After a busy week this looks like being a quieter day, but lets get started.
A few more sites running with the "Dear Dracula" news, a CGI film in the works. Movieweb has a piece here, and the Hollywoodnorthreport has a piece with a couple of sample bits from the graphic novel.
Ahh... Twilight & MTV awards day today. No doubt tomorrow's news will be full of Twilight being the bestest movie ever, as voted by tweeny sparklie loving veggie whiny vampire fans. First links of what will no doubt be many are here. Here is the official MTV piece on the awards (Thanks to Deaana at Vampire Cafe for spotting)
Vampire Cafe also spotted this...behind the scenes look at "Dylan Dog", an Italian graphic novel featuring vamps, among other critters.
Here is news of a production in New York. Dracula will be showing at the Geva Theatre centre in Rochester NY on Friday 19th June and Sunday 21st June. Full details are here.
QuietEarth has done a review of "Blood : The Last vampire" here.
This isnt new, but i just spotted it today - for those of you that like to read up on vampire lore and it's origins, have a look at this.
Possibly the big news of the day...UK Tabloid TheMirror has news that Jennifer Ellison is to have a role in "Carmilla" based on the cult Victorian novel of the same name which pre-dated Bram Stoker's Dracula by 25 years.
A piece from Gabrielle Faust's Eternal Vigilance site now. Angeline Hawke's collection of Horror has gone on sale here.
Taliesin's review of the day is "Black Blood Brothers" a 12 part vampire anime series.
Blog news i'll start putting down here... added a few bits today! I've created a "Vamps on Stage" calendar, that hopefully over the coming weeks as i find stuff, i will populate with vampire plays, musicals and productions wherevere they may be. I've also added the Sublime Requiem forum to the links, and created a little chunk for Vampire Communities - sites that have forums but a lot more content to go with them. So far that section has the Darkness Embraced site, and the Vampirefreaks site. Finally...I got tired of the default bland logo at the top so i spent 15 mins in photoshop knocking something together that i think looks ok.

Two pieces from Gabrielle Faust's Eternal Vigilance site now. Red Scream Vampyres and Red Scream Nosferatu. Twilight this is NOT! There are fangs, blood, gore and violence! Vampyres is now available from amazon, and pre-orders are being accepted for Nosferatu.

Twilight stuff now... Rottentomatoes.com has some new stills from the "New Moon" film. And then there is this... i mentioned earlier that MTV seems obsessed with Twilight, now they have it up for the "Best fight of the year award" at their MTV movie awards. All i'll say is this - MTV, have a night out in Doncaster, you will see more violence there, and quite possibly better acting and more drama. Much more chance of seeing fangs also...
Deaana at Vampire Cafe has spotted this... 89 stills from New Moon filming.
Following on from yesterday's news that the Castlevania film project fell to bits again, The Examiner has a piece on the console game here.

Buffy Returns...?
Big news today is speculation that Buffy the Vampire Slayer is going to get a second film...lots of sites running with it, but as far as i can see there is nothing signed, just interest from the director of the first film (Fran Rubul Kuzui, NOT Joss Weldon) and talks about it. Soon as something becomes definite, I will post it here of course! Best of the articles is here, from Rueters.
The Examiner.com has a piece on "Let the Right one in" here, and a piece on "Vampire : The Requiem", White Wolf's RPG game here. Incidentally, there were rumours 6 months ago that White Wolf were working on a MMORPG of "Vampire : The Masquerade", an online game that thousands could play together online... everything has gone quiet, but that is something that I personally would love to see happen.
Grafvw.com has a review of "Dead and Gone", latest in the Sookie Stakhouse series by Charlaine Harris here.
This is new... "A Vampire Tale" is on the way to film, one of "The Breathing Dead" Novelettes.
Taliesin's review of the day is "Underworld : Rise of the Lycans"
