Reprise » A Blood Sucking Movie Character Survey

Now, where was I? Ah, yes…vampires. You can’t turn on any broadcast channel of late without catching something on the legendary creatures.

He puts so much thought and depth into to it that I cannot help but be drawn. And he did it again to me this week with his look at an artist that only caught me this year (better late than never, I say).
