Here Be Vampires!

If True Blood's pleasures were limited to the hotness, I wouldn't bother. It's so much more than that, so much more than vampires. Of course, the first season's gay rights and recreational drug use allegories were better than what they've got this year, which is primarily Christian Fundamentalism. Still, a good thing to skewer.

I've never seen Andy Warhol's Dracula ... but speaking of the lesser-knowns ... anyone else ever see Roman Polanski's The Fearless Vampire Killers?

Yes, what a lovely film that is. I honestly find it a little slow going for a comedy, but it's gorgeous, the casting is great, and there are some funny (and creepy) moments. Also, one of my favorite scores, especially the agitated choral piece during the credits.
