ABC has released their midseason schedule yesterday and strangely enough Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23, Cougar Town and Scandal are missing from the lineup.

Originally planned for a January 3rd premiere date it seems ABC has changed their plans and the shows will not air as a midseason series. Some are speculating that the shows will take the place of ones that may be cancelled but nothing is certain at the moment.

Let’s hope ABC changes their minds and puts Apartment 23 on the schedule soon!

Saturday Night Live veteran Nora Dunn is stopping by ABC’s Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23.

Dunn will play tough financial businesswoman Joyce Barron who hires Apartment 23 star Dreama Walker’s character June as her intern. Dunn’s ultra demanding boss “sleeps standing up, like a cow” and June struggles to live up to her expectations.

A poster for the movie Vamperifica has been released online and it looks quite dark and awesome!

DreadCentral has posted their Vamperifica review online. You can find an excerpt below and the full review at the source.

On the surface Vamperifica may seem like all it has going for it is that it’s a quirky little horror comedy, but what I really dug about the story is that there’s a lot more going on simmering below the surface- the movie explores the ideas of bullying (without the preachiness) and acceptance but also managed to be heartfelt and funny while offering some pretty cool kills and good gore to boot. I also appreciated the fact that in Vamperifica the lead vampire is gay (without ever labeling him as such- kudos on the subtlety), making it a somewhat refreshing alternative to all the brooding vampires as of late that have made the vampire subgenre in horror feel a bit redundant these days.

The soul of Raven, the king of all vampires is reborn into the body of a flamboyantly gay college student / aspiring actor named Carmen. Two of Raven’s progeny have been desperately searching for over 200 years to find him, and want to turn him back into a vampire in order to save their dying race. Carmen’s two best friends Tracy and Peter only want to protect him, but are constantly being thwarted by the jealous vampire duo Emily and Campbell. Carmen soon must make a choice, to protect his friends or become the King he was meant to be.

It’s a quirky little comedy to say the least. The jokes were funny, the violence was a tad disturbing and the special effects were decent. It was kind of refreshing that the hero was a flamboyantly gay vampire, instead of the redundantly forlorn, brooding vampires we’re all so used to. The musical number was unexpected, but fitting to the story. The interaction between Carmen and Tracy (Martin Yurkovic and Dreama Walker) was so casual yet animated, and believable as lifelong friends. Peter (Jeff Ward) was not as interesting a character until the end, although by then I wanted to see more of him. At first I didn’t like where the ending was going, but a last minute twist rectified my opinion. I don’t know if I was reading too much into it, but the nasty-natured characters (that weren’t vampires) tended to be overweight; so I don’t know if it was a bias against the plus-sized, or it was just a coincidence.

Vamperifica was surprisingly entertaining. Vampire movies have been on a downward slide and I’m always hesitant with each one I see, but this one was silly and fun.

Total Rating: B
