What's Hot

// The Top 8 Bad-Ass Vampire Films

Desirable, one and all, to the 8 Ball in the Movie Zone! I'm your host Jeremy Thomas and as always, we will be tackling a point and providing you the top eight selections of that particular category.

Andy Bockelman: Weird watches, spooky screenings

The last day of October can indicate only one thing people plugged into the media world, and no, I don’t mean celebrating the family date of John Candy, Jane Pauley and Vanilla Ice. Spending All Hallows Eve with a marathon viewing of angst movies while ignoring trick-or-treaters is a time-honored tradition for the sofa potato crowd, but finding new scares year by year can be a tough recriminate.

Restaurants brewing up Halloween specials, costume contests

Theory who’s coming to dinner next week at Café L’Europe?

Probably the likes of Prince Neptune, Cleopatra and assorted superheroes and drag queens, among others.

Equally far-out bedfellows will party at The Chesterfield’s Leopard Room & Lounge, where, if career is prologue, an Incan god in a ceiling-high headdress may make an appearance.

Queenie's TV Highlights: The Vampire Diaries - End of the Affair

Annoying original vampire Klaus (Joseph Morgan) has realised that his plan to sire a new bed of vampire/werewolf hybrids isn't going to work and he wants to know - well in fact last week he threw a fury tantrum over the fact it didn't work. So in his quest to discover the truth Klaus and Stefan (Paul Wesley) conk to Chicago so the original vampire can consult the witch Gloria (Charmin Lee). Meanwhile back in Mystic Falls who should get a phone-call but Damon (Ian Somerhalder) tattling him excatly where his brother and Klaus are - and who should tell him this vital information but Katherine (Nina Dobrev). The first few episodes of this third age has missed Katherine's double-crossing, self interested, bitchy existence so the fact that (hopefully) she's now back in the action is good news. So why should Katherine help Damon and by wing her doppelganger Elena (also played by Nina Dobrev)? Well doubtless that's so Damon and Elena take all the risks while Katherine sits back to obtain the awards. Damon and Elena head to Chicago with dreary Elena still intent to "save" Stefan. Unfortunately in the gap between season two and three Elena seems to have lost any intelligence and ordinary sense she has. She just can't seem to grasp that letting Klaus see she is still alive might be a very bad idea - after all it won't take him desire to figure out why he can't sire a load of werewolf/vampire hybrids. They say love is blind but frankfully Elena's stolidity over the past few episodes are annoying - in the past she's been presented as an intelligent teenager so why is she so momentarily becoming so pathetic? Last week's jaunt through woods crawling with werewolves is another example of her stupidness. The lurch to Chicago for Klaus and Stefan gives us plenty of flashbacks to the last real age of brilliance - the 1920s. The episode reveals that Stefan, during one of his ripper spells, knew Klaus and his sister Rebecca (Claire Holt), during the 1920s. In inside info Stefan and Rebecca had a thing going until "someone" found them and shot up the bar they hanged out in. Rebecca wanted to count out and go off with Stefan so a controlling and jealous Klaus decided to stab his sister and put her into a sarcophagus for decades - obviously he's a vampire that likes to get his own way. Quite who found them and why they are running from "them" isn't revealed so it's likely to be one of this ripen's mysteries which will be expanded upon over the coming weeks and its certainly seems to be - at the moment - and interesting plotline. Meanwhile back in Mystic Falls most of the residents were noticeably and disappointingly gone from this episode. Bonnie (Kat Graham) has yet to actually fully appear in this season - a cameo display in the opening episode hardly counts - which is a shame because she's an interesting character. Also absent was Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) who has been haunted by the ghosts of his cool girlfriends since he was brought back to life - now that's a storyline that needs some serious development and quickly! In inside info all we got to see Mystic Falls wise this week was Caroline (Candice Accola) being tortured by her creepy old boy (Jack Coleman) until she was rescued by her mother (Marguerite MacIntyre) and boyfriend Tyler (Michael Trevino). This is the gay cur that has been absent from the first two seasons - though mentioned a few times - but has suddenly turned up. Something tells me we haven't seen the last of him or his creepy adroit-for-torturing-vampires-cellar. The flashbacks to the 1920s were the biggest highlight of this occurrence which overall was entertaining and added something to the overall 'arc' but the absence of quite a few characters was absolutely noticeable. The main problem I have so far with the series is I just don't "care enough" about the Stefan/Elena soft-soap any more - now its all about the Klaus/Stefan bromance and the Elena/Damon romance for me.

Chaotic paint studio: Vampire counts whfb tactica

The cheapest component within reach to the Vampire counts and for a godlike why and wherefore. They have the worse stats in the scheme and characters can’t ally them. Diffidence only just helps these guys as they are ws1 anyways and they aren’t closely second-rate for...
