The Review A Vampire Movie/Talk About Vampires for An Unstated Length of Time Blog-A-Thon is underway! (Updated 7/29)

YES YES. The blog-a-thon has started, and Ghidorah over at Acheter et Entretenir Sa Tronconneuse has even beaten me to it by being the first post.

Ghidorah has been checking out some Vampire Call Girls over yonder! Give it a peek, drop some comments his way, but just remember, it's in French and this post is very NSFW. If you can't read French, there's an English translation over here.

Taliesin at Taliesin Meets the Vampires, an amazing blog that has been brought to my attention by Curt Purcell of The Groovy Age of Horror, has been delving into 99 Coffins! He says it's a page-turner!

Be sure to check out Taliesin's blog, as it has quality posts AND is all about vampires, and he will probably be getting more mentions here as well, with the blog-a-thon rolling on.






Petra over at Lil Blog of Horrors has read and written about Bloodsucking Fiends: A Vampire's Love Story, which I misread as Bloodsucking Freaks, a Troma film. Check it out, as Petra is a fantastic writer and has a blog I check on a daily basis.


Taliesin has posted again at his blog, this time pondering over how Mr. Vampire 3 encorporates vampires. Read about it, as he mentions some interesting things, even delving a little into Western cultures.

Taliesin has also posted about Mr. Vampire 4 as well, and will continue on to Mr. Vampire 5 to complete his look at the Vampires or Not movies. Check out the Mr. Vampire 4 review! Check out Mr. Vampire 5 here.
Also, check out Taliesin's post about the Gilligan's Island vampire special here!
Again, Taliesin comes through with two new vampire posts - a review of the book X Rated Bloodsuckers and a look at the Chinese vampire movie Vampire Vs. Vampire.
Check out Taliesin's post on the vampire-related Hercules episode!
Taliesin posted about the campy film, Santo in the Treasure of Dracula!

Nick over at Trash Aesthetics has posted his own opinion on the top 10 vampire babes, since he disagreed with Bloody Disgusting on the chicks they picked. Check it out here, as his blog is quite in-depth and interesting.

Bill over at The Uranium Cafe has joined in for the festivities, posting on Romero's Martin. Give it a look for yourself, as this is his first post in the blog-a-thon.

A fellow Tana Tea Drinker, Arbogast, has given us his views on the "bulge" in classic vampire movies. Instead of trying to explain this to you myself, why not pop over and check it out, as Arbogast writes elegantly and interestingly on the subject.

Justin over at Zombie vs. Shark has posted his first blog for this blog-a-thon, which seems to be going on and on and on and on - blame me because I haven't finished up Bite Night - where he reviews John Carpenter's Vampires. He didn't love it, but it's a little less than scathing. Check it out!

NEW!!! We have a new addition to the program, that which is Skinny Rydell over at The Harvey Klinger Experience. He has posted on what it takes to be a vampyr, so check it out!

This has got to be the longest blog-a-thon ever!

Happy to be a part of the blog-a-thon. I must be away for a week or so. I amy try to finish my Martin post tonight but I do not know. I am on a plane before sunrise. I have some other vamp films I will comment on too as well, some Hammer movies I have here and a couple eurosleaze type things. Thanks for the great blofg and enthusiasm you show. I blogrolled you finally, sorry it took so look. Scatterbrained.

I am going to begin some posts where i promte blogs I like. The sort of "professional ones" and the ones like ours that is a labor of love. By professional I mean ones where there appears to be a staff working on them and sometimes they are sponsered by someone or something else, like a magazine. I begin to see the value of the LAMB and the community there.

I will surely promore your site, and Chick's and Taliesin's and Joe Valdez's with a short critique and screen shot. As well as other's I find "worthy" of my impeccable taste.

More blodsuker stuff coming from me in the next week or two.

That should be "bloodsucker stuff" and not "bludsuker stuff" there. if you knew how much time was spent correcting my typos here you would surely shed tears for me>

Justin said...

Hey! I've put up a post for this here blog-a-thon at my website, Zombie vs. Shark.

Ryne said...

Thanks a lot, Justin!

Seems the vampire blogathon is still going strong. I finally updated my Martin post and will do a couple new vamp posts, on a couple of the Chris Lee Hammer Dracula films and maybe some Eurosleaze as well. No point in letting the sun rise on the blogathon yet.

L.W. "Skinny" Rydell said...

Hi Ryne. I'm honored to be included in this impressive blogathon. I'm going to read the "Martin" posts right now. It's definately one of my favorite Romero movies.
