UPN Gets Buffy Key Picks

Key episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer—including the critically acclaimed "The Body" and the Emmy-nominated "Hush"—have been withheld from syndication to give UPN a chance to air them first, the Zap2it Web site reported. UPN worked with Buffy executive producers Joss Whedon and Marti Noxon on picking which episodes to air during the show's brief three-week hiatus in December.

"Hush" will air Dec. 11 at 8 p.m., followed by "The Body" on Dec. 18 and "Buffy vs. Dracula" on Dec. 25. New episodes will continue airing on New Year's Day.

Will Smith told the Latino Review Web site that he's considering starring in a proposed film based on Richard Matheson's classic SF novel I Am Legend. "I Am Legend, I am looking at that right now," Smith told the site.

Smith's statement seems to confirm rumors reported earlier on the Ain't It Cool News Web site that Smith was in line to star in the film, to be directed by Michael Bay. Bay also told AICN that no deals have been signed yet with Warner Brothers.

Vampires : Encounters With the Undead
by David J. Skal (Editor)

Hardcover - 603 pages
(October 2001)
Black Dog & Leventhal Pub;
ISBN: 1579122094

Book Description
According to legend. Vampires live forever - and our fascination with them seems equally enduring. Perhaps what springs to mind when you contemplate these elusive, terrifying creatures is a flickering, black-and-white image of Bela Lugosi in full evening attire, gliding down a towering staircase bidding his unwitting guests a civilized "good evening" or, with a swirl of his cape, metamorphosing into a bat and disappearing into the light of a full moon. But if the Hollywood version of Count Dracula is the one most indelibly etched in our minds, it is by no means the first or only incarnation of the vampire to haunt our dreams and capture our imaginations.

In this towering collection, featuring two centuries of spine-tingling literature, lore, ephemera, and history, noted vampire authority David J. Skal takes us on an unprecedented tour through this most captivating of subjects. From classics of the world's literature to pulp magazine serials to actual historical accounts, Skal has packed this volume with great, bloodcurdling writing. There's even an interview with a contemporary, self-confessed blood - drinker!

Every page of Vampires also features a column of commentary by Skal, expanding and reflecting upon the stories and exploring the evolution of the vampire mystique in folklore, Literature, and popular culture. Some 200 beautifully rendered black- and- white images, most from Skal's extensive personal collection and ranging from vintage engravings to film stills and posters to pop - culture artifacts, make this book a true Vampire's Feast.
