work on the web comics Cool Cat Studio (completed), Penny …
