My guess is they see newsstand spikes when they feature Twilight on the cover

What, no Pee Wee Herman from Buffy TVS? No love to the best vampire death scene ever!

Yes.

And I agree with those who say that no Schreck = no sale. Or, more accurately, big sale for EW since the kiddies haven't heard of him but squee over Twilight.

Salma Hayek should be on there. What a load of BS most of that list is.

Barnabas Collins should be in the top 3.

Agreed, it's no different than any gossip rag and caters to 15-year-old girls and brain dead movie fans who think Transformers is the pinnacle of entertainment. I get sent it for free and it goes right in the trash along with all the Bed Bath & Beyond coupons.

Janos Skorzeny is not on the list? Automatic fail.

I'm not a vampire fan at all, but I think the list would begin and end with Salma Hayek.

Probably because it sells lots of magazines. :D

It's on Blu-ray in Canada, but I'm pretty sure that there are no special features on it.

Buy it from Canada. It will play on the PS3 and looks great.

What was the aspect ratio for the film originally?

Because Alliance usually uses either HDTV masters that are 1080i and cropped to 1.78:1, or 1080p but still cropped to 1.78:1 and are almost always barebones.

Twilight:

OMG OMG OMFG I looooooove edward hes sooooo cuuuuute but i luv jacob as wel cause he's sooooo hot i Want to marrieee them both sooooooo much!!!!!


Hell. Fucking. No.

and as much as I've taken a liking to Bill Compton and Eric Northman, Angel will always be vampire number 1 for me until I'm fucking dead.

Or undead.

I don't really care about the fanboy hate. I've never seen Twilight, but it's popular with its segment and girl-appeal vampires are hot now, so I'll give them their entry. I think Angel is meant to be a token appreciation for all the vampires on that show. There's always going to be overlooked characters on every list, it can't be helped. But to not include Max Shreck and Barnabas Collins loses whatever credibility the list had.

It's barebones but it is the correct aspect ratio and in full 1080p.
