A Friday Funny

Free Book Friday

My author copies for THE BITE BEFORE CHRISTMAS arrived last week (yes, it’s true that authors are sometimes the last to see their own work :question ) so I’ve decided to give away a lukewarm-off-the-presses, still-moderately-smelling-of-fresh-ink autographed copy to one lucky winner here in The Dungeon for Free Book Friday.

To enter, simply leave a comment to today’s post that includes the code FBF—for “Free Book Friday,” of course—to let me know you’re interested in the drawing. (U.S. residents only, please.  Winner will be announced sometime after I get back from NJRW. :frank )

Also, since I’m away from the computer & can’t make my usual rounds of Facebook, Twitter, etc., please spread the work about today’s giveaway & funnies, & any other fun posts here in The Dungeon that you’d like to share.  Thank you! :somuchlove

With Halloween just around the corner & THE BITE BEFORE CHRISTMAS newly released, you know my vampire viewing has increased exponentially.

So here’s a list of some of my faves—& some of my greatest inspirations. :winkwink

My Top 5 Favorite Vampire Movies

5.  Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the movie)

4.  Blade: Trinity (this is about the only one I can watch; the other two just don’t do it for me)

3.  From Dusk Till Dawn (the first half has nothing to do with vampires…then it gets good)

2.  Van Helsing (I know this one has gotten a bad rap, but I really like it. And, after all, we are talking Hugh Jackman here.)

1.  The Lost Boys (a total classic…it’s funny, sexy, hip…yep, a total classic)

Honorable Mention goes to Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (also Underworld & Underworld: Evolution, but Rise of the Lycans is my favorite of the three), Dead and Loving It, & John Carpenter’s Vampires.

My Top 5 Favorite Vampire TV Shows

5.  Dark Shadows (I’m more of a fan of the “The New” Dark Shadows over the original, but that may have something to do with the fact that it was in color & also starred Adrian Paul & Michael T. Weiss. )

4.  Forever Knight

3.  Angel

2.  Kindred: The Embraced

1.  Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the series)  (DUH!)

Honorable Mention goes to Moonlight & Hex.

How about you?  What are your favorite vampire movies & television shows of all time?
