Top 5 Vamp TV Shows

I know there have been more then 5 Vamp TV Shows, but these are the 5 I enjoyed the most out of all of them.

#5 Angel

(1st season was good then I thought it became to boring after that)

#4 Buffy The Vampire Slayer

(Longest Series That just kept you on your toes, Teeny bopper possibly, But I was a teen when I was into it...lol)

#3 Kindred: The Embraced

(Loved this series!! Was so upset when the main character Mark Frankel AKA Julian Luna died in real life in a motorcycle accident so they decided not to go on with the 2nd season)

#2 Moonlight

( This one really pissed me off that CBS cancelled this series!!! I thought it was fantastic!! I loved the Mick St. John character and how they left it on the last episode of the 1st season had me on the edge of my seat waiting and anticipating more in the 2nd season.CBS is retarded on how they kept some shows running that suck tremendously and then cancel a truly great Show like Moonlight)

#1 True Blood

(Obviously I am addicted to this show as are many of others..lmao)

My Top 15 Vamp Movies....

Ok in response to OK!'s Countdown of Hotest Vamp Couples I have decided to make my own list of what I think are the best vampire movies.

#15 Interview With a Vampire


Likes/Dislikes: I loved Anne Rice's Vampire Novel's. Even though I feel as though the books were way better then either movie that they made, this was a pretty decent version of it. I liked pretty much everything in the movie except the fact that it is very hard for me to watch Tom Cruise as the vampire Lestat...lol Even though he was ok in the part I feel they really could have done better int he movie if there was someone else portraying the role.

#14 Bram Stoker's Dracula


Likes/Dislikes: Loved Gary Oldman as Dracula, I thought he was a very seductive vamp. Also loved Anthony Hopkins as Van Helsing. Although I pretty much like his portrayal of everything I have seen him in, I liked his bit of a comedic in a sense role that he brought to the movie. I hated Keanu Reeves as Johnathon Harker, I was awaiting throughout the entire movie to either say "Dude" or "that's totally bogus"...lmao Also did not like Winnona Ryder's as Mina. Frankly she just gets on my nerves.

#13 From Dusk Till Dawn


Likes/Dislikes: Thought this was a great movie. Loved Quentin Tarantino and George Clooney. Fav scene was when Cheech Marion was outside selling Pussy...lmao Overall it was a pretty good flick. I did not like the fact that when I went to the theater to see this movie anticipating a vamp movie, I pretty much was like WTF through the entire thing until towards the end when you finally got to see the vampires...lol

#12 Monster Squad


Likes/Dislikes: I thought this movie was fantastic. I thought it had some funny as hell scenes in it with the kids. Although this movie should be watch by parents before they let their children see it, only because there is adult language and inuendos as well as it may be to scary for some. Other then that it was great...lol "Wolfman Gots Nards"...lmao

#11 Van Helsing


Likes/Dislikes: I thought this was a cool movie. The special effects were great and so was the concept of the story line. I liked that fact that they were suggesting that Dracula was a fallen angel and Van Helsing was the angel Gabriel. I really liked the actor who portrayed Dracula, I thought he was nice and seductive. There were a few funny parts and quotes in the movie that I thought was cool. There really was not much I did not like about this movie except for the bit of a sappy ending...lol

#10 Stephen King's THe Night Flier and Salem's Lot are tied in this spot



Likes/Dislikes: I feel both were fantastic movies. There is really nothing I can say bad about either one of them. They are both fantastic and Love Stephen King so what would you expect...lol Although amny people know of Salem's Lot, I don't know many who know of The Night Flier. If you have never seen it, rent it you will not be disapointed.

#9 John Carpenter's Vampires


Likes/Dislikes: I thought this was a fantastic movie. I loved James Woods, he was funny as shit in this movie. Thomas Ian Griffith's portrayal of Valek, the master vampire, was awesome. He was plain old ruthless!!! There was nothing romantic about these vampires, they "lived" (haha) up to the name Monsters!!!

#8 Underworld Evolution


Likes/Dislikes: Great sequel to the 1st movie. Liked how it explained a bit for the 1st one on what all was being talked about and how it all started.

#7 Underworld


Likes/Dislikes: Thought this was a great flick. It brought a new way of looking at vampires. Loved the fact that they were in a war with the werewolves as they were called "Licans" in the movie. The special effects were phenominal. Kate Beckesale was great as Selene. It was an action packed movie, what more could you want?!

#6 The Dark Prince: The True Story of Dracula


Likes/Dislikes: This is a story based on the man known as Vlad "The Impaler". Bram Stoker based his story of Dracula on this person. I liked this movie because it was about him more then the myths.

#5 The Lost Boys


Likes/Dislikes: Come on it is the Lost Boys!!! You have Keifer Sutherland and Jason Patrick portraying 2 Teens, one a bad boy and the other new to the town, that just want to have a good time and that don't like eachother and want the same girl, oh and did I mention they were vampires...lol What kind of person wouldn't like a movie full of teenage bloodsuckers...lol

#4 Fright Night


Likes/Dislikes: This is a classic!! Need I saw anymore?!...lol If you have not seen this movie there is something wrong with you!!

#3 Twilight


Likes/Dislikes: LOVED THIS MOVIE!!!! Event hough people were saying it is a teeny bopper movie , I agree only to an extent. Yes, they are teens and possibly steers more towards them, but I am 30 years old and am hooked on the movie...lol What girl/woman of any age would not want to have a boyfriend like Edward Cullen?! After I am don't with my Sookie Stackhouse novels, I am planning on reading the Twilight books. Even though the vamps have no vamp teeth and they tend to glitter instead of bursting into flames in the sunlight, I have to say this movie was fantastic!!!

#2 Hammer's Brides of Dracula (1960)


Likes/Dislikes: This is an age old classic. Maybe not as classic as Bella Legosi's Dracula, but a classic horror film just the same. I loved this movie ever since I was a kid, and to this day still consider it one of my favorite films. Granted, to some poeple, this movie may make them laugh since th special effects are very old, but I still think it is one of the greatest vampire films out there.

#1 1977 BBC Count Dracula - with Louis Jourdan
(can not find a trailer for this movie but here are a few clips)


Likes/Dislikes: There is nothing bad I can say about this film. To me this is my all time favorite Vampire/Dracula movie ever made!! Even though it was a BBC made for TV movie, I think this is the best one of all time!!! it is abit long, like I think 3 hours...lol, but it is well worth sitting through it and you don't even notice the time. Louis Jordan portrays Count Dracula. I know many people, unless you are a vamp/horror fanatic knows of this film. I would advise anyone who has never seeen it before to go and rent this film, curl up in a blanket with some popcorn in the dark and enjoy!!!

OK!'s Countdown to the Hotest Vampire Couples

Blame it on Béla Lugosi, Bram Stoker, Anne Rice... the list of those who have brought sex appeal to the undead has captivated readers and movie audiences for centuries — especially when it comes to the undeniable attraction between the bloodthirsty vamp and his mortal victim!OK! decided to put together some of our favorite vampire couples through the years. Call it our "sexiest couples" list with a biting twist!

#1:Who can deny the sexual heat between True Blood's Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) and Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer)? The brooding centuries-old Bill falls for the naive and virginal waitress, Sookie, and to say that sparks fly — well, take a look for yourself!


#2
The next hot vampire couple is a blast from the past. David Boreanaz made the undead cool--even something to be desired as the hunky and tortured vampire Angel on t.v.'s Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Even Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) herself couldn't help falling in love with this bloodsucker with a debonair flair, spiking the show's ratings and even landing David with his own Vampy spinoff, Angel.
(didn't like the video they had so I thought this one was better..lol)


#3
Next on our list, a recent favorite, the gorgeous Edward Cullen and Bella Swan from Twilight! Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart take teen angst to a whole new level as Edward (a century-old vampire trapped in a 17-year-old heartthrob's body) can't decide whether he wants to kill or marry his mortal obsession, Bella. Guess we'll just have to wait for the sequel, New Moon!
(Again liked this video alot better)


#4
Bram Stoker's Dracula enchanted movie audiences with its haunting love story between a crusades fighter who sells his soul to the devil after losing his beloved queen. Centuries later, the count, now the immortal Dracula (Gary Oldman) thinks he's found his dead queen reincarnated in a 19th century girl, Mena (Winona Ryder) and he will stop at nothing to get her back.


#5
Next on our list: the infamous pairing of Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise as lonely bloodsuckers in Anne Rice's Interview with a Vampire. While technically both leading men play vamps, Cruise's Lestat first sees a human Louis (Pitt) and becomes obsessed with him, later deciding to make him his immortal life partner.


#6
Who could forget the '80s cult classic, The Lost Boys? When Michael (Jason Patric) and his brother move to a new town, he falls for the beautiful Star (Jami Gertz). But what he doesn't know is that she has a terrible secret and an even darker group of friends who prey on the living!


#7
Aaliyah wowed critics and audiences with her disturbing portrayal as Queen Akasha, a powerful vampire with the ability to seduce--and seduce she does in Queen of the Damned, luring the young, just turned vampire Lestat to be her King.


#8
In Underworld, Kate Beckinsale plays Selene, a sexy vampire warrior entrenched in a war between the vampire and werewolf races. She ends up falling for Michael (Scott Speedman), a werewolf who longs for the war to end.
(This scene may be from the 2nd Underworld film but I think it was a good clip for this category)


#9
In 1983's The Hunger, a young Susan Sarandon falls prey to the worldly wiles of vampire couple David Bowie and Catherine Deneuve. And when Bowie's bloodsucker falls apart (literally), the path is clear for Susan and Catherine do more than a little bit of nocturnal canoodling.

Ryan Kwanten Interview

Go to http://video.about.com/movies/Ryan-Kwanten-Interview.htm to watch the interview.

Ryan Kwanten – 'Jason' in True Blood and 'Soren' in Guardians of Ga'Hoole

Tell me what it's like to be nude on a set all the time?

Ryan Kwanten: "It's a little confronting."

Is it really?

Ryan Kwanten: "Yeah, just to see that modesty patch hanging in the wardrobe is something you don't necessarily look forward to. But I leave myself in the careful hands of Alan Ball so I know it's never going to be exploitation or gratuity for gratuities sake. There's always a point behind it."

But you knew when you took the role that he was going to be naked so much during the series?

Ryan Kwanten: "Yeah. There's certain things that you know going in. And I'm very comfortable with my body. It doesn't really bother me."

Did you work out a lot before you did it?

Ryan Kwanten: "Did I work out a lot? I do anyway. I sort of keep myself in good shape."

Were you familiar with the books before you took on the role?

Ryan Kwanten: "Yeah, I got two and half books in. I haven't had a chance to sort of get back to them but I can see why Alan [Ball] sort of chose the books and I see why the series has translated so well."

Your character is a little different than he's written in the books.

Ryan Kwanten: "A lot of the characters are."

Your's in particular has a lot more to do in the series than he did in the books. Did you find that when you read the first couple of books that you were noticing your character's developed more now?

Ryan Kwanten: "Yeah. As much as it's still very much sort of Anna [Paquin's] or Sookie's storyline, I still get the feeling that it's an ensemble piece, that there's at least sort of four or five storylines sort of happening at once."

How much fun is it to be on this set?

Ryan Kwanten: "The crazy thing is that at these sort of award shows you get asked, 'Tell me a funny story that happened on the set,' but you only have to look at the ridiculous amounts of craziness that Jason gets up to. Every single day I go to set there's something that happens, so it's hard to pinpoint one thing."

Have you ever said no to anything they want him to do?

Ryan Kwanten: "No. You have to just kind of throw out the textbook and everything you think you know about acting and just fly by the seat of your pants. With this character I do."

I actually find him a lot more interesting in the TV show than I did in the books. Did you absolutely grab onto him as soon as you read it?

Ryan Kwanten: "Well I think it was important for him to have a sense of vulnerability and for the audience to be able to sympathize with him, and to not see him as whether it be a piece of meat or just a dumb redneck, that there really is some soul and some hurt deep inside. So I think that was important for me to get across."

Do you still have time to do movies with all the TV stuff going on?

Ryan Kwanten: "Yeah, I'm working on a movie now. It's Zack Snyder's new film called the Guardians of Ga'Hoole."

Is that animated?

Ryan Kwanten: "Yeah, animated.

So who do you play, how do you give voice to?

Ryan Kwanten: "A guy called Kludd. It's set in the world of owls."

Are you a good owl or a bad owl?

Ryan Kwanten: "I can't release too much information… I'm sworn to secrecy."

Part Two of an Interview with Alexander Skarsgard at the Spirit Awards

Generation Kill, you guys actually filmed that in Africa. What was it like to stay on that set and get into those characters? That must have been tough.

Alexander Skarsgard: "Yeah. We were gone for seven months. I mean, my family – they're all in Stockholm, Sweden – so I was actually gone for almost a year because I was out here for four months and then I didn't even have time to go home for a weekend when I booked Generation Kill . It was like really once I got it, it was basically like, 'Well, boot camp starts tomorrow so you have to fly to Namibia now." So I didn't even have time to go back home to say goodbye to my mom and my dad and my siblings so it was tough to be away for that long. But it was also good in a way because it's about this platoon and in a way they're very isolated. So I think it helped that us, as actors, lived together and spent 24/7 together for seven months because we got to know each other I mean inside and out. The bonding was amazing and hopefully that affected the show and you can see that we really care about each other. Because we really did spend seven months in those Hummers sitting next to each other talking about everything and nothing. It was an interesting experience. Seven months in the desert is a long time, but it was also like the most amazing experience I've ever had. I mean I made some friends for life, for sure."

Did you ever meet Brad, the real [Sgt. Brad Colbert]?

Alexander Skarsgard: "Yeah."

What was he like?

Alexander Skarsgard: "I didn't have a chance… Obviously I didn't meet him before because when I got it, it was like 24 hours later I was on a plane on my way to Namibia. And then I got his email address like three weeks into shooting. At that point I decided not to email him because I don't think it would help me. At that point I'd kind of created my own Brad Colbert based on what his friends said. We had a couple of the guys from 1st Recon with us and obviously Evan, the writer, spent three weeks in the Hummer with him. He knows him very well. That's how I prepared and created the character, through talking to them and reading the book, obviously. And once we started I kind of made my choices already and found my path so I didn't want to… That would kind of throw me off I think. But then as soon as we were done, this was back in the States, Evan Wright - the writer of the book – had a barbeque at his house just so my and Brad could meet."

Really?

Alexander Skarsgard: "Yeah. Because he knew that we would meet on the red carpet for the big event, but he also knew that it would be kind of awkward for us to meet for the first time like that. So it was very sweet of him that he threw this little barbeque at this house. Me and Brad just got to sit down and have a beer and talk for like hours about everything. And he's such a great guy. Really, really great guy. Amazing and so supportive and helpful. So I went down, his wife and his family – or his girlfriend and his family – had a surprise birthday for him a couple of months ago down in San Diego so I went down for that as well. He's a great guy. I'm very happy I got to play him."

And he's happy with the series?

Alexander Skarsgard: "I'm still alive so I guess that's a good sign."

And you're working on some movies too, right?

Alexander Skarsgard: "Yeah. I did an animated movie called Metropia with Juliette Lewis and Vincent Gallo. It's coming out later this year. And when we were on hiatus I did a movie called 13 up in New York. It's a remake of a French movie called Tzameti 13, and the same director's making it, basically a remake of his own movie that he made three years ago. It's about Russian roulette. Very violent."

That sounds interesting.

Alexander Skarsgard: "Yeah, it's a very intense script, very dark and extremely intense, obviously. It's about this underground club where people…it's like people bet on like they bet on horses but they bet on people playing Russian roulette instead. Yeah, so I was up in Yonkers north of Manhattan for a month and half doing that, and now we just started [back on True Blood] three weeks ago so I'll be here for a couple months now."

Go to http://video.about.com/movies/Alexander-Skarsgard-Part-1.htm to watch the interview.

Part One of an Interview with Alexander Skarsgard at the Spirit AwardsHuge fan of Generation Kill and True Blood.

Tell me what I can expect next year.

Alexander Skarsgard: "On True Blood? Well I don't know what I can say without revealing too much…"

Does it follow the second book?

Alexander Skarsgard: "Yeah, but kind of loosely. It's absolutely based on the second book so we are going to Dallas. But then… We just started three weeks ago, but there's some fun stuff going on."

So you're actually playing my favorite character from the series, Eric. I read the books and he's my favorite. Do you like playing him? Is a fun character to get into?

Alexander Skarsgard: "Yeah, I'm having a blast. It's an amazing character to play. It gives me a lot of freedom. I can do whatever I want because who's going to tell me what a 1,000 year old vampire Viking is like? So, it's great. It's a great character to play. And the whole cast – it's so much fun. It really is. I know people always say that but I honestly mean it."

What's it like on an Alan Ball set?

Alexander Skarsgard: "It's very laidback. We're just having a great time. The crew is amazing. I'm just so happy to be back working with the cast again. And we've got some really nice sets now – I'm very excited about that."

Really?

Alexander Skarsgard: "Yeah, some crazy cool sets so that's very exciting to me."

You're not changing the Fangtasia set, right?

Alexander Skarsgard: "No. We still have that but you get to explore more of Fangtasia, like the basement and stuff and some other rooms. Yeah, I'm not going to say too much but there's some amazing sets."

This has a huge fanbase. Were you aware of that before you took it in?

Alexander Skarsgard: "No, not at all. No. I didn't expect this at all. I really didn't. I read the books when I got the part, you know, so I wasn't aware of them before. I did not realize how big the fanbase was."

Do you go online and look at what they say about you?

Alexander Skarsgard: "No, never. "

You ignore that?

Alexander Skarsgard: "Well, yeah, because I'd get very self-conscious if I did that I think. Even if, hopefully -I don't know but even if you read nine good things and then one bad, I know that's the one that's going to get stuck up here and I'm going to think about it when I… I think in a way it was good when we shot season one that I didn't know about the fanbase and I didn't feel that responsibility because it gave me…"

No weight on your shoulders.

Alexander Skarsgard: "Exactly, and kind of liberating in a way. It's flattering, obviously. I'm glad that people like it. And now I definitely feel responsibility and hope that they'll like what we're doing."

Any chance you're going to grow your hair out like Eric or are you just going to keep doing wigs?

Alexander Skarsgard: "There might be some changes..."

Spoilers

Sookie's power is not unique to her. She'll meet a young Texan named Barry who reads minds, and they freak each other a little when they discover each other's powers. (This is in the 2nd book Living Dead in Dallas, so looks like Ball is still staying with the story lines in the books!!!)

Also, great news for us Eric fans: We'll be catching up with him in 10th century Scandinavia, likely when he was first turned into a vampire. Holler! (Now this would be cool, I am reading the 4th book, Dead To The World, and so far have not read anything about Eric's past. Also Rally hoping to see more of Eric in this season. He seemed to be in the book more and hopfully they stick to that. Just reading I was cracking up laughing while doing so because I can see the characters saying and doing what they were...lmao)

Spoilers........

True Blood season 2 news about another cast member has just been published in IMDb.



The latest addition to Alan Ball’s hit HBO TV series “True Blood” is Annalise Basso.



Annalise has been cast to play the role of Eden Hamby, Jessica’s 9 year old younger sister.



She will make her appearance in Season 2 Episode 2: “Keep This Party Going” with a recurring role.

Michelle Forbes Interview by SFX

Smarten up and salute Cain, people, because we've been talking to Michelle Forbes at Starfury's Battlestar Galactica convention.

Born in Texas in January 1965, Forbes is perhaps best known from Star Trek: The Next Generation and Homicide: Life on the Street. After Battlestar, where she made a brief but important appearance as Admiral Cain, she's now in True Blood. The rest of this interview will be appearing in our amazing Battlestar Galactica-themed special issue, on sale Wednesday 4 March with posters and gifts! But we thought you might like this brief snippet as a little treat to get you in the mood:

SFX: We keep hearing that Battlestar was a great set to work on. You were only on the show for a short while - did you get the impression that it had a great spirit?

Forbes: "I can tell you that I've worked on a lot of shows and it's 100% genuine that there was great camaraderie on this one. It was a beautiful thing to witness the respect between the actors and writers. That was unusual. I was talking about to James Callis and we agreed it was a very moving experience in that regard. Because if you're round a lot of companies there are politics, and backbiting and nonsense. I'm actually grateful for those opportunities because when you get a company like Battlestar you see this intense love and support and nurturing, you really know that it's truthful and it touches you, and it erases a lot of the cynicism. You think, 'Right! This is how it's supposed to be.'"

SFX: Did you get any souvenirs from Battlestar Galactica?

Forbes: "I never walk away from shows with any souvenirs. They always try to give you your chair, with the name on the back - but I'm always like, 'What am I going to do with this?!' Put it in the closet, throw it away: I'm not really sentimental about jobs. I didn't mean to, but I was rushing to catch my flight and rushing to get out of my clothes, and I didn't take off my dog tags, so I have them. Although today I have no idea where they are. I wish I did know where they were because in 20 years I'd probably get a lot of money for them [laughs]!"

SFX: Were you a fan of the original 1970s show?

Forbes: "I was aware of the original Battlestar Galactica but I never really watched it. I remember watching the original Star Trek when I was a child, but I never watched all of Battlestar - although maybe I was aware of the bad hair. Even then I was aware of bad hair [laughs]!"

SFX: And now you're in the excellent True Blood! How's that going?

Forbes: "It was definitely fun to film. I shot three episodes fairly quickly before leaving for Montreal to do Durham County and soon I start True Blood again so it's all a bit of a blur. I was in the last three episodes of the first season of True Blood before coming on as a regular in the second season. You know, it's not broadcast yet in the UK but it seems like everybody's seen it! [Laughs] I'm so sorry, but how have you all seen it? I don't understand… oh right… shame on you! [Laughs]. In True Blood I play a character named Maryann. I have a lot of backstory, and I have a very odd butler and a strange best friend - and you know I can't say too much because apparently some man in a black cloak comes out and puts a gun to your head - I had to sign all these papers [laughs]. Much more will be revealed in the second season."

"Twilight and True Blood coming up at the same time has really pushed the vampire genre back into the forefront of our minds, and I'm new to it. On some level I've been involved in science fiction for the past 17 years but I never really got it until Battlestar - and the same with vampires. I guess I have to do something before I really get it, and now I'm like, 'Vampires, yeah!' I never really thought about it or explored that, it wasn't my genre area. But you know the show's not just vampires: it's shape shifters and werepanthers, and maenads and fairies, and telepathic waitresses, and a whole bunch of crazy characters in that little town of Bon Temps."

SFX: What sort of response do your characters get at conventions around the world?

Forbes: "Oh my God! Battlestar is shockingly popular in Germany. In Germany we had 4000 people at a convention. It's amazing how far people travel. People were travelling in from Italy - it blows my mind actually. It's such a universal thing, and Germans are big into science fiction. Turns out Germans and criminals on Death Row were my biggest fans from the Star Trek days. I guess they were running it a lot in Germany. But the Death Row thing… I don't want to get a complex! I used to get a lot of prison letters but that's sort of calmed down. I think it's because of some of the characters I've played I've always had a bit of an interesting fan base."

Don't forget to watch Battlestar Galactica on Sky1 tonight, UK viewers! There's a little interview with fellow actor Nicki Clyne online already here and one with Jen Halley here. True Blood will be coming to the UK later this year, broadcast first on the FX channel and then on Channel 4.

The Dracula's Ball Event.......

For all of you Vampires, Fangbangers, or just curious humans in and/or around the Philadelphia, PA area, there is a fantastical event on March 21st at the Shampoo Club located on 7th and Willow streets. All ages are welcome, there is a section for the under 21 as well as a section for 21 and above with plenty of drinks at the bars located on that level. Go as you are or you can get into the spirit of everything and wear a costume.

My husband and I went to the one on Halloween and I have to say it was fantastic!!! The decor was fabulous and everyone was really nice. The DJ was great and the ambiance was to die for!!! We had one hell of a time and are planning to go back again after I have the baby. It was great to be all dressed up and seeing other people with their choices of costumes!! There are some who really get into it, and they are the ones that help make the experience worth all the while. So go for an unforgettable experience and party through the night with the dark and mysterious beings of this world.

More Casting News

A couple of weeks ago we reported that Preston Jones had landed a recurring role on True Blood.

But it was unknown which character he was going to portray.Today it was confirmed that Preston Jones has been cast for the part of Dirk.

Dirk is a new character (he is not in the books by Charlaine Harris) and will make his entrance in Episode 2.

Insaine Man/"Vampire"

'Vampire' arrested for threatening teenage 'slayer'

A self-described "vampire" and former fringe political candidate is facing charges for threatening a teenage girl who tried to break off their online relationship by telling him she was a vampire hunter.

John Alfred Sharkey, who calls himself the "The Impaler," ran as the Vampyres, Witches and Pagans party candidate for Minnesota governor in 2006.

The 16-year-old girl's complaint claims the pair struck up a friendship in 2007 after she wrote a message of support on his MySpace page. She told police they began dating online, and the threats began when she tried to break off the relationship, according to the Post-Bulleting newspaper.

She told police that "in a desperate attempt" to get him to leave her alone, she had e-mailed him that she was a member of an elite vampire hunter society and that continuing their relationship would put him in danger. Her father told police he talked to Mr Sharkey, 44, but he continued to call the girl and write letters to her parents.

He was charged with felony harassment and two misdemeanors: coercion with a threat to inflict bodily harm and coercion with a threat to expose a secret or disgrace. He is in jail after being unable to raise bail.

Rick Smith, his lawyer, has asked that the charges be dismissed for lack of probable cause.

He was supposed to appear in court in August, but got a delay by saying he had been hurt in a pro wrestling match. He then missed a September hearing and a warrant was issued.

The complaint says Mr Sharkey told a Rochester police sergeant who called him last August that he was a vampire "who needs to drink human blood for strength." It says he referred to the girl as his wife and princess. Last August he also wrote a letter threatening to sue the county attorney's office for wrongful and vindictive prosecution.

*******OK I so have a few things to say about this here...lol I am all for people living their lives the way they see fit so long as they don't hurt/harm anyone else in doing so!!! That being said WTF is wrong with this guy?!(other then the obvious that he is insaine and a child molester) I mean they should not only grab him for the above but they should also nab him for "dating" a 16yr no matter in what way, and for insanity. As for his Lawyer, he should be locked up with him...lol I understand that they have to do their job and all but come on...why woud you even take this case, he must not have any daughters. As for the girl's Father, what is wrong with him? He talked to this 44 yr old, I would have had him arrested the momment I found out that a 44yr old was talking to my 16 yr old daughter!!! I have 4 kids with one on the way and 2 are girls. It scares me ever so with what this world is coming too!!!

Outside of True Blood

Ok So I was watching Mediums season premiere on Monday night, was a fantastic episode by the way. As I was watching the scenes for next weeks episode I jumped up in astonishment and low and behold I saw a familiar face. It was none other then our own Sam Trammell who everyone probably knows better as True Blood's sweet, caring, cute, shape shifting, bar owner Sam Merlotte! So keep on a look out for next weeks episode airing on Monday 2/9/09 at 10pm USA EST on NBC.

Trailer to be Revieled

A 60-second preview of the new series of Torchwood will premiere simultaneously in the UK and US this Thursday.

The third series, Torchwood: Children Of Earth, will air over five consecutive nights on BBC One this Spring.

The trailer will be shown at 4pm ET on Thursday at New York ComicCon 2009, where star Eve Myles and director Euros Lyn are due to participate in a panel session.

At the same time - 9pm GMT - the preview will be made available on the Torchwood website at bbc.co.uk/torchwood.

Series producer Peter Bennett previously told Digital Spy that Children Of Earth would be an "epic" tale, with a "dilemma about a subject that's going to affect all the children of Earth".
