  • Becoming Human

    So, I just watched Becoming Human, the spin-off from the BBC’s excellent Being Human. Which takes a minor character (vampire) and adds a werewolf and ghost. New characters, but the…


  • Misfits

    Is anybody else loving Misfits? I think it’s the best new sci-fi on the telly for ages. Can’t wait for series 3 next year!

  • I might have a vampire fetish…

    I like horror in general and I like vampire stuff, but no more than any other creature of the night. But now I’m not so sure. My favourite thing in…
