The Fever for the Flavor of...

By -
...some mother-effin' blood, bitches!  

Oh yes, it's vampire week here at the League so I figured I'd bust out the opening scene of one of my favorite movies, The Hunger.

Not only does it sport the hottest bisexual milf vampire ever to grace the screen, Catherine Deneuve, it featured a band that would really flavor my high school experience, Bauhaus.

A little warning, the clip features nudity and some pretty freaky fake animal violence.  Take it away, Pete!


(and no, I have no idea who or what Bar do Bulga is)

What are some of your favorite vampire flicks?

See? I enjoyed the Buffy movie, too. Purists be damned.

Some other faves...
Near Dark (cowboy spurs are hell on a throat)
Salem's Lot (bringing back Nosferatu-chic)
Vamp (Grace Jones!)
Lost Boys (seriously)
Once Bitten (I'm totally going to netflix that one, super young Jim Carey and Lauren Hutton--thanks for the memories Kelly!)
Lifeforce (naked space vampires!)

What am I forgetting?

I can't help but watch the cheesy Buffy movie whenever it's on tv. :)

Totally. It's a guilty pleasure that I don't feel guilty about. At. All.

Mark - Once Bitten is one of those movies I insisted on watching whenever it was shown on cable.

Another one I forgot - The Monster Squad!

Hey Marcello! Thanks for the youtube video!!! I saw some other stuff on your blog that made me think we might be kindred spirits, namely the Romero Crazies clip.

Boa Noite!

I'm a sucker (HA!) for dodgy vampire movies, so Buffy and Twilight get my vote.

I love Lost Boys (my introduction to boys and vampires essentially) and Underworld (who doesn't love Bill Nighy? And Kate Beckinsale in tight leather?)

I'm on a waiting list for Let the Right One In when it's released on DVD. I've heard good things, so can't wait.

I love The Hunger. The Flower Duet from the Léo Delibes opera "Lakmé" was one of my favorite pieces of music entirely because of that scene.

I like Murnau's Nosferatu and Shadow of the Vampire (how Murnau found a real vampire to play Orlok).

Polanski's Fearless Vampire Killers.

I hated Count Yorgo, but if you MST3000 it and turn it into a movie about Fred Sanford hunting Dracula, it becomes a much more enjoyable movie.

Omega Man, just because.

The Night Stalker, because Kolchak rules.

George Romero's Martin

Fright Night and the Lost Boys, because there never would have been a Buffy without these kinds of films.

Near Dark. Redneck Vampires. Nuff said.

From Dusk Til Dawn

Night Watch. Kind of a mess, but god bless the Russians for trying. Some great scenes for the three rubles they had to make this film.

Let The Right One In. omg bestest vampire film evar!

I kind of like The Forsaken and Jesus Christ-Vampire Hunter. I'm not proud of this, but there it is.

If you throw in TV, there's Buffy (of course) and a Brit show called Ultraviolet. There's another Brit show called Being Human about a vampire, a werewolf, and a ghost all sharing a flat together that I absolutely love. Not to mention Tru Blood.

I like werewolves so much more than vampires, but vampires do tend to get the better movies.

Jesus Christ-Vampire Hunter! I almost forgot about that movie. : )

THE WRITE PRETENDAS

By -

WE at the League of Reluctant Adults are pissed. Miffed. Put out. Thoroughly riled. We don't often get political, nor do we often get angry. But an angry Leaguer is an UGLY thing. Just look at Mark over there, all snarly with rage. Why are we angry, you ask? BECAUSE WE DIDN'T GET BOYCOTTED. There's this group calling itself "The Write Agenda," who claims to be a bunch of authors looking out for other authors. In reality, we're pretty sure they're a bunch of con artists who got mad at people calling them con artists. Why? Because they attack two of the best friends an author or an aspiring author can ever have: Writer Beware and Absolute Write Water Cooler . Here's John Scalzi's breakdown of what this Write Agenda is, and why they're doing what they're doing. For those not in the know, Writer Beware and Absolute Write Water Cooler are free services that collect information on agents, editors, and publishers. They report on thin...

Carniepunk Giveaway and Tour!

So, I'm sitting in my kitchen working at my laptop, as far as you know, when the doorbell rings. As any normal human being would, assuming there was a solicitor at the door or a sappy-eyed child selling diet-busting candy, I reached for my gun and slipped to the floor to avoid detection. Creeping across the hall, I lifted my head just in time to see the bestest shit-brown truck that ever existed barrel away leaving a puffy beige package on my doorstep, just like an unwanted baby...or THIS... YESSSSSSS!!! Carniepunk ARCs came!!! Now, some of you may know that this literary wonder was the brainchild of my friend and fellow Reluctant Adult, Kevin Hearne, author of such Iron Druidness as HOUNDED and star of a certain Single Ladies Dance Spectacular, featured here (feel free to witness that particular madness as you continue to read toward the inevitable contest): As excited as I am about my story in CARNIEPUNK (July 23rd), THE SWEETER THE JUICE (a post-apocalyptic zombie h...

5 Great Horror Movies to Rinse the Bad Taste of Ouija Away

In my ongoing effort to save you from studio horror movies cobbled together from the compressed shit of Hollywood burnouts, I bring you alternatives to OUIJA! #insteadofouija OUIJA has hit DVD/VOD and there's nothing we can do about that but don our gas masks, hunker down and pray for dawn. A horrifying prospect, but at least we can be entertained while waiting for the fallout to subside. Here's a few fantastic 2014 horror movie releases to make you feel like the world is still worth living... OCULUS seems to be a secret to this day. Despite some great buzz and a truly inventive style of storytelling, bouncing back and forth in time so fast the audience is left in a constant state of unease. The story wraps itself around a rapidly deteriorating family relationship brought to the brink of insanity by the presence of a haunted mirror. And that's where things get weird. The acting is pretty above average and the horror set pieces are jarring. OCULUS wasn't my fav...
