Interview with Kellan Lutz from "Twilight" from Thomas Attila Lewis on Vimeo.

[I]f you drink blood that doesn't necessarily mean you're a vampire. There are blood fetishists. This is something I talk about in the book: there people who used to describe themselves as vampires and now describe themselves as blood fetishists. And I've seen symbiotic relations form between blood fetishists and vampires.

Step aside, Twilight: vampires aren't the only monsters with pangs of high school longing written all over them. Once Make-Out With Violence screens at IFFBoston on Friday, zombies will no longer be left in the corner. Traversing the tough territory of juxtaposing human emotion and unfulfilled romance with the, um, "realities" of an archetype straight out of a George A. Romero flick seems like an overwhelming task. But the Deagol Brothers, an informal group of friends working under a pseudonym inspired by the first hobbit slain by infamous Lord of the Rings' character Smeagol, were up to the challenge. After four years of start-and-stop work on the film and at a large personal monetary cost, Make-Out With Violence has finally been hitting the festival circuit with quite a response.

If Mormon (and Twilight series author) Stephenie Meyer drank alcohol, one would assume that Oliver Irving, writer and director of indie film How to Be would be first in line to buy Meyer a beer. Since anything at all connected to Twilight these days is instant box office or merchandising gold, what was once simply Irving's feature film debut is now the must-see indie for fans of Robert Pattinson, the British actor who starred in How to Be before he headed off to become sparkly vampire Edward Cullen.

We've long thought about how we should have a WTF Award for Daily Journalism. The criteria would be simple: a headline or article that leaves the reader baffled. In honor of Boston.com's "Boston Latin officials seek to quash 'vampire' rumors" article on the homepage today, we've decided that the time has come. Congrats, Boston.com. You and Twi-hards (diehard fans of the Stephenie Meyer book-turned-movie-series) rule the day.

Frank Kramer: A Celebration

Signing Appearance

Better late than never, right? In a post-Halloween hangover, we missed the first week of November book events, but don't worry--there are plenty more to come in this month. Learn about beef (the kind you eat, not the dispute kind), the OED, and your up-and-coming Bruins; participate in a Twilight costume contest; and meet Wally Lamb or Annie Leibovitz in the fine month of November. And next weekend, the New England Crimebake comes to Dedham. What more could you ask for?
