Vampires Are Returning To The Limelight

Vampires appeared to be all the rage at one point. Their influence in books and movies was strong, but then, over time, they seemed to take a step away from the limelight and back into the shadows. But thanks to the rising influence of horror in video games and streaming services such as Netflix, vampires are returning to the main stage. And they’re doing so in reboots of old classics. Dracula Dracula is arguably the most well-known vampire of all time, featuring in multiple movies, books, and games. The character has featured heavily all through our lives and has even managed to be the inspiration behind the successful NetEnt slot machine Blood Suckers. 2014 saw Dracula Untold hit screens around the world, proving there’s a determination to bring the famous vampire back to life. But, after an unconvincing reboot six years ago, the time appears right for leading director Karyn Kusama to create a movie, set in modern times, which

Meg Author Steve Alten Talks Sharks, New Series, Movies, And His New Interactive Site

Steve Alten, that’s a name most people are familiar with. He’s the best-selling author that brought us the Meg series which was adapted for the big-budget 2018 movie The Meg starring Jason Statham as well as the upcoming sequel. He also has an amazing new interactive website Sea Monster Cove that puts you in the water with ancient sea monsters, features a new exclusive web series, a video game, and a library of Alten’s novels, all for $9.95 a month. It’s continually evolving and adding new aquariums, new monsters, new books, and new series episodes. Before I sat down with Alten for an interview I explored the site, called Sea Monster Cove.

Where does your fascination with sharks and ancient

Does the Horror Genre Work When It’s Not a Movie?

When most people think of horror, they think of packed cinemas, lights out, tense music, and the occasional jump scare. Some immediately think of possessed dolls or haunted houses, while others think of fast-moving zombies or an alien invasion. The horror genre is one of the most widespread and can be further segmented into subgenres that have their own dedicated audiences. But what about when we remove the films and look to other media that fit into the genre? Does horror work when it’s not a movie? Books Many may dismiss horror-themed books due to the idea that ‘books can’t be scary.’ Most horror aficionados would tell these naysayers that horror genre books are scarier than most movies. The books last longer, have the tension drawn out, and through the narrative devices allow you to truly get into the shoes of the characters, feeling a personal connection to the tension. Master of horror, Stephen King, helped popularize the genre for
