I collect the various editions of the books I love, as we've mentioned; the Puffin Classics edition of Dracula, terrifying -- looks at those teeth; ALL HIS TEETH ARE FANGS FOR CHRISSAKES -- was my first.
And one of my first editions of The Wizard of Oz . This is actually a Disney adaptation that I had on cassette tape; I think I have the little record of it somewhere.
The British 'Salem's Lot ... with movie pictures!
The vampires of 30 Days of Night.
Before we enjoy vampy Josh Hartnett, let's enjoy hottie Josh Hartnett.
Some shirtless Josh Hartnett ...
... and some Penny Dreadful bisexual Josh Hartnett.
Aw, let's face it. He's a hottie even as a vampire.
Yerba Buena itself. Where have all the cultists gone?
Will the real Magdalena Solis stand up? And please stop killing people?
All hail Coatlicue!
The Monster in My Pocket Gang!
Vampire ...
Witch ...
Springheel Jack ...
And Coatlicue herself!
I owned both of the above comics when I was a kid. I wonder where they went?
Countess Erzabet Bathory, the so-called Countess of Blood. I don't know why I'd be so upset to learn that she was set-up by powerful and power-hungry dudes. I guess I want to believe that she's an inhuman demon capable of murdering 550 girls because otherwise she loses her power ...?
Ingrid Pitt as Bathory in Hammer's Countess Dracula.
And Pitt's Bathory as she's lost face ... and everything else.
BLOOD SACRIFICE!!!
Was the Reverend Lowe of King's Cycle of the Werewolf a serial killer? What do you think?
Barnabas Collins, killing people with his fangs.
And strangling the hell out of people, many of them women. That makes me feel kinda gross.
Movies floating around the zeitgeist at the time that Magdalena did her damn thang:
NOT Magdalena! This is Dagmar Overbye!!! BEWARE, BEWARE! (Although she's probably not living next door to you; Magdalena very well may be.)
