So Halloween is two days away and the overload of scary movies and advertisements for tacky costumes is everywhere. (Granted, I walk past Ricky's Costume Store on my way to work every morning.) I thought it was about time to pay tribute to my new(ish) fetish of the vampire phenomenon. It's true. My friends think I'm a freak, but lately there has been a huge media push towards the undead. HBO's True Blood series, Stephanie Meyer's Twilight collection , and a new movie based on the series being released in three weeks.
I can't tell you how excited I am for this movie to come out. I am a movie buff, and fell in love with Robert Pattinson circa Harry Potter 4 (Cedric)...that's right, I like the HP movies too. Don't judge me. He is officially my latest Hollywood crush. What I find interesting, is that the director, Catherine Hardwicke, is actually from my hometown of McAllen, Texas. What a small world. She has a niche for darker movies, i.e Thirteen and Lords of Dogtown, so I am really interested in how she is going to capture these characters.
Anywho - if you haven't read the books - check them out. They are a quick read and quite addicting. Plus, they will get you in the mood for the Halloween season! Nothing like a good vampire cult to jump start the festivities!
Twilight is in theatres November 21st. You know you want to go.
