Vampire Con '09: Children Of The Night at The Vampirella Ball

23 August 2009 5:16 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

Ever see that Tales From The Crypt where the guy in the crowded bar realizes he's the only human in a pub full of vampires? That's what the Vampirella's Ball was like, except it was fun, not scary, because here, sultry female vamps outnumbered male ones four to one.

The theory that you can party all night, sleep all day, never grow old and never die because it's fun to be a vampire was put to the test Sunday night , when Vampire-Con concluded with Vampirella's Ball. Goths showed up in their classic duds to salute the subject matter. With no Blade, Buffy or Monster Squad in sight, it was a regular monster mash with more cleavage than a knife factory.

There were hordes of vampires; caped Bela Lugosi type vampires, vampires on stilts, cowboy vampires, a vampire pirate(Vampirate?), several Elizabeth Bathorys, a Gary Oldman Dracula, a Grateful Dead Vampire, »

The Lost Boys kicked off Vampire Con weekend with a bang yesterrday... Selling out the New Beverly Cinema with an audience that appreciatively clapped at beloved lines, especially Corey Haim's lament, "My own brother, a Goddamn, shit sucking vampire!" and The Frog Brothers announcing they killed a vampire "that looked like Twisted Sister!" (A nod to one of Fangoria Radio's favorite hosts...) 

Billy Wirth ('Dwayne) and Gerald McMann, Aka 'G Tom Mac', singer/composer of the film's theme song, 'Cry, Little Sister', were in attendance.

A rare print of Count Yorga, Vampire was shown (Under it's original title, The Loves Of Count Yorga, Vampire )  David J. Skal introduced both films.

Tonight, come in for some lesbian vampire goodness, with a screening of a rare print of Stephanie Rothman's Velvet Vampire(with star Celeste Yarnall in attendance), followed by Tony Scott's The Hunger. (Watch for future Green Goblin »

[DVD Review] American Gladiators - The Original Series: The Battle Begins

19 July 2009 2:54 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »

Whether you regard American Gladiators as a positive or negative piece of televised American history, it’s fair to say that the show evolved favorably with every season; keeping the best challenges and ditching the weakest in favor of new ones. The original series boasted itself as a proving ground for the up and coming athletes of its time. The commentators take great pride in talking up the individuals who appear (as did every iteration of American Gladiator), but at this early stage there’s no doubt in anyone’s mind that American Gladiators is a legitimate arena to prove one’s athletic mettle. I’d like to think that now we know this isn’t quite the case – and if the newest, short-lived incarnation of American Gladiators is any indication, we’re still quite aware of the show’s sole value to American culture: pure entertainment.
