Comparison of vampire traits from Euorpean folklore and myth to modern fiction.
Lindsay Lohan is apparently just as obsessed with True Blood as we all are. So much so, that she and her friends had a vampire party. You weren't invited. Oh man, celebrities are just like US!
Combining the internet's love for pirates with pop culture's love for vampires, Vampirates is the perfect distillation of everything we all love right now… except reading of course.
The trailer for Ethan Hawke's new sci-fi/vampire movie came out today. OMG!!! No shrieking teens or emo-blood-letting? I actually want to see this.
Culture Buzz FINALLY! A clever vampire mashup mixes the witty world of Buffy with the sappy dramatics of Twilight, because you know Buffy wouldn't take the creepy Edward Cullen stalking. Note to Twilight fans: don't hurt me!
What can I say, I think the Trueblood advertising campaigns are clever. Also stabbing the undead in the heart seems pretty bad ass. :) [via]
Holy crap, Videogum just struck gold. I can't even tell you how many plot arcs and twists are crammed into this two minutes of glory. God, vampires, rhythmic gymnastics, a drowning chick…I will never watch inspirational dance movies in the same way again.
Celebrity Buzz The young actress will “sink her teeth” (like a vampire, which is a joke) into a role in the sequel to tween sensation Twilight. To be honest, we were so gunning for Pepsi Girl.

Archeologists discovered the skeleton of a vampire in a mass grave of Venetian plague victims. Evil blood-sucking vampires like this woman were buried with bricks in their mouths, because in the Middle Ages people believed vampires spread the plague by eating their own shrouds after they died. Which is gross.
Lesbian Vampire Killers is the best movie of 2009. I am aware that 2009 has not started yet and there will likely be several other films released over the course of the year, but…honestly, what could go wrong with a great premise like this? Might as well just hand over the Oscar for Best Picture now.
Complete with stake, garlic, cross, and a built-in Bible, this 1800s Vampire Killing Kit recently sold for $14,850 at a auction. The best gift a Buffy-fanatic could ask for.
Let the Colbert Report writers whisk you away on a magical journey of forbidden vampire love, in this clever little spoof of True Blood and Twilight. But once you go bat, you never go back. Keep your girlfriends close.
The final trailer for the movie version of the massively popular teen-vampire-romance novel “Twilight” is online. Folks seem pretty excited about it. Because I’m a nerd, I’m now curious why Edward the vampire heartthrob can be seen reflected in a mirror. But I’m confident predicting that this movie will be a box-office smash regardless.
Politics Buzz Take a quiz that determines which candidate you should vote for come November. Well, looks like I’ll be pulling the lever for Obama. And, also, I’m a “vegan vampire”.
Food Buzz The ‘synthetic blood nourishment beverage’ from HBO’s anticipated True Blood is being marketed through a clever viral campaign. I have no idea what is actually in this beverage but it will be available in type 0, A, B, and AB. Tru Blood will join ranks with such fictional beverages as Idiocracy’sBrawndo and Tropic Thunder’s Booty Sweat.
It’s amazing how, with the assistance of Photoshop, famous pretty ladies can so quickly go from glamour to goblin. Seriously, who would’ve guessed Marisa Tomei could ever look like an extra from Buffy The Vampire Slayer? (Thanks, Hurty Elbow!)
TV Buzz A new HBO show about vampires in Louisiana is produced by Alan Ball of Six Feet Under fame and stars Anna Paquin. It won’t be out until the fall, but TV viewers in Buffy withdrawal are already buzzing about it. We just hope that by the time this series comes out, vampires won’t be totally tired and passe. (See Vampire Weekend, teen vampire lit.)
