Johnny Depp on Dark Shadows Movie

According to Vampires.com, Johnny Depp is now talking about his much anticipated movie adaptation of Dark Shadows. They report that "though he's wanted to play Barnabas since he was a kid, Depp is still in the process of figuring out just how to show off this character on the big screen." Depp says of his character: "'He's coming around...He's a guy who I think is going to be very interesting. He's going to be a lot of fun in a very outside and strange way. I'm excited.'"

He also adds of the delays in the start of the movie, which was originally reported to film in 2010 but has been moved to 2011: "'I'm working on the script, and it's been kind of a long time coming, but I think I'm getting a script that I like,' he said. I don't really like talking because I'm not really sure what's happening yet, but I'm excited about it. I think, yes, finally for me, it's getting to be the right tone.'"

Psychic Vampires – What Are They? by Allison Mac

Psychic Vampires – What Are They? by Allison Mac

 Historically a psychic vampire has been a creature that lurks in the dark or shows up in ones dreams and drains them of their life force, leaving them listless and ill.  Folklore and literature is full of occurrences of these psychic vampires.  What significance does a psychic vampire have in today’s world though?

Some would say that the ‘past’ psychic vampires were simply a way of describing what today would have been diagnosed as leukemia, chronic fatigue syndrome, or iron deficiency.  Without words in the past to describe these illnesses, people assumed they must be caused by something ‘evil’ like a psychic vampire.

However presently there are many people who describe themselves as psychic vampires and try to help, teach and educate us about them.  A psychic vampire would be described as a person who is unable to generate their own energy or store their own energy and therefore needs to obtain vital energy from outside sources.  A psychic attack then takes place where the psychic vampire receives energy and the victim experiences a great loss in energy.  Many psychic vampires are not even aware of what they are doing consciously.

These are some traits of a psychic vampire:

•    Low energy
•    Needs constant reassurance
•    Never feels satisfied
•    Craves nurturing
•    Feels abandoned or rejected

These psychic vampires create experiences of havoc for their victims, often unknowingly so that they can feed on their energy and feel better themselves.  We are not however incapable of protecting ourselves from a psychic vampire attack.  The best way to protect oneself is to put up an energy field around ourselves.  A psychic vampire simply uses what little energy they have to feed on our energy.  So we must put up a shield to block their energy.  Every day put up a white light shield of protection around yourself and you will not be susceptible to psychic vampires.

We have all had the experience of someone zapping our energy.  A psychic vampire is simply a term used to describe such a person who does this.  We all have energy that we can work with whether we put it to good use or to bad use.  Use your own energy to shield yourself and you’ll be amazed at how much more energized you feel.

Simon Pegg as Dracula, even for a party, is hilarious! I would LOVE to see him in a vampire comedy. I'm betting they could do for vampires what Shaun of the Dead did for zombies.

A large part of me is glad to see the return to the frightening vampires that I grew up with. Just don't tell my evil twin that writes vampire romances.

Interview Requests

Today, interview requests are going out for the new non-fiction piece I'm working on. I'm more than a little excited about this book. While I can't give much information, I will say that it's in keeping with my general love of vampires and the paranormal.

It's an enormous undertaking where research is concerned, but it's the fun kind! I'm already learning things I didn't know, which is a little surprising to me. I thought I knew all there was to know on the... Well, I can't say more.

Just keep coming back. I'll give you all the good news soon! Maybe some of these interviewee's will even let me interview them for the blog.
