Marvel Comics has just announced that there will be a new series featuring a day-walking, vampire-hunting, badass coming this fall. Blade, who was born Eric Brooks, won’t be the titular character this time out though. This time around it will be his 16 year old daughter, Fallon Grey, who will be kicking undead ass and taking names. She will also probably be taking notes seeing as she is still in High School. Fans of the Blade franchise shouldn’t be worried though, as he will still be there to mentor her as a father and train her as a monster hunter. (No word on who the mother is yet) While the comic franchise is getting a reboot, there have also been rumors of the possibility of a new Blade film, which we reported on here. Blade #1 is set to debut this October. In the meantime, stay tuned for further updates on both the comic and the film.

Imagine, if you will, a silent grave yard on a dark night. A body hunched over a freshly opened grave, surrounded by lit candles. The villain breaking through into a casket and sneaking off in the night with the skull underneath their arm. It sounds like a scene out of a horror movie doesn’t it? For the family of director F.W. Murnau, it is a grim reality. F.W. Murnau, the director of the famous silent film ‘Nosferatu’, as well as the award winning film ‘Sunrise’ and ‘Faust’, died in 1931 in a car crash at the age of 42.
