“Transformer” star Megan Fox features for “Call of Duty: Ghosts” new live action trailer “Epic Night Out”.

Josh Hutcherson to host ‘Saturday Night Live’ on Nov. 23rd
Josh Hutcherson to host ‘Saturday Night Live’ on Nov. 23rd
Hunger Games fans will want to set their DVRs for the November 23rd episode of “Saturday Night Live,” when Catching Fire star Josh Hutcherson hosts for the very first time.
His episode airs just one day after Catching Fire hits theaters. Earlier this year, co-star Jennifer Lawrence hosted ‘SNL,’ with her episode including a skit based on The Hunger Games. One of the jokes poked fun at Hutcherson’s oft-noted height difference (he’s considerably shorter than the actress).
It’s likely another Hunger Games-related skit will be included in the show. In fact, especially given the release of Catching Fire, it would be shocking if the “SNL” crew did NOT feature a skit about The Hunger Games.
Hutcherson will be joined on “SNL” by musical guest HAIM. One week earlier, Lady Gaga plays double duty on the show as both host and musical guest.

Vampirologists created new forum and seeking like minded members
Anthony Hogg, a writer, academic and vampire enthusiast began a blog and subsequently a Facebook page and group for those with similar interests of the undead could join and share links, opinions, and ideas. Recently, he and mass media graduate student, Sufi Mohamed, editor in chief of IndiJudge.com developed a website titled, Vampireologist to host forums and articles about vampires in mythology, pop culture, history as well as culture. He announced yesterday, Oct. 25 that they were opening the site for members. Here is who they are looking for.
This website is currently looking for members to help grow the community.Here is how Anthony describes the website:
It’s intended to unite people interested in vampires. No matter what your personal investment in the subject is, be it scholarly, a casual browser or if you’re a member of the Vampire Community, there’s a selection of groups and forums covering all aspects of vampirism.
It is to offer a free, open and respectful discussion about all aspects of vampires not just vampirologist. But, what is a vampirologist? This is how it is defined on the site:
A vampirologist, simply put, is someone who studies vampires. Is it meant literally? Do they strap vampires to operating tables and dissect them? No. So let’s clear that up right away. They study vampires as a subject through a variety of academic perspectives, be they cinematic or literary criticism, anthropological and folkloric interpretations or psychoanalytic overviews. Just to name a few.
At this time the Facebook group has 317 members and the Facebook page has 93 likes. The concept is slowly growing but it can boast of authors, actors, artists, photographers, poets, academians and bloggers to name a few.
So, if you would like to join please just click here and fill out the profile. Can’t wait to see you there.
Timely Reunion: ‘Days of Future Past’ prevails franchise’s best in trailer
Timely Reunion: ‘Days of Future Past’ prevails franchise’s best in trailer
Mutation becomes a movie franchise once again, and for a superhero sequel that strives to upkeep the equilibrium of a film plot’s evolvement on par with audience involvement.
“X-Men: Days of Future Past” breaks open a teaser trailer that hints seizing the franchise’s core cast and mood in combination with adding the stellar prequel progress made by “X-Men: First Class”.
A cut right to the chase of a returning Professional Xavier by Patrick Stewart opens as if 2000 and 2011 were the flicks juxtaposing straight toward this 2014 upcoming film.
But the largest super-cast in Marvel movie history with bookending layers of A-listers is not the only ambition that comes across throughout the trailer. That high crest showboating the familiar powers and personalities under the illuminitive spotlights of adamantium claws on to magnetic mastery has the superceding clips that highlight a bit of the bridge of past and present.
In being the first trailer, it owns the familiarity from movie-making molds. Mutation cuts two ways though, and bearing the title off the titular story arc that is a benchmark chapter in propelling the Uncanny X-Men towards its original comic book fame much has to be seen how this film is the evolutionary adaptation of the perennial work by Chris Claremont and John Byrne.
In the genesis factor, it also hearkens the marketing deliverance we might come to watch unfold until May 23 of 2014. Due to the aplenty Twitter sneak peeks that came straight from director Bryan Singer, we know that there are the infamous Sentinels sans appearance within this current rollout of clips.
Future trailers for “X-Men: Days of Future Past” may catch in time with a plot taut or loose in alignment with the comic books.

Submissions for ‘Vampire News’ 2013 are being requested
Submissions for ‘Vampire news’ 2013 are being requested
Crazy Duck Press announced that they are seeking submissions for their annual vampire anthology called “Vampire News”.
The anthology started in 2011 when Stavros and Bertena collaborated on the first issue that brought together news articles, facts, reviews, and pictures from 2011 and compiled it into a small but very interesting book called “Vampire News: Tasty Bits You Can Sink Your Fangs Into”. It was released in the spring of 2012 and was a great hit that pulled many vampire writers, actors, photographers together into the first publication.
The second publication covered events from 2012 and was published in the spring of 2013. This one was titled, “Vampire News: The Not So End Times”. It of course expanded from the first edition almost doubling in size and was a huge hit at the many conventions that its creators and contributors attended. It added a huge timeline for 2012 as well as expansive articles, news and facts.
So, now they are looking at their third as of yet untitled edition that is going to press in the first months of 2014. If you have vampire related events that occurred in 2013 such as book releases, movie premieres, conventions, book signings, etc please send the information and if possible pictures that they can use.
They are also looking for original art, photographs as well as articles, reviews, critiques, etc. Once all submissions are received then they will contact who they want to include in the publication.
If you would like to look at the last two editions, you can download them for free here. Read these and then see what you may want to submit here.
