Vampire Sex


I was surfing the web earlier when I came upon this certain scene from HBO's True Blood, inspired by Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse Novels, which exemplies what basically makes horror horrific:

If you're a true blue horror buff like myself then you'd notice that most, if not all, horror stories usually have sex, violence and gore. There'll usually be couples having sex or, in it's place, a scene that just about screams, if not blatantly implies, sex. What's horror without violence? Someone gets hacked and slashed into tiny pieces of its former self. Victims die by getting killed (no duh?!) with just about every weapon a sadistic bastard can think of. Then there's gore. Gore. Gore. Gore. Can we even make horror without blood and deaths? The difference between gore and violence is but a thin line, with gore usually attributed to the product of sheer violence. Still, it all depend on what type of horror you're making, whether it's supernatural or psychological. Either way, it'll be fun. Let's go kill some Mary Sues!

By the way, yes, vampire sex looks pretty fucked up in real life but it sure looks better on animation. Though, I have yet to see an animated version of vampire sex. Sadly, this is my first vampire sex. Thankfully, I'm not writing vampire sex in my novel project. That'll just be like bestiality or necrophilia. Ewww.

Back to Horror Anime Basics


So I still get easily distracted from my novel aspirations. Right now, I'm stuck on a rut because writing through a character's point of view isn't that easy, especially if a character is nowhere near who you are. Now, I'm thinking maybe I can get some much needed inspiration through anime. Unfortunately, the last anime I saw was Gintama, not to mention the immortal Naruto Shippuden, on ABS-CBN. Those do not help my supernatural/horror novel. Not one bit.

Here's a list of my favorite anime that borders on horror/supernatural:
  • Death Note
  • Soul Eater
  • Zombie Loan 
  • Bleach
  • D.Gray-man
  • Kara no Kyokai

I can't remember anything else so that's my top six right now. Any recommendations?

Bodies, dead bodies, everywhere!




Pathology was awesome! It didn't disappoint me one bit. It had sex, violence, gore and psychology. It could be Death Note in autopsies.

I like the psychological rivalry between Dr. Ted Grey (Milo Ventimiglia, Heroes) and Dr. Jack Gallo (Michael Weston, Miss This at Your Peril). On a certain level, they may have treated it as a friendly game of one-uppance but, obviously, when dead bodies are involved, nothing lasts that friendly for so long. It made me remember the relationship between Kira/Light Yagami and L/L Lawliet in Death Note as well as between Batman (Christian Bale, Public Enemies) and Joker (Heath Ledger, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus) in The Dark Knight. One exists to better the other. 


As Joker puts it, "This is what happens when an immovable object meets an irresistible force."

In Death Note, both died. In The Dark Knight, both were catapulted into isolation (as with Joker being sent to Arkham and Batman becoming hunted). In Pathology, however, one survives but not without a single surprising help. I won't elaborate on that since it's a spoiler already but let's just say both lost in terms of living a full life.

It's interesting how rivalries can often be good, considering the growth of an individual in his performance, but too much of a good thing will always be too much. Obsession once again plays a vital role in exceeding decency. Too much ambition can put you in the wrong place. Greed is one of the seven capital sins, isn't it?

Either way, you guys should see the movie. It'll make you think as your blood curdles with every twist and turn. Blood, nudity, violence and mental stimulation through reverse psychology. It's a horrific thriller at its best. Alyssa Milano and Lauren Lee Smith were sexy. Trust me when I say, you shouldn't miss their sensual performance in this movie. I'm talking to the guys, of course. Michael Weston showed off his abs and Milo Ventimiglia displayed his derier in a couple of lustfully artistic scenes (most of which dominated by Smith), so women won't get bored of this as well. The question of nausea for the ones weak in the gut, however, will be left for your own discretion.

Vivisection, anyone?
