Hot for Zombies?
Vampires are so yesterday’s news.
Because now that the New York Times Style section has declared the undead as the “it” thing (thanks, didn’t KNOW there was a trend!), their reign is sure to be over soon, this article posits.
After all, once the Times writes about something it’s mainstream. So what’s coming next in your supernatural stew? “The Frisky” points out that now that Daniel Radcliffe is now “of age” he’s officially “crush-able” so girls may now admit they’re swooning for the wizard especially since the sixth filmic installment contains the most romance so far in the series.
Werewolves are another potential lust object, especially with the New Moon film releasing in the fall. But there is the hairball factor with werewolves, admittedly a big deterrent.
So what are we left with? Ah, yes. Zombies. “The undead are eternally sexy, and maybe all we need is a Robert Pattinson type in an Herve Leger-esque zombie suit to resurrect the walking dead and make it the new of-the-moment arm candy,” The Frisky says. “These post-mortems are inherently less erotic than other beautiful beasties that go bump in the night, but with the right actors and plot, I think this could happen.”
What’s your pick? Wizards, zombies, werewolves or are you sticking with vampires?
Woody Harrelson Believes in Vampires (And Zombies)
I just had the pleasure of reading one of the most eye-opening and encouraging articles I have seen in ages. Why was it so hopeful, you ask? Because this article offered more evidence that we here at the Bloodcast News Network are not alone! There are others like us – others who are unafraid to speak publicly about the existence of the undead.
OK, so maybe it involved a little altercation and we certainly don’t promote violence here at the BCNN. Still, hear me out. Apparently, Woody Harrelson attacked a paparazzo at LaGuardia airport because he thought the photographer was a zombie! He issued a statement saying: “I wrapped a movie called Zombieland, in which I was constantly under assault by zombies, then flew to New York, still very much in character. With my daughter at the airport I was startled by a paparazzo, who I quite understandably mistook for a zombie.”
Look, I’m not saying the actor should have hit someone. Not at all. But I like to find the silver lining and to us here at the BCNN, that silver lining is a celebrity recruit in our epic battle against the undead! Thanks for joining our team, Woody!
Check out the Telegraph report because it also details our filmic fascination with the undead, both zombies and vampires, and their history on the screen.
Yours in Vampire Preparedness,
Chris
