City of Eternals is big news if you're into vampire browser games. I admit to being hopelessly addicted to games like Bloodlines, by Playdom, or Vampire Wars, by Zynga, --both available on Myspace.

Finally, a solution to boring browser games that consume more time than they're worth! Ohai presents: City of Eternals! The game is being officially launched on ...
No, it's not poetry, --it's an awesome album inspired by shows like True Blood, and the Twilight films, and novels. The title track of the album is my favorite, 'Vampire Love', --but the whole CD is pretty awesome.

Check out the contest details below the interview for more information on how you can win the Vampire Love album! Chazz deMeyer Exclusive Interview Q: Tell us about Vampire Love, from your own perspective; was there any particular message you wanted to send to vampire fans? A: ...

I bet many of you are wondering how someone is turned into a vampire. We all know the most popular way involving lots of blood sucking (they suck, you suck). But if you take a look throughout folklore, old customs and tradition throughout the world you’ll learn that there are loads of ways someone was believed to turn into a vampire. Some of these are pretty ridiculous, but hey, people believed anything back in the day. Before Birth or Shortly After Birth Born at certain times of the year (like a new moon or a holy day). Born with red caul, with teeth, ...

A few months ago I wrote a post about the Malaysian vampire known as the polong. The polong is the magical bottle imp that was created to do wicked things to others. In my post I mentioned that the polong had itself its very own pet called a pelesit. It’s the pelesit that brings us [...]

This episode starts with a great example of what a bitch Katherine was back in the day; and quickly segues into blatant morning cuddles between Stefan and Elena. They’re either full-on screwing, or just ’snuggling’. Either way, Damon is too excited to wait until they get moving on their own, and quickly dishes out the [...]

There are lots of people who think that they have better ideas of what a vampire should be than Stephenie Meyer, Laurell K. Hamilton, or even Anne Rice. But do you really?

Just like any other thing that’s a huge trend of the moment, there’s so much vampire paraphernalia on the market that it takes a lot of wading through crap to get to anything good. And honestly, most of it I don’t even pay attention to. But I’m both a vampire-lover and a coffee-lover so when [...]

So we all know that vampires need blood to survive. Or most of them do. Or some of them do, depending on which way you look at it. But, do vampires have blood running through their…er, veins?

Time to travel to the green forests and white cliffs of Britain to visit one of the best known folktales of all, The Green Lady (aka the glaistig). The Green Lady is known throughout England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland – but in each area in each country the myth is a bit different.
