"Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever." Jude 13

" Oh, Heaven, it is mysterious, it is awful to consider that we not only carry a future Ghost within us; but are, in very deed, Ghosts!" ~Thomas Carlyle

"The absence of love is the most abject pain." ~Nosferatu in... Nosferatu

"Who'll pinch me to wake me up?
Who will laugh at me when I fall?
Whose breath will I listen for...
...so that I may sleep?
Whose hand will I hold...
...so that I may walk?" ~The Village (August Nicholson when burying his little boy.)

"I know why you denied my sister.
When I was younger...
...you used to hold my arm
when I walked.
Then suddenly, you stopped.
One day, I even tripped
in your presence, and nearly fell.
I was faking, of course,
but still, you did not hold me.
Sometimes we don't do
things we want to do
so that others won't know
we want to do them." ~The Village (Ivy to Lucious on why he did not marry her sister.)

Ivy: "Why can you not say what is in your head?
Lucious: Why can you not stop saying
what is in yours?
Why must you lead, when I want to lead?
If I want to dance, I will ask you to dance.
If I want to speak,
I will open my mouth and speak.
Everyone is forever
plaguing me to speak further.
Why? What good is it to tell you
you are in my every thought
from the time I wake?
What good can come from my saying
I sometimes cannot think clearly,
or do my work properly.
What gain can rise from my telling you
the only time I feel fear as others do...
...is when I think of you in harm?
That is why I am on this porch, lvy Walker.
I fear for your safety before all others.
And, yes...
...I will dance with you
on our wedding night." ~The Village (Lucious Hunt's response to Ivy's question if he will dance with her.)

Villager about Ivy:
"How could you have sent her?
She's blind."

Ivy's father on why she must go to the town and risk their village being found:
"She's more capable
than most in this village...
...and she is led by love.
The world moves for love.
It kneels before it in awe." ~The Village (Lucious is dying and needs medicine from the town.)

"Only that in you which is me can hear what I'm saying." ~Baba Ram Dass

"Her strong enchantments failing,
Her towers of fear in wreck,
Her limbecks dried of poisons,
And the knife at her neck.

The Queen of air and darkness
Begins to shrill and cry,
"O young man, O my slayer,
Tomorrow you shall die.

O Queen of air and darkness,
I think 'tis true you say,
And I shall die tomorrow;
But you will die today." ~A.E. Housman

In this day and age, everyone is falling head over heels in love with vampires. Well, I should be a bit more honest, the world has for many, many years been fascinated with vampires. That's okay. It can be fun. My issue with vampirism is when Hollywood decides to take a classical story of the human emotion and turn it into smut. Thanks to Hollywood, vampires are so overated. This boring as hell culture of emo/goth teens and their "blood sucking" friends that all sit around thinking vamps are sexy and swapping stories back and forth with each other about how they are a vampire and come from a long lineage of vampires and how their boyfriend or girlfriend is one and they are going to get married in Transylvania and have babies in Elizabeth Bathory's castle ruins... on and on the same story flows like wine, or blood in this case. Let me start and end by saying vampires are ugly, hideous creatures. Vlad Dracula was the man that started this fascination with vampires and he was fugly as well.

Now I'm sure I'm stepping on some self proclaimed vampire's toes. It is not my intention to get anyone all riled up. The legend is good and fun. Movies such as Nosferatu (1979, Werner Herzog's version) is a prime example of how it (vampirism) is about the inner turmoil that is within everyone of us. Then again, it was a German made film and Hollywood didn't have anything to do with it. Vampirism has nothing to do with how Brad Pitt looks as Louis in "Interview With A Vampire", or how sexy Lestat supposedly was in "Queen of The Damned" lip synching Korn songs. Not to mention Aaliyah. A scrawny, anorexic, drug addicted looking black woman who is the mother to Lestat, a white man. And, they bathe together in a bath of roses with blantent inuendo's of incest? Yeah. Okay. Score one for Hollywood. As I said, Smut.

Sexy? If all the Twilight teen's think so. But if anyone like the one's in the images below were to come to me in the dark of some terrible night, I'm positive I would puke. I'll shut up my rant now and leave you with a few pictures of what is being called "sexy"... please, by all means, enjoy.



Here we have Vlad Dracula. He looks a bit like Yanni and that is sad.


Here is Nosferatu, in one of my all time favorite movies. The German made Nosferatu. I'm no doctor, but I would say he could use some SSS Tonic, some B-12 shot's and a wig.


Stephen King's Barlow. Wow. Just. Wow.
