Greetings and Salutations.
Some titillating news for all you fangbangers in the land down under, the True Blood Convention is coming to our wide brown land! I spotted the news via the Vampire News blog, a good source for all things fanged.
The article by Gabrielle Faust details that the convention will be coming to both Sydney and Melbourne, on the 25th ad 26th of September respectively. Tickets range from $100 dollars for a day pass and $950 for a Platinum pass which gets you a breakfast and evening with the guests (so you may be able to rub up against Alexander Skarsgard for real not on your pillow), seats in the first two rows for panels etc, priority queuing for photo’ and autographs and a professional photo with the guests. Visit here for ticketing and more details.
With that fangtastic news I’m sure you are all reaching for your fans and smelling salts, so now to bring you back down to earth so you can achieve something with your day.
Speaking of rubbing on pillows; for those who have not seen it already here is the perfect present to get any pre-pubescent Twilight fan: a life sized Edward Cullen pillow… Now if they made Eric pillows that would be Ok wouldn’t it?

Ms Harker is on Horror Holiday…
Posted by Ms Harker | Filed under Horror Funnies
Greetings and Salutations.
Quick note to let you know that, I, Ms Harker am currently taking a break from blogging across the holiday period. I will return early in the New Year with a retrospective look at horror in 2009, whilst also sharing some of my holiday reading which has included Stephen King’s ‘Under the Dome‘, ‘The Morganville Vampires’ and an assortment of graphic novel delights. In the meantime have yourselves a haunting holiday period and a fangtastic New Year celebration!

This New Years party would scare the crap out of anyone!

Halloween Hoedown at the Harker Household!
Posted by Ms Harker | Filed under Horror Funnies
Twas the afternoon before Halloween and all through the house Ms Harker and JH were hanging cobwebs, bats, spiders, and shrunken heads. The pumpkin was carved looking a little bung-eyed, it was not important it was imperfect the point is we tried!
The Skeleton sprinkle were laid out with care, the dips were prepared, an eyeball here a severed finger there…
So the decorations were up, the table was set now it was time to strap into to my corset. I’d applied my white make up with finesse and care (hilarity ensued as the colour difference to my natural tone was next to nowhere!), painted black around the eyes, blood red to the lips, though the outfit as not exact my impression of Vampira was a decent hat tip!
The guests started to arrive, they all had the Halloween spirit, we had Zombies and Vampires, Pirates and Bush Rangers and even a jar of Vegemite ISnack 2.0 (for those of you off shore an epic fail of a product that mixed cream cheese into the Aussie icon and then rang a comp to give it a naff name!).
The ladies looked gothically gorgeous, the men scary and gruesome too, some were engrossed in their character finding victims to chew. Despite the level of inebriation we remembered to sing to JH a raucous ‘Happy Birthday’ to you!
So now in the quiet of my hangover, a cheeseburger ingested, I think back to last night with grin and a smile, that our house was Halloween Horror infested and we did it with style.
