Now that you’ve spent the last of your paycheck on that perfect gift for that “sucker” in your life, it’s time to turn your wallet toward looking your tastiest for that bloody Christmas party. ‘Cause you’ll never get a second chance to make a last impression… More »


For some, mixing the Vampire genre means adding werewolves to the fold, but for quirky Canadian filmmaker Rob Stefaniuk it means rock ‘n roll vampire musical dark-comedy road movie. and if that’s not crazy enough, insert a supporting cast comprised of Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop, Moby, Henry Rollins and Malcolm McDowell. That’s only part of the insanity called SUCK. More »


So you guys already know Dreamworks is remaking the 1985 cult-classic Fright Night, right? I’m usually against remakes, but I have to say this one might shape up to be something I can’t wait to see, ’cause it sounds wonderfully screwed up! Here’s why. More »


Why try to re-invent the Vampire myth or explore its many possibilities when you can just go bonkers with the granddaddy of them all? At least that’s what Summit appears to ruminate, since bloodsuckers have done great things for them lately (over $500M great things…). But just to make sure they keep raking it in, the studio got Brad Pitt involved as well. More »


I’m trying to stay away from the Badass Vampires vs Romantic (aka Sparkly) Vampires debate, because I’m happily married and wanna keep it that way. But there’s no use denying that many gore fans would like to see a return to the trend of a kind of vicious and violent bloodsucker that burns under sunlight. More »


Vampires have not always been depicted as the suave, seductive and often European beings we mostly now know them to be. And contrary to popular belief, Bram Stoker didn’t come up with such an embodiment either; his version was and is the most widely circulated, but itself the fruit of earlier inspiration. Who then is the real father of Edward Cullen, Bill Compton and Damon Salvatore? More »


Seems quite logical that the current wave of appreciation for all things vampires would reach one of the most popular mediums of the last decade, graphic novels. And like many entries before it, VLAD THE IMPALER uses real-life history to bring a riveting tale of darkness. GOD I sound like a screwed-up Avon salesman… More »


It’s quite possible that the latest addition to The Vampire Diaries cast, Kelly Hu, might just be the first Asian vampire on the small screen. According to E! Online, she’ll make her debut on Jan. 28 as an apothecary named Pearl. Apothecaries can be vampires, right? The kind that sell vervain on the black market, perhaps? While it’s not clear if she’ll be among the living dead or plain human, I really think it’s time that we see a vampire of Asian descent. So far, most major Hollywood vamps have been of the European variety. More »


The Twilight Saga might have had as many fans as detractors, whether it be the novels or the (as of yet) two films, there still seems to be an emerging consensus between the two factions that the fourth entry of the book series, Breaking Dawn, has to become a motion picture. More »


From Ningin: What’s better than a British person with a British accent speaking Korean? New Moon star Robert Pattinson, speaking Korean with a British accent. Personally, he can speak whatever language he wants and it’d still have the effect of busting my ovaries. The SBS reporter can attest to this after having recently interviewed Robert Pattinson about New Moon. More »
