Well, my job just got a whole lot easier now that Eric Northman is primed to take a larger role in the HBO series "True Blood." ]]> http://blog.buzzymultimedia.com/eric-northman-vs-spike/feed/ 19 http://blog.buzzymultimedia.com/my-favorite-vampire-by-theresa-bane/ http://blog.buzzymultimedia.com/my-favorite-vampire-by-theresa-bane/#comments Thu, 13 Aug 2009 18:16:59 +0000 Theresa Bane http://blog.buzzymultimedia.com/?p=1612 vampires, as can be proven by the wild success of books like Twilight, the Sookie Stackhouse series, and the classic Interview With A Vampire. But for me, reading vampire fiction or watching vampire movies is difficult because I know the history and the mythology of the vampire so intimately that I get hung-up in the details. I know that authors use artistic license to make the vampire their own creation so that it best fits into the fictional world that they have created. What bothers me is that so many authors who utilize vampires in their fiction do not bother to do any research into vampires to begin with and simply alter someone else's fictional vampire into their own. Paraphrasing is not inventing, it's the watering down and streamlining of something else. To "re-invent" something that has been paraphrased is not creating something new and original. ]]> http://blog.buzzymultimedia.com/my-favorite-vampire-by-theresa-bane/feed/ 3 http://blog.buzzymultimedia.com/the-allure-of-magic-something-to-consider/ http://blog.buzzymultimedia.com/the-allure-of-magic-something-to-consider/#comments Tue, 28 Apr 2009 17:05:01 +0000 Martin Lambert http://blog.buzzymultimedia.com/?p=1163 What is it about magic that draws us in? So many realms, of fiction and fantasy, base themselves in universes where magic is real. We consume these works with voracious appetites, and scream for more.

The word we common folk use is werewolf. Part modern English, part archaic Old English and elements of the Germanic tongue all form the base of the language in which these words are written. It is from the regions where this language evolved and was spoken that the bulk of our modern werewolf mythos comes, and it is there that we can gain some understanding of the subject. ]]> http://blog.buzzymultimedia.com/werewolves-origins-in-european-folklore/feed/ 13 http://blog.buzzymultimedia.com/zombies-gods-and-voodoo/ http://blog.buzzymultimedia.com/zombies-gods-and-voodoo/#comments Tue, 27 Jan 2009 15:09:15 +0000 John Winn http://blog.buzzymultimedia.com/?p=668 Zombies, Gods and Voodoo

They come out of the grave, products of the Devil, witchcraft or experiments gone horribly wrong, stalking us as a hound stalks its prey until no one is immune from their quest for brains or souls. The fear of zombies is so engrained in us that they have been immortalized in movies and popular culture dating back several decades. Yet the reality is zombies--or at least the zombie myth--has been around much longer. In fact, they are said to predate organized religion itself. Though the origin of the zombie myth is as murky as ancient tales of old, scholars and novelists have been mining the depths of recorded knowledge, inspired by the mystery surrounding these strange beings.]]> http://blog.buzzymultimedia.com/zombies-gods-and-voodoo/feed/ 7 http://blog.buzzymultimedia.com/bite-hype-and-bandwagons-the-truth-about-vampires/ http://blog.buzzymultimedia.com/bite-hype-and-bandwagons-the-truth-about-vampires/#comments Sat, 10 Jan 2009 18:42:01 +0000 Theresa Bane http://blog.buzzymultimedia.com/?p=598 http://blog.buzzymultimedia.com/bite-hype-and-bandwagons-the-truth-about-vampires/feed/ 13
