Happy Halloween to everyone around the world........even in remote parts of Indonesia.........
Today, also marks the 7th anniversary of this blog, and part of the reason why it is called "The Daily Vampire" is because we launched the blog on Oct. 31st, 2008.
Our first image was of Christopher Lee who sadly died earlier this year.
Today's image is of the late Turkish actor Atif Kaptan who played Dracula in "Drakula Istanbul'da" in 1953.
Our other personal favorite vampire actor is Bela Lugosi.
Thanks for checking whenever you can, and we look forward to providing new entries whenever we can, even though there are some pessimists who strongly feel that blogging is dead (no pun intended)!

Dead or Alive (5 of 12)- Christopher Lee
Today, we resurrect (no pun intended) our Dead or Alive series for Halloween by asking if British actor Christopher Lee, perhaps best known for his title role in "Dracula Has Risen From the Grave" (1968) is still among us.
Lee was born on May 27, 1922, in London, England.
In the last entry to this series, we asked if former game show Richard Dawson was alive or dead. "Family Feud" fans will be happy to learn that he is alive as his game show which continues with another host (sorry, I don't watch much daytime tv so I have no idea who hosts the show now).

Welcome to My New Blog-The Daily Vampire
Welcome to my new blog "The Daily Vampire." I am choosing this title because I happen to have insomnia, which has been remedied in somewhat within recent weeks, but I don't see that occurring at all tonight. It is also a reference to a Cuban cult film I saw this week called "Vampires in Havana."
I am in the process of closing down my current blog "Politics, Culture and Other Wastes of Time" on AOL, as all AOL blog must close down by month's end.
Somehow, I expect to follow a similar format on Blogger, but we may try new things. One possibility I have pondered is writing a memoir in the form of blog entries.
It is ironic I am starting this blog as one of my good friends Christopher Knight of Reidsville, NC, has apparently closed his popular blog The Knight Shift down!
Chris is one of many fellow bloggers who have inspired me along the way as has my good friend Moviezzz, who somehow manages two blogs! One is devoted to film and the other is for politics.
I will probably continue my hod podge approach for the time-being.
And, I hope my old friends will join me for the ride here on this blog as well and in turn I hope to meet new folks who partake in this new blog as well. I just hope the fringe right winger who effectively told me that Bobby Kennedy got what he deserved does not find me here! But, for every lunatic there are many good folks out there from all sorts of backgrounds and political p.o.v.s. Hopefully, you are among those who I will jokingly refer to as 'the silent majority.'
