Invariably Vampires

One of the things I like best about vampires in works of fiction is that they are almost always bad, always have at least the one same drive, and usually one or more of the same weaknesses. In other words, you do not have to learn much about the characters - the story is all in the plot.

How did Halloween become a sexy holiday for females?

A funny question from California just caught my eye in My Yahoo.

TWO CENTS / How did Halloween become a sexy holiday for females?:
t's Elvira's fault. She added all that cleavage to the vampire look while introducing insomniacs to horror flicks of nightmares past.

Creature Feature comes back from the dead!!

I just found out during the local TV news broadcast tonight that Count Gore De Vol, whom I used to watch present Creature Feature every weekend when I was a little kid, is back on the air.

Only now, instead of broadcasting from a TV station, he does it right from his own dungeon - I mean, home.

This is pretty cool.

I used to love watching those shows when I was little. The movies he aired were mostly very good horror classics.

Now everyone can enjoy them. Not just those who live in a certain darkened, foreboding city.

Better still, they can be watched at night - not just on weekend afternoons.

This week's show is: Attack of the Giant Leeches!

Anybody else out there ever used to watch Count Gore De Vol present Creature Feature each week back in the 1970s?

Forever Knight - Trilogy Part 3 released this month

The Forever Knight TV series has finally completed its transition to DVD.

I just noticed over at the TV Shows On DVD website that the next 22 episodes have been released on DVD.

Forever Knight - Trilogy Part 3


It was a really great series and I was sad to hear it ended.

Now however, it looks like it shall go on... despite its untimely demise on television.
