Vampire Myths: How the Big 3 Stack Up
From BuzzSugar
New Moon is steadily approaching amid a vampire trend that's hotter than ever. In addition to the Twilight gang, The Vampire Diaries keeps getting better, and True Blood just wrapped its second amazing season.
I love all three, and have been thinking lately about how they each regard classic vampire mythology, from garlic, to crucifixes, to vampire transitions. Take a look at how they compare. HERE
Q&A: True Blood's Lafayette speaks!
From Digital Spy
Are you hoping Lafayette has a bigger role in season three? He seemed to be a bit on the backburner in season two...
"Yeah, I was! In the book, you had this whole world of Vampire Russell, the King of Mississippi, and I'm hoping I could be in that world. You know, Vampire Russell is gay too, so... hopefully they'll put me in there. But yeah, I was a little bit slighted being on the backburner this season."
Is there any chance of a love interest for Lafayette?
"Yes, there's talk. I don't want a love interest though, because I think Lafayette doesn't have time! He has his businesses to deal with. Plus, it would take a special creature to pin him down."
What about Eric? He's been having sexual dreams about him and that would be a hot story!
"Hahahah! I would love for Eric and Lafayette to get their thing on!"
True Blood: Killer Accessories
When jewelry designer Udi Behr created a collection inspired by 'True Blood,' he wanted to keep the line vampire-friendly, which meant a certain shiny metal was to be avoided ... But as his work progressed, he realized a compromise was in order: "The rings are silver, and the earrings are silver. But there are people who want to protect themselves from vampires, too. Not all vampires are great. But, on a serious note, it's hard to manipulate stainless steel in rings, so all the rings and earrings are silver, and all the chains are stainless steel or leather."Killer Accessories

Ohai launches massively multiplayer online vampire game on Facebook
Game startup Ohai is launching a new vampire-themed online world on Facebook as part of an attempt to snare more time and money from social network fans.
Social games have exploded on Facebook this year. But the games have been casual, holding the interest of users for just minutes a day. Ohai wants to take social games to the next generation by launching a massively multiplayer online (MMO) game that will have synchronous play, meaning live games with constant movement and action.
A quick word ... with Stephen Moyer
True Blood's vampire Bill and New Zealand actress Anna Paquin's fiance Stephen Moyer has been in Auckland filming adventure film,Ice. And no, Anna wasn't here with him. He heads back to the States this week to start filming the third series of True Blood. TimeOut caught up with him briefly as he traipsed around the bowels of Auckland museum, which forms part of the Ice set. How do you like New Zealand?It's absolutely beautiful, I love it, and hopefully at some point I'll be able to come back and spend more time here when I'm not working, and have a better look around. Would you ever consider moving here with Anna? The truth is that it would be very difficult to do that given that six months of the year we are in America and my kids are in London. I think there's a possibility that at some point we might have a holiday home here but I can't imagine us ever really being able to live in New Zealand. Did you get any down-time to explore Auckland outside its isthmus? I've been over to Piha, and loved it, loved it. I walked up that central rock and dug some sand and took some photos. I had a wicked sandwich over there which I was very impressed by because I didn't think I was going to find anything. It's so beautiful - I just want to go everywhere and look at stuff.
LSU graduate students contribute to Dracula sourcebook
Vampires are hot right now. From the "Twlight" saga, "True Blood" and "The Vampire Diaries," vampires are taking over the television airways and the bookstore shelves. One LSU graduate student is taking the trend to a new level by composing a book that attempts to catalogue the sources of the OG vampire, Dracula.
John Edgar Browning, LSU Ph.D. student in the English department, is working alongside author Caroline Joan Picart to create "Dracula: The Sourcebook, A Guide to Film and Television, Comic Books and Video Gaming." The book is to be published in 2010 by McFarland, according to an article released by the LSU Website."This work is the largest of its kind because it has catalogued over 1000 films, television programs, documentaries, adult features, animations, comic books, video games and theatrical titles in wh
Vampire Haiku by Ryan Mecu
The book follows the history of a guy – let's call him William, since that's his name – who is turned into a vampire by a lovely lady vampire named Katherine whilst aboard a ship to the New World (to be specific, The Mayflower – in case you were wondering about those onboard deaths, all is now revealed – also, this makes the book perfect for November, what with Thanksgiving just around the corner):
One the deck at night
as thousands of stars shine down,
I see her, alone.
A married woman,
undeniably stunning;
likes to flirt with me.
Like a siren song,
each night she calls me to her
and I am in love.
In the glassy sea,
she, I, and the moon reflect.
Hers is a bit . . . off.
Katherine bites William, he bites back, and there are many haiku about his lust for blood, as well as Katherine's explanation of the "rules", which include "tanning is bad". Also included? This tidbit:
She explains to me
that wood through my heart will kill.
I don't think that's new.
Ahahaha!

Coming Soon: A Vampire Romantic Comedy
Acclaimed comedy director Amy Heckerling will write and direct the upcoming vampire romantic comedy “Vamps” according to Screen Daily. The movie, which is set to begin production in March of next year, will be a modern-day tale of two young female vampires living the good life in New York until love enters the picture and each has to make a choice that will jeopardise their immortality. (Think “Sex and the City” with fangs). Actress Krysten Ritter (seen in the photo above) has signed on for one of the two leading roles in the film. Casting is currently underway for the other. At least the good news about this one is that it will intentionally be funny, unlike another vampire romance movie about the sparkly kind of vampires…

Q&A: 'True Blood's Sam Trammell
lWarning: This entry contains spoilers about season three of True Blood which some fans may wish to avoid!
Over the next three days we'll be cosying up to the cast of True Blood in a bid to find out what we can about season three show them how much we love the twisted vampire drama. First up for a bit of TLC is Bon Temps' resident shapeshifter Sam Merlotte. Season two ended with Sam desperately trying to figure out who he was and heading off to look for his real family. Will such a search finally lead to some well-deserved happiness for the tragedy-ridden bar owner? Will he ever be able to trust again after the Daphne fandango? And how does actor Sam Trammell cope with all those naked scenes? Read on to find out!
Where does Sam's story take him in season three?
"I imagine - and I'm pretty sure - he's going to try to find his real biological parents. He's probably had a desire to see them, unconsciously, for a while, then there was that whole episode where he was with the kids and he realised that one of the kids - Cody - had never actually seen his father. That was the catalyst so that's what Sam's going to do, he's going to go try to find his actual biological parents who he's never met and that is going to be trouble. Alan Ball is going to torture me again!"
