petzipellepingo)"True Blood"'s 30 Greatest Moments
Posted by
Brian Juergens
In a few short weeks HBO will unleash a new season of its supernatural soap True Blood on an eager audience, and we'll be here to recap it, as ever. Sadly, the amaaahhhhhhhzing Steven Frank, who has been recapping the show brilliantly for several seasons, will not be returning this year. So I will be stepping into his shoes - and having had the pleasure of meeting Steven several times, let me assure you that they are very spiffy shoes, indeed. I hope I can do them justice.
Back when True Blood was still a fringey phenomenon and not the massive hit it is now, I was actually AfterElton's resident Truebie: I recapped the show in a weekly vlog called Blood Work!, even luring the charming Nelsan Ellis to appear in one of the early episodes. After leaving AfterElton I continued the series on my own gay horror website, CampBlood.org, and have been chronicling every sticky, sexy. and sick twist the show has thrown at us since.
Those readers newer to AE may know me from my recaps of American Horror Story or Game of Thrones - two other fantastically twisted genre shows that I have enjoyed recapping immensely. But if not, please allow me to demonstrate my obsession with the good people of Bon Temps with a hand-picked list of my favorite moments from Seasons 1-4.
Enjoy - and if you don't see your own personal fave here, share it in the comments! I can't wait to make some new memories with y'all starting on June 10.

“A 3,000-year-old vampire wants to suck my blood… Must be Thursday!” Actually, Sookie, it’s more like Sunday, June 10, when True Blood finally returns. The second trailer for season 5 (watch it below) shows more of the drama that will unfold when Russell Edgington (Denis O’Hare) is back from his cement grave. One thing is for certain: There will be blood.

chasepan)Please consider boycotting the new 2012 DARK SHADOWS movie. It is terrible. Dan Curtis never wanted his show to be laughed at and said as much. Boycott means don't go see it.

petzipellepingo)Dark Shadows (2012)
Reviewed by Owen Gleiberman
When you go to see Tim Burton's Dark Shadows, a baroquely droll and Burtonized update of the gothic oddball vampire soap opera that ran on ABC from 1966 to 1971, it seems a fairly safe bet that Johnny Depp, as Barnabas Collins, will be the freakiest person on screen. He is, but not in the way I expected. Barnabas, born in the 18th century, shows up in the fishing village of Collinsport, Maine, in 1972 after having spent 200 years in a coffin. Even amid the dope-happy, wilted-flower-power decadence of the early '70s, he cuts a distinctive figure. For openers, he's a bloody killer: The first thing he does is to slake his thirst by ripping into the throats of the workers who found his coffin. He's also an incongruous aristocrat. In his regal long coat and ascot, balancing himself on a wolf's-head cane, he walks with stiff, stately formality, and his chalky skin and sunken eyes are set off by a hairdo of staggered bangs that makes it look as if he'd just come from a Vidal Sassoon salon in Transylvania.

petzipellepingo)The Vampire Who Came Out in the Afternoon
By TERRENCE RAFFERTY
IT was “Satan’s favorite TV show,” according to a religious tract of the time. Tim Burton, 8 years old when the Gothic daytime soap opera “Dark Shadows” came into the world and not quite 13 when it breathed its last, was clearly untroubled that his viewing preferences were similar to those of the Prince of Darkness.
“I should probably have been doing homework or playing sports after school instead of watching ‘Dark Shadows,’ ” he said. “But seeing that show every afternoon, at home, in Burbank, it just doesn’t get much weirder than that.” And for Mr. Burton, the director of “Edward Scissorhands,” “Sleepy Hollow,” and now a splashy silver-screen “Dark Shadows” (opening Friday), “weird” is a term of the very highest praise.
