There are a few vampire classics I have yet to see, but there's a special place in my heart for "The Lost Boys" and the hilarious "Love at First Bite". Now dig in, all you nightwalkers!

Villains to Avoid!!!

I saw "Alex Cross" in the theater yesterday and while it's not the best movie, I thought Matthew Fox (who has come a long way since "Party of Five") was soooooooooo creepy and superb in the role. So... it got me thinking about movie villains. I'll give you a few good ones to start, but who are YOUR favorites and why? Be sure to head on over to http://www.facebook.com/LyndaHalliganTV to post your choices. Here's also a clip to get you in the mood.
