#VundaHalloweenAthon Day 11: "Bloodsuckers"

By

Welcome to Day 11 of our #VundaHalloweenAthon 

The 11th theme of the month is "Bloodsuckers." We were going to do something vampire-related but we all felt that was a little played out so we decided to broaden those horizons to include all the many kinds of bloodthirsty creatures of the night.

Today bust out your garlic and holy water as we celebrate all the insatiably thirsty creatures of scary movies. Whether you're feeling like a Dracula or just a blood sucking fiend, rack up some Pumpkin Points by watching more than one movie about bloodsuckers!

Here are a few recommendations from our watchlists...

Group Pick: Vampires vs. The Bronx (2020) directed by Oz Rodriguez is available to stream on Netflix. As the title would suggest, this is a love letter to the Bronx, being a kid, and going on a vampire hunting adventure. A great film with a lot of heart. 

D-Rock:
-From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) directed by Robert Rodriguez - 1h 48m - HBO Max
-Bit (2019) directed by Brad Michael Elmore - 1h 30m - Tubi
-Dracula 2000 (2000) directed by Patrick Lussier - 1h 39m - Paramount Plus, Pluto TV




Stephen & Dani:
-The Lost Boys (1987) directed by Joel Schumacher -1h 37m
-Let the Right One In (2008) directed by Tomas Alfredson - 1h 54m - Hulu
-Blood Red Sky (2021) directed by Peter Thorwarth  - 2h 1m - Netflix 
-Thirst (2009) directed by Park Chan Wook - 2h 13m

COMICBOOK REVIEW: Garfield's Pet Force 2014 Special

Time for a comicbook review of an unusual comic for me. Every once in a while at the comic shop, I may feel particularly random. Something odd may call to me from the shelves. This comic is one such oddity. Garfield's Pet Force 2014 Special jam-packed with two epic Garfield's Pet Force stories. What is Garfield's Pet Force? I had no idea. I'm familiar with the concept of Oddie and Garfield and watched the cartoon a few times as a kid. I wouldn't consider myself a Garfield fan in the slightest. This comic may have changed my mind on the lasagna loving cat, though. Garfield's Petforce is Garfield as a superhero named Garzooka.

The first one is called "Cat-astrophe in the Cosmos" with pencils by Gary Barker and George Lane the third, inks were done by Mark and Stephanie Heike. The story s...

-Can we officially shut the fuck up about Jake Locker now? I don't care if he was playing the Pittsburgh Steelers, 4-20 for 71 yards, a TD, and 2 INTs is unacceptable. If you take away a 45 yard TD strike to Jermaine Kearse, he was 3-19 for 26 yards and 2 INTs. He's got lots of talent and I'm sure he's a perfectly decent kid but the idea that Locker is the ultimate prospect in this year's NFL Draft is inexplicable. His Heisman campaign is obviously deader than dead at this point and I see no reason that he won't be the next Tim Couch. -Here's a random one: Kansas is down 31-10 to Southern Miss...they score a touchdown with 5:17 left in the game...and go for two?! Uh...what? Who did the math on that one? What possible scenario are they planning for? Are they planning cut the deficit to 13 instead of 14 in hopes that, in the event that they have to settle for two field goals at some point, they can still tie the game (with the addition of another touch...
