A herd of sheep and HotD

     I see clones... all over the city, they just roam around. They all wear the same face and the same mind. Each one is a part of the herd of sheep, that offers them confidence and safety... or so they think. Let me paint a picture:

"It's gonna be wild!" shouts a douchebag-looking guy from the top of his lungs and drinks a can of beer in one breath. The party is at it's peak: girls are dancing to loud club music, rastafarian looking dudes are laying on the couch and sharing a joint, the jocks are swallowing gallons of alcoholic beverages through a funnel attached to a garden hose and the bathrooms are filled with people throwing up. In the second-floor toilet (or the first floor if you're british) a hipster is kneeling in front of the bowl and spilling out the contents of his stomach. Just a day before he had been to a concert (you probably don't know the band, but he was listening their music even before the other hipsters found out about it). And in the sea of people he got bitten, crazy right? So now he is throwing up after trying to solve a hangover with more booze. After 3 minutes in the stall he started coughing up blood, his eyes turned hazy and eventually his heart stopped. Soon he was found lying next to his shattered ray bans in a pool of blood. In just a split-second this nightmare turned into a total shitstorm, when the corpse ripped a chunk of flesh out of a cheerleader's neck and proceeded to feast on the victims guts. A few minutes later everyone in the herd was turned... only one girl managed to lock herself in the basement thanks to her boyfriend, who she had shoved into the hands of the undead to get a bit more time. 

       But can a wooden door keep you safe from fifty hungry college-zombies, who can hear your heavy breathing? Hell no! All she won was 4 more minutes of humanity... if you would call that kind of actions humane. Where would most likely be when the zombie apocalypse happens? In my house playing Dead Island and watching Zombieland. And when they reach me I'll be there, waiting with a shield and a sword- ready to slice some rotten flesh. If you want to be ready.. or just amused for some time, watch Highschool of the Dead. It's an anime about a bunch of highschoolers surviving in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. Warning: It might be a bit too ecchi for people, who are not used to it, but I loved it.

The nurse's breasts are ridiculous, I know.

Soviet waffles and Sparkle-Free Vampires

Firstly I want to say that waffles made with a soviet waffle iron taste like magic: I ate close to twelve waffles, but it seems that I like socialism even less now. CAPITALISM RULES!(Until I get poor and start wanting equality.)
Now onto the second topic: Sparkle-Free Vampires, no one seems to care about the classic, royal, nocturnal beasts, who made whole cities tremble with fear. Well I hope that there still are some people out there, who find the real vampires as fascinating as I do.
I give you The Blood list (all of them are equally better than Twilight) :

1. Van Helsing (2004) A brave adventurer, with his sidekick fighting against Dracula and meeting other fictional characters along the way. (Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Frankenstein's monster)

2. Van Helsing: The London Assignment (2004) An anime prequel to the movie. It gives a closer look at Dr. Jekyll's ungodly attempts to create eternal youth.

2. Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens (Nosferatu, a Symphony of Horror, 1922) This is a story based on Bram Stoker's "Dracula" with Max Schrek as Count Orlok. You might ask: "Where the hell did you get this ancient crappy looking movie?" to which I must simply reply with a "Fuck you, it's a classic! Count Orlok would fold your Edward in half and hang him up as a disco ball! Go watch your High school Musical, you fuckin' muggle!"

3. Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles (1994) A tale of a vampire's eternal life. I would call the vampires in this movie the most royal ones there are. (Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise and Antonio Banderas)

4. Underworld (2003) The story of a female vampire warrior fighting in the war against lycans. Kate Beckinsale (The lead actor) is a connection between Underworld and Van Helsing... I like her.

5. Fright Night (2011) Movie about a normal high school student whose neighbour turns out to be a vampire. I am well aware that this is a remake, but I think that the magician Peter Vincent (David Tennant) is a much awesomer vampire killer than the original retired TV-actor Peter Vincent.

6. Blade (1998) An awesome take at the vampire genre with a half-blood vampire, who kills evil vampires with a katana. I personally thought that the whole trilogy is quite entertaining.

These are some good vampire movies, but I bet there are more... Like the one with Eddie Murphy(Vampire in Brooklyn, 1995), I think it was funny and fucking creepy at the same time. I mean look at him:

"I'm the guy, who played Donkey and now I'm gonna eat the shit out of you!"

Now for some Vampire - The Masquerade: Bloodlines.
