Blast from the past!

You know what's a good vampire movie from the 80's? No, not Lost Boys, though that was good. What? No not Fright Night, though again, a good one. I'm talking about Vamp. I just saw it again recently and I still enjoyed it after all these years. It's a lot of fun. True there is an appallingly unlikely bit at the end involving barrels of gasoline, oh and there's also the albino stereotype. But apart from those two things, it's a pretty good movie.

The screen writer was given a title and these instructions; it must have college kids, stripers, and vampires. I think he did a pretty good job within those parameters.

The DVD includes a the short film that got the director the gig. It's a sort of musical disco comedy called Dracula Bites The Big Apple.

Give it a chance if you happen upon it in the video store.

Vamp gets 4 out of 5 bloddy crosses.

Stick Guy

Do you like free stuff? Do you like Role Playing Games? Then check out this very simple, very funny, very FREE RPG- StickGuy by Chris Gunning.

Why am I telling you about it here? Because they had a contest to create a new stick setting for Stick Guy and the winner was VampStick: The Stick Parade by Jason Black.

"In the World of DarkStick, VampSticks, horrible undead bastards that feast on the blood of StickMortals, not only exist, but also have lots of power for no real reason. VampSticks love to flaunt their inexplicable power; both supernatural and political, over the StickMortals they prey upon. VampSticks do not bother to hide, knowing that they could trounce a mere StickMortal and drink his blood.

Most StickMortals live in fear of the VampSticks, doing as they're told and going about their business, all while trying to avoid having their blood sucked out. Some strive for power though, and become the lackeys of the VampSticks, even going so far as to become VampSticks themselves, should they manage to impress their masters.

There are other StickMortals though that grow weary of living in the shadow of these unholy creatures, and dedicate their lives to hunting and slaying VampSticks. Known as StickHunters, these hard bastards have access to ancient knowledge, magic and angry rage, and pose a significant threat to the VampSticks."
