‘Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl’

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

‘Nuff said.

Basically, the super-strong vampire girl offs her rival for a boy’s affections, figuring the mortal is done for. But when the other girl gets made over like Frankenstein, it’s two undead creatures battling for dominance. I know what…

Newsflash! Vamps Can Be Ugly

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009
