Finally had the chance to visit THE castle

Jonathan had it harder, I’m sure, but as a tourist it was a beautiful visit in a beautiful country

Vampire alien's of House Of Ashes

Vampire alien's of House Of Ashes

I love House Of Ashes, is one of my favorite games. A little bit of the plot:

A military unit searching for chemical weapons unearth something far deadlier. In the ruins of a buried Sumerian temple deep beneath the Arabian desert something evil is awakened. Savage and unstoppable, a nest of ancient and unearthly creatures has found a new prey to hunt.

In this game is said that these vampires came to earth, and had a beautiful culture, they somehow had art, music, until they start some kind of war among them and almost get exterminated. This game is pretty good, the characters are amazing, the playability and how the decisions you make affect the story is horrific, highly recommend.

The "Near Dark" vamp crew.....

So I finally got this movie after years of searching (didn't want to resort to ordering online for some crazy price).... it would be the first time watching since way back then in the late 80s when I saw it on cable as a relatively new movie.

This is still one of the great classic vampire films out there... but there's a thing that irks me that is fresh on my mind now---- the "family" of vamps in there (*though yes that term vampire is never used in the film) are kind of dumb in terms of adhering to schedule. We keep seeing them being somehow caught off guard by the sunrise....always scrambling to cover the windows of whatever vehicle they're in, or trying to find a place like a cheap motel to go sleep during the day, etc. This seems like it would be "Vampire Basics 101" that any rookie needs to learn asap....being mindful of the time so you're not literally burning to death while frantically trying to find shelter or put black-out curtains up and all that. There's definitely no excuse in a group---someone would be sure to be that voice of reason reminder like "hey guys c'mon----sun's coming up probably in the next 30 to 40 minutes....time to go."

I'm also not a fan of there being a process of "curing" vampirism; that just always seems lame to me; it should be a permanent condition.

...it is a shame that this has almost no chance of ever being rebooted though, despite Hollywood's love of rebooting/remaking everything.... it is a movie that is mostly forgotten or unheard of at this point....only known by a *few* from my generation (Gen X) and maybe some from the younger end of the Boomers.

How the The Glory of the Duchy of Carniola, told the story of the first Vampire in history

In the early 17th Century, Jure Grando terrorized his widow and the villagers of Kringa for 16 long years after his death, until the locals finally took matters into their own blood soaked hands. And it was all recorded in a book called The Glory of the Duchy of Carniola.
