POPSIt's Monster Mash Time I was working in the lab late one night When my eyes beheld an eerie sight For my monster from his slab began to rise And suddenly to my surprise He did the mash He did the monster mash The monster mash It was a graveyard smash He did the mash It caught on in a flash He did the mash He did the monster mash From my laboratory in the castle east To the master bedroom where the vampires feast The ghouls all came from their humble abodes To get a jolt from my electrodes They did the mash They did the monster mash The monster mash It was a graveyard smash They did the mash It caught on in a flash They did the mash They did the monster mash The zombies were having fun The party had just begun The guests included Wolf Man Dracula and his son The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds The coffin-bangers were about to arrive With their vocal group, "The Crypt-Kicker Five" They played the mash They p

POPSromania's bran castle returned to the habsurgs wow- if these walls could talk...?....located on the border between Transylvania and Wallacha in central Romania, the Bran Castle is commonly referred to as "Dracula's Castle" and marketed as the home of the titular character in Bram Stoker's novel Dracula- however there is evidence that Stoker never knew anything about this castle- and Vlad the Impaler, never resided in the castle either.... it will be turned into a museum dedicated to the legend and history of Dracula.

POPSObama Election Signals Return of the Vampire "“The 1980s, the Reagan era, is the most prolific era for zombie movies,” Dendle said. “They drop off the face of the Earth in 1990, in terms of high-budget studio films.” Vampires – and Democrats – swooped back to prominence. Ten days after Bill Clinton defeated George H.W. Bush, “Bram Stoker's Dracula” hit theaters. The Clinton years were also haunted by “Interview with the Vampire,” “Dracula: Dead and Loving It” and “Blade.” Zombies returned with a brain-eating vengeance during George W. Bush's tenure: “28 Days Later,” “28 Weeks Later,” “Dawn of the Dead,” “Day of the Dead,” “Diary of the Dead.” Bush-era zombies, noted Chera Kee, a University of Southern California doctoral candidate studying these cultural icons, also wandered into video games and comic books.

POPSMcCain Campaign: Election Post-Mortems Begin
It's started: People switching sides. The rats abandoning the ship. The excuses. The questions in the newspapers and bluntly put forth on TV: What did McCain do wrong? Indeed, What did McCain do wrong? Now -- although we have to kick his butt for 10 more days -- but now it's somewhat sad like seeing a boxer past his prime being beaten to the floor. But no mercy. No pity. We have to finish the job. Vote Obama. Talk Up Obama. 10 More Days and if we race on we win, America wins. It's hard to kill these monsters, like in the movies. You gotta have a special bullet for the Wolf Man; Count Dracula has to have a stake planted in his heart. We have to continue to do it: This old man is looking foolish, speaking in broken and twisted sentences not even able to keep his words straight. The false smile painted on a face no longer convincing to anyone. What honor he once may have had now forever tarnished. His legacy now summed up with one word: failure. The Post-Mortems have

POPSTOP 20 WORST CASTING DECISIONS EVER Part IV (#1!!!!)
Oh, Keanu... At least Mike Myers worked past Wayne's World... and others know when they are in over their head. I love ya Kid but you really are missing that je ne sais quoit, that invisible element called charisma and presence. Hell, the PHONE BOOTH had more presence in the Bill and Ted Series! Do what every other bad actor did when he found he was over his head: play non-speaking roles or Native Americans! Hell, Jack Palance learned to act playing heavies and Indians and by his 70s he had his Oscar! Well, at least your debut was better than Costner and I am not talking about "Flyers" the Cycling movie. Costner began his career as the stiff (literally) in the coffin that brought old friends back together for his funeral in The Big Chill. He had over 4 minutes of footage taken with him in the casket and the editors dropped it to just over 4 seconds for release. You at least had a starring role and look, Ashton Kutcher is in your footsteps!
