A Week of Red (Riding Hood)






I cannot wait for Red Riding Hood to come out on March 11 -- especially after reading the YA novel. I downloaded it on my Nook and knocked it out in about two days (reading after work and before bed).

To celebrate, I am going to spend this week on details about Red and the Big Bad werewolf!

I know the site is supposed to focus on vampires, but I think that this sort of material qualifies, doesn't it?  

It's all about potential supernatural bad boys (check) and revamping the old fairy tales in a modern way (check) and reminds us of Jacob Black . . . 

Only white guys this time (check) . . . unless you count the ultra-pale Edward Cullen into the discussion of cute white boys.  This also harkens back to the badass Grimm days.  From what a colleague was telling me earlier this week, the original had some sexual undertones and murderous activity between ol' Red and the Wolf. She said that Red even got into the bed with the wolf sans clothing?

No matter what might happen in the movie or the novel, here's what to expect this week from Vampified:

   A review of the novel and a surprise new chapter release
   How to get the real cape from the flick
   Red Riding Hood Halloween ideas
   Wolfy posters and crafts
   Pictures on set
   A review of the movie 
   Short story contest (by you, the readers!)
For now, check out the movie's website



You can download posters, icons and wallpaper as well as "Red Riding Hood" yourself (see above) with pics from your computer, FB or your webcam here.  Aside from the goodies and videos, the site also has links to enter to win various sweepstakes and prizes that range from movie tickets to a Dell computer and other electronics.
