Check out this brilliant new promotional poster for the new futuristic vampire film Daybreakers! Something tells me there will be yet another line of vampire-centric energy drinks being produced soon. If you’re looking for additional news on Daybreakers be sure to check out the new interview with Willem Dafoe now up on Dread Central (click here).


Another interesting take on the “search for a blood alternative” comes in the form of a nonfiction piece on the Science Daily site entitled “Vampires and the Search for an Artificial Blood Substitute” (click here).

The Twilight book trilogy has ‘vegetarian’ vampires living on animal blood and in the TV series True Blood, Japanese scientists have developed a synthetic blood substitute. However, in the most recent blockbuster movie Daybreakers, vampires suffer a horrific fate when attempting to drink their blood substitute. Back in the real world, the hunt for a blood substitute could not be truer. In fact, the quest to create artificial blood is big business, with more than one billion pounds being spent over the last 20 years in an attempt to create a true alternative to blood.

Seems the line between science fiction and reality becomes more and more blurred with each passing day, doesn’t it? Keep an eye on that neighbor of yours if he starts any unforeseen new nocturnal habits. He may turn out to be part of a vampire plague after all.
