I photographed a real werewolf last night. A nightmarish creature from Hell with gaping jaws and blazing eyes. But unfortunately I had the "red-eye reduction" feature enabled on my camera, and so the demonic beast just looks like a normal family dog in the picture. It fact, it more or less resembled a Puggle - the unholy result of crossbreeding a pug and a beagle - so you can at least get some sort of idea of how truly terrifying my encounter really was.
Anyway, I am hoping to barter this monstrous experience for a slot on that new, vampire-based reality show called Staked. The premise is very simple: contestants are locked inside a gloomy castle for thirteen weeks and must search the family crypt looking for a coffin bearing their name. Each week the contestant who hasn't found their coffin is voted off the show by having a sharp, wooden stake plunged into their beating heart. The eventual winner is then given the chance to turn into a bat and fly away. It's not much of a prize, admittedly, but the future merchandising options are huge.
