Blood-Inspired Perfume Piques Vampire Curiosity
By Larry Knowles - AOL NewsA new blood-inspired perfume may soon have an ideal group of early adopters: vampires. Last week, a pair of Italian entrepreneurs, Antonio Zuddas and Giovanni Castelli, debuted Blood Concept, a provocative fragrance line based on the four major human blood types: A, B, AB and O. While the line forgoes incorporating actual blood, the Italian duo nonetheless claim that each scent is evocative of the blood type it represents. Blood Concept It doesn't suck: Blood Concept, a blood-themed perfume line, has at least one vampire excited to sample the four scents -- O, A, B and ...

Our Year of Zombie Politics
By James Grady - Politics DailyWait: Even in politics, 2010 was the year of zombies? Sure, the hot new wonky tome "Zombie Economics" tells how "dead" economic theories walk among us to shape our paychecks, and sure, zombies lumber out of our TVs almost no matter what channel we click to, and sure, my fellow fantasy prose-slingers are flinging new novels about the undead at the dust of Stephen King and George Romero, but zombies as a metaphor for 2010's politics? Come on! What happened to vampires? Vampires are a great political metaphor! Bloodsuckers. Say no more. But zombies? Who are they in America's 2010 ...
What to Buy the Weird People on Your Gift List
By David Moye - AOL NewsDuring the Christmas season, the saying "It's better to give than to receive" gets bandied about. Sometimes, the proper sentiment should be "No good deed goes unpunished." Face it: Some people are just hard to buy for, but sometimes it helps when the gifts are as weird as the recipients. To that end, AOL News has traveled to the far edges of the earth looking for those gifts to get when you don't know what to get. For People Who Still Find Dilbert Funny Is there a person in your life whose idea of fun is complaining about how you are wasting his valuable time talking to him (or ...
Cops: 'Vampires' Stabbed Man Who Wouldn't Give Blood
By Ben Muessig - AOL News

How to Make a Zombie, Haiti-Style
By Lee Speigel - AOL News
(Sept. 21) -- The undead are all around us, and have been for decades. Zombies are in our mass consciousness, invading art, literature, entertainment and even education. But at the heart of this fear-mongering revolution is a single question: Is it all pure fiction, or are there in fact real zombies? That depends on your definition of the word "zombie." Everett Collection Zombies invade a rural area in the 1968 classic "Night of the Living Dead." For filmmakers in Hollywood, zombies are half-dead figures that lumber toward you with arms outstretched, stinking of rotting flesh. But in ...
Vampire Novelist Anne Rice Quits Christianity, but Not Christ
By David Gibson - Politics DailyBestselling novelist Anne Rice, whose 1976 novel "Interview with the Vampire" was way ahead of the current vampire craze, in the last decade reinvented herself as a Christian writer who returned to the Catholic faith of her youth and began writing books such as "Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt," which imagined Jesus as a child of 7 or 8 years old. Now, Rice has shocked her readers again by announcing on her Facebook page that she has "quit being a Christian," though late Thursday afternoon she clarified that her "faith in Christ is central to my life." "For those who care, and I understand if ...
'Eclipse:' Twilight Saga Better Love Affair for Vampire Fans than Lifetime TV?
By Judy Howard Ellis - Politics DailyThe next time a couple breaks up or faces marital problems, my first question won't be: "What happened?" I'll discreetly ask whether vampires were involved. Thanks to the incredible success of Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" series, blood-lusting monsters are apparently "killing it" as home wreckers and now breaking box office records with the release of the third film in the series, "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse." Fans are becoming so addicted to "Twilight" they are neglecting marriage and family, according to Christine Spines' story in the Los Angeles Times. Her piece quotes a 31-year-old ...
