That’s right guys, I’m bring you even more vampire movie trivia. Hurray for useless (but fun) bits of information! If you missed the first round of trivia click HERE. – Colin Farrell was offered the role of Hannibal King in Blade: Trinity, but he turned it down (thank goodness, I love me some Ryan Reynolds).…

Ten Things You Don’t Know About Dracula
1. He never once hints that he himself is Vlad the Impaler (although there is the suggestion that maybe he is related to that figure). For that matter, the most current scholarship into the novel indicates Stoker himself hardly knew anything more about the historical Vlad Tepes (pronounced tseh-PESH) than the name. It sounded good,…
Vampire Hunter Tom Cruise
That’s right dear readers, Tom Cruise is looking to come back to the vampire movie world, but this time around he won’t be playing a vampire – now he’ll be killing them. Universal Pictures just might be making yet another Van Helsing flick, and the big rumor is that Tom Cruise is involved. It’s said…
Killing a Vampire with Modern Technology
In this day and age where the vampire is all the rage (quite poetic, don’t you think?), there are numerous ways to kill the demonic creature if you ever come into contact with one. I’m talking about vampires such as Lestat from Interview with the Vampire or the original Nosferatu. If you run into vampires…
Dracula: The Series
The Dracula legend has been redone a hundred times over and in 1990 the Prince of Darkness returned to us in Dracula: The Series. Dracula: The Series is the tale of Maximilian (please, just Max)Townsend (played by Jacob Tierney) and his family and their quest to destroy the evil Count Dracula who is living… um,…
Nadja: A review
I love the vampire story and make an attempt to see almost everything worth seeing. One rare film I had missed was Nadja, a 1994 film produced by David Lynch. Nadja feels like something out of the 1960s with Warhol and Sedgwick. It’s hip. It’s haunting. It’s an arthouse film style in black and white…
The Children of Judas
How about we mix together a pinch of vampire lore with a dash of Jesus and a handful of evil. You know what you get? Read on and see… Religion and vampires clashing isn’t anything new of course, so an incredibly evil and vicious clan of vampires called the Children of Judas shouldn’t be too…
The Four Best Vampire Animes
Hellsing – Hellsing actually follows Dracula, –er, Alucard, and a descendant of the original van Helsing, who formed the Hellsing Organization, which kills and controls the vampire population. How? Well, because the latest in the Hellsing line is a hardcore, cold female who keeps Alucard on a short leash, and turns him out as an…
The Hottest Vampire Costumes
Before we even get into the whole vampire costume craze, I’d like to knock down some of the crap you expect to find here. First off, I’m not here to post a massive list of post-adolescent silicone Barbies dressed in skin-tight, barely there costumes. Vampires typically wear a little more than lingerie; they need to,…
The Terrifying Lost Journal
Vampyre: The Terrifying Lost Journal of Dr. Cornelius Van Helsing is an older book but totally worth mentioning. While the intended age group is 9-12 year olds it is most definitely a book for kids, teens and even adults. Since most book love is directed at adult-intended, more serious books, I thought it was about…
