True Blood’s Anna Paquin swings both ways!
Posted by Ms Harker | Filed under Horror TV
Greetings and Salutations.
Having woke up at the dawn’s crack yesterday I proceeded to read the online papers. Low and behold there were a couple of feature articles in both the London Times and The Age (Australia) on the lovely Anna Paquin. She who plays the sometimes irritating Sookie Stackhouse on everyone’s favourite vamp TV series True Blood, is campaigning for a gay rights initiative in the USA.
The campaign run by an advocacy group called the True Colors Fund has proceeded to overheat the internet and many a young man’s (and I’m sure some ladies) fantasies alike. Why you ask? Well the tidy little kiwi unit has ‘come out’ in her public service announcement (see below for the full video) for the group stating she is bisexual.
Fangtastic play Miss Paquin, supporting a righteous and worthwhile cause, slightly controversial but a risk worth taking so all people can be considered equal. Now with my politically correct endorsement out of the way, what does this mean for True Blood Season 3…
Will we see a return of the Queen of the Vampires making a play for Sookie, leaving Bill Compton to cry into his O Negative? Or will Eric and the Queen seduce the young waitress into joining a mange a trois? Ohhhh… the possibilities of the coming werewolf storyline just got a whole lot more interesting! Awoooooooo (is that how you write a werewolf’s howl?)!!

Twin Peaks Diva: Audrey Horne.
Posted by Ms Harker | Filed under Horror TV
Greetings and Salutations.
What to write about this week has been quite the conundrum. Corey Haim’s death, the Oscars Horror tribute, that beast of a Twilight fan on YouTube who looks like she swallowed Shrek? No I think they have all been sufficiently covered. Instead I thought I would discuss one of my favourite horror diva’s from my favourite horror TV series Twin Peaks the devastating Miss Audrey Horne.
Audrey Horne was played by Sherilyn Fenn, who of the Twin Peaks ladies was the one with fabulous curves and didn’t go on to be famous for her anorexic frame ( Lara Flynn Boyle anyone?). Audrey is the embodiment of the wicked little rich girl with a secret heart of gold. The vixen virgin, constantly looking for her father’s approval, yet loathing him at the same time. She falls for the dapper Agent Cooper (who didn’t!) and proceeds to assist him investigate the murder of Laura Palmer.
Audrey’s commitment to assisting Agent Copper removes some of her bad girl image as she puts her safety on the line to infiltrate an underground brothel One Eyed Jack’s, becoming a lady of the night for a spell. This gives us an insight into her love for Agent Cooper, her ability to steam up the screen but also into her innocence.
Audrey was a style icon to young ladies during this time (well to me anyway!), the tartan skirts, tight sweaters and blouses were a must for any aspiring Twin Peaks Diva!

Whats on for 2010? Scream Queens Season 2 thats what!

Greetings and Salutations.
I’m back! I hope all of you enjoyed the festive season and received many severed body parts wrapped with fancy bows.
One of my highlights from 2009 was the VH1 reality TV series Scream Queens. This hilarious horror hoedown (and there were a number of ‘hoe’s’ trying to get down on the producers I’m sure) put 10 unknown ‘beauties’ through there horror paces to establish who would come out on top of the mound of zombies as the ultimate Scream Queen. The winner received a key role in the Saw film franchises next yawn Saw 6.
The show was hosted by Shawnee Smith (Saw, The Grudge 3, Repo the Genetic Opera), Queen of the Screams (apparently), who had the personality of a dead fish, the enthusiasm of an hepatic liver and the monotone expression of someone who was bordering on catatonia.
Thankfully Shock Til You Drop has revealed Shawnee has been replaced for Season 2 of Scream Queens, can I get a hell yeah! Her replacement is Jaime King (My Bloody Valentine, The Spirit, The Tripper), who will hopefully inject some life into the hosting role. The show has also replaced its feature director James Gunn (Slither, Dawn of the Dead), with Tim Sullivan (2001 Maniacs, Driftwood). However the acting coach all the scream bitches would love to hate John Homa, who gave me many squeals of delight, is coming back for Season 2. For a sneak peek visit to the set by Shock Til You Drop click here.
Lets hope Season 2 brings us more horrific howls of hilarity as Season One did. I will never forget the task given to the hopefuls where they had to play a mummified head in a jar. One bug eyed starlet wanna-be for some reason interpreted that a severed head would ultimately make you special needs and proceeded to play her character significantly brain damaged, much to the delight of her competitors and the chagrin of Madame Shawnee. Didn’t anyone tell her the rules? You never, ever go full retard!
