It’s that time of the year – another Twilight movie is coming out so that means the magazines have Robert Pattison, Kristen Stewart and Jacob Lautner splashed all over their covers. However, I do have to say that I really like the cover for Entertainment. It doesn’t seem so cliche. For anyone interested, Entertainment also has a small Q&A with the love triangle.
Vampire.com has a great Chinese Horror Tale that they are sharing with everyone.
