After months of shooting and interviewing, HBO CREATIVE SERVICES have finally delivered the two documentary style shows about the History of Vampires in popular culture.  The shows are divided in two parts, called:

 

TRUE BLOODLINES: VAMPIRE LEGENDS

And

TRUE BLOODLINES: A NEW TYPE

 

Both shows will premiere on HBO main channel on Saturday night, September 6th at 7pm and 7:30pm respectively.

 

Then again on Sunday the 7th, at 8pm and 8:30pm, which then leads up to the premiere of TRUE BLOOD at 9pm.

 

If you want to see it before then, both shows will begin on HBO ON DEMAND on September 1st and run through the end of the year.

 

So, be sure to tune in!

 

Sincerely,

Quick

Make sure to check HBO’s schedule as they frequently repeat these episodes, or they may make them available via HBO-on-Demand!

Writing contest:

 

So you think you can be creative? In fact, you’re so creative, you don’t even need a topic. No characters, no plot, nothing.

 

Here’s the deal: this is one of several contests we’ll be running during KillerCon, and this one will highlight your creative talents in a whole new way. Registrants will sign up, bring a sheet of paper and a pen, and will be told on the spot what the topic will be. Of course it will be horror-related, but that’s all the advance warning you get!

 

Writers will be given a time limit (probably around fifteen minutes) to create a piece of fiction (albeit short fiction) on the given topic, and these stories will then be read aloud before a panel of judges.

 

Valuable Prizes will be given (to be announced)! Judges will be announced at the convention.

 

Any questions, shoot us an email at killercon2009@aol.com. Just don’t ask us what the topic will be!
