  • The Five Worst Movie Vampires

    With the release of Twilight, we're seeing a continuation of the metaphorical "defanging" of the vampire in modern culture. Vamps used to be terrifying creatures of the night, bent on evil and slaking their undead thirst. Now they're brooding fops who want to talk about their feelings. Here are five of the worst: 5. Maximillian -- Vampire in Brooklyn (1995) One assumes Angela Bassett fired her agent shortly after she appeared in this (though Tyler Perry movies are hardly a step up). And no

  • A New Werewolf Movie Is Out: Can It Stack Up With The Five Best?

    Compared to their cinematic horror counterparts, werewolves don't get no respect. While vampires and zombies have been done to death in recent years, it's still rare to see a werewolf in a movie without some vamps thrown in to secure the teenage-girl demographic. Here then are some of the best in the shapeshifter millieu to keep you going until you get a chance to download Underworld: Rise of the Lycans.5. Wolfen (1981) Rudy Giuliani never realized the downside of urban renewal was that it dep

  • Sexy Halloween Costume Challenge For the Ladies

    Halloween is coming, and that means many, many costuming mistakes will be made by normally sane adults. To help stop this scourge, each Thursday we will be offering tips and analysis of what to avoid, or possibly what to do. While we don't know when or where we'll black out/get sick this Halloween, one thing's for sure: we'll see a bevy of boring "sexy" standbys - the slutty nurse, the Playboy bunny, the fetching feline. And thanks to the inexplicable popularity of Mad Men, a show unanimously p

  • Five Musicians Who'd Make Better Vampires than Those Sparkly Twilight Douchebags
