The Warmth In The Heart Of Vampires – Gothic Makeup Tutorial

The Warmth In The Heart Of Vampires – Makeup Tutorial

This Gothic makeup style that ReeRee Phillips has prepared for us focuses mainly on adorning the eyes, which allow for more experimentation with color, and the way she does it maintains a concise idea of glamour present in the look, with the end result also carrying with it a delicious expression of confidence, which is why, when I see it, I can’t help but think about vampires. This is a fabulous concept to play with, because while vampires are conceived as generally cold creatures, the […]

True Blood Season 6, Episode 9

True Blood Season 6, Episode 9

Things are heating up in the action department as True Blood gets closer to the end of season six. We’re also due a funeral to send Terry off proper and we got that tonight. To be fair, we kind of knew what would happen due to Bill’s mysterious visions, but we didn’t know how we would get there, or more importantly, how our beloved characters would get through it, or if they would at all, especially considering how much the writers have a penchant for […]

True Blood Season 6, Episode 8

True Blood Season 6, Episode 8

We left Eric clutching Nora as she meets her true death, and we start with this scene as well. Bill tries to get Eric to continue with his holy war while Eric is still holding the remains of his dead sister. Eric calls Bill out about not bringing Warlow to him in time. Eric’s bravery, or insanity, your call, during his moment of maniacal mourning was quite entertaining as he cries, “Mother I can fly! I can fly!” and “Praise Bill!” as Bill exerts his […]

True Blood Season 6, Episode 7 head love freak

As the show is still trying to downsize on the storylines, we have another death tonight. Before we can talk about that, let me catch you up to speed. The tainted True Blood is on its way out to the masses while Eric tries to save an ailing Nora. Hep V looks pretty nasty as evidenced by Nora’s blackened veins. Eric sends newborn Willa to find Pam and help her as he takes Nora to Bill on the premise that he really is God and […]

True Blood Season 6, Episode 5

True Blood Season 6, Episode 5

This episode ended on one helluva note leaving me wondering how it will all wrap up next week. Before I get into that, let me recap what happened tonight. It opened with a very pissed Sookie looking for some answers from Marlow as they’re just about to throw down, but before she fries him with her special vampire killing ball of light, and a desperate Jessica was seeking absolution while she’s dealing with a near fairy blood overdose, but the real kicker is when Bill […]

True Blood Season 6, Episode 2

Eric might’ve made a surprise bargaining chip in the Governor’s daughter, Willa, when his intended kill goes south, forcing him to take Willa and run. With the True Blood shortage continuing, the vampire chaos keeps on raging. Eric brings Willa back to Fangtasia and she admits she wants to help him against her father, claiming that she doesn’t like what her father does anymore than Eric does. She reveals that her father has a camp where humans are experimenting on vampires and it seems that […]

Top 5 Most Appalling Vegas Horror Movies

A number of Gothic.net staffers spent the week around New Year’s in Las Vegas. There was no Mayan apocalypse, but we got a little apocalyptic on our own. Besides staying up late, gambling, and drinking unusual mixed beverages, we also went to the DoubleDown to see some band I never heard of. The DoubleDown is this tiny little club, which seems to contain most of the Las Vegas dark club life, at least the portion which does not include domination upsells. I go to a […]

Panel of Experts: Favorite Monsters

favorite monsters

Question: What are your favorite monsters and what specifically appeals to you about them? A lot of us love the classic Universal monsters and could not choose just one. Some of us most fear the monsters we recognize the best for our worst impulses — murderers, serial killers, angry and sad people. Some of us most enjoy the monsters we see some positive qualities of ourselves in — vampires and werewolves and dragons we might love or tame. This perhaps means that some of us […]

Stephen King Reads Shining Sequel, Stephen King Country Gets Casino

Stephen King at George Mason University

Stephen King stories often take place in Western Maine, albeit in fictional towns like Salem’s Lot and Castle Rock. This past week, the Maine Gambling Control Board approved the first Maine casino and it is going to be in this area. Before last week, it actually wasn’t legal to even sell poker chips in Maine. Hollywood Casino Bangor was previously known as Hollywood Slots, but now it will be able to have the whole Vegas assortment of games. Stephen King confirmed this winter that he […]
