Vampires: Fantasy Art, Fiction And The Movies (Gothic Dreams) by Russ Thorne (book review).
Before we got onto Flametree’s booklist, ‘Vampires: Fantasy Art, Fiction And The Movies’ by Russ Thorne was on my list to look at. Oddly, it’s one of two books I expressed an interest in to them that I was told was out of print. The geek in me at least wanted to know how that […]
Vamp (1986) (DVD film review).
Two students AJ (actor Robert Rustler) and Keith (actor Chris Makepiece) wanting to join a college fraternity house want to get around the initiation by getting a stripper for the evening party.

An Interview With Max Brooks by Patrick Mahon (interview).
Max Brooks is an American writer and the son of comedy director Mel Brooks and Hollywood actress Anne Bancroft. His best known books are ‘The Zombie Survival Guide’ and ‘World War Z: An Oral History Of The Zombie War’, the latter of which was loosely adapted into a Hollywood blockbuster featuring Brad Pitt in 2013.

Vampire Academy (film review by Frank Ochieng).
The giddy vampire vixens showcased in director Mark Waters’s horror fantasy ‘Vampire Academy’ do not seem to have any considerable choppers while sinking their fangs into this tepid teen tart suspense piece. The impish promotional tagline for the film’s motto is ‘they suck at school’ which devilishly registers. Unfortunately, ‘Vampire Academy’ sucks beyond its bloody walls of academia as […]
Kiss Of The Damned (a film review by Frank Ochieng).
Writer-director Xan Cassavetes makes an ambitious yet misguided attempt to sink her teeth into the neck of the vampire vixen market courtesy of her brooding bloodsucking drama ‘Kiss Of The Damned’. Although somewhat imaginative and meditative, ‘Kiss Of The Damned’ is a syrupy macabre melodrama chopping at the sensibilities of an untapped teen scene looking […]
Byzantium movie… bad girls.
Another super-adult horror flick with vampires called Byzantium, in which Gemma Arterton and Saoirse Ronan play mother and daughter vampires cruising small-town America for their next meal. One to get your teeth into, perhaps?
Sesame Street’s Count von Count sings the Views!
It seems that YouTube videos that get more than a billion views are like buses… you wait ages for one, and then, suddenly, along comes a couple. First it’s Psy and Gangnam style, now it’s Sesame Street’s Count von Count singing the Views (on YouTube). Ah, Count von Count. Still a better vampire love story […]
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 film review (Frank’s Take).
This may be an intentional play on words but the final segment of the ‘Twilight’ movie series literally bites. Of course avid fans of Stephanie Meyer’s young-adult fiction film franchise devoted to the gooey-eyed goings-on of vampire valentines Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) may disagree with the not-so-favorable sentiment. Nevertheless the […]
