Here Be Vampires! - Page 6

Well, in all fairness, "Nosferatu" is not the Name of either character in the movies of that title.

Heheh, assuming what I know from Shadow of the Vampire to be correct, the character in the original silent was Count Orloff and, yes, both Nosferatu films are barely-disguised versions of Stoker's Dracula.

I haven't seen the Kinski version in decades, so I can't recall what his name was ... if any was given. But "Dracula" is a lame, if understandable mistake. In a sense, Kinski does play Dracula.

Boo for no Barnabus Collins. Huh?

Pfft, Edward coming in one ahead of linked Bill and Eric (and I call shenanigans on linking different vampires who happen to be in the same show). Pfft, he has to be all pursed-lipped on the EW cover with Bill because he has no freaking FANGS. Lamest.Vampire.Ever.

I'm glad they killed Cedric Diggory!

Shadow of the Vampire is an AWESOME movie, and now they're showing it on HD Movies, to give me another reason to watch it again

Opening in L.A. this week, a vampire film called Thirst, which L.A. Weekly critic Jim Ridley praises as a worthy counterpart to The Hunger, and not just in the complimentary title.

Love this, from his review:

Hahahahaha.

Well, I'm singing "Bella Lugosi's Dead".

We started watching Tue Blood last night - it was good. Can't wait to see the rest of season 1 - so how many seasons are out on this?

I think 2 seasons are out and season three just started. But, I may be wrong. If you go to Target today you can pick up season 2 as well as Mad Men.

Ok, ok, here I am in the vampire thread.

Just saw this trailer for Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant. The books are very popular young adult titles at the library and I have to say I've considered giving them a try.

When we saw that it was John C Reilly we were definitely more intrigued than we might have been.

The script is pretty fun, actually. I'm looking forward to it. The film is a combination of the first few books but it distances itself from the series quite a bit, I believe.

Vampires, John C Reilly, Willem DeFoe and Salma Hayak, plus the Director of "About a Boy". Something for everyone!
