When the wonderful Ms. Charlaine Harris sat down to scratch out the first lines of Dead Until Dark, the first of The Southern Vampire Mysteries that would go on to become the basis for HBO's series "True Blood," there's no way should could have known it was going to go on to become the mega-hit we know today.

We at Dread Central love a good publicity stunt. The crazier, the better. So when Fox Home Entertainment invited us down to the Hollywood Forever Cemetery to pimp the upcoming release of "American Horror Story" Season 1 on Blu-ray, we knew we were in for something special.

Next week "American Horror Story" Season 1 hits home video, and we have your chance to score a copy on Blu-ray (and a little something extra) right here. Whatcha waiting for? You gotta be in it to win it... or something like that!

With all the buzz surrounding the October premiere of Chapter 2 of "American Horror Story," we didn't want you to forget that Chapter 1 is hitting Blu-ray and DVD on September 25th. Here are a couple of sneak peeks of the extras to be found in the package.

The sun is about to set on Season 5 of HBO's "True Blood," and we have a couple of clips from this week's penultimate episode, appropriately entitled "Sunset." Is Jason about to undergo a transformation?

After loving the "True Blood" Vampire Authority earlier this season, we're now ready for things to come to a head with that group and for Bill and Eric to get back to Bon Temps. Check out this preview of Episode 5.11, "Sunset," to see if we get our wish.

It's Thursday afternoon, which means it's time for HBO to cut loose with a few clips from the upcoming episode of "True Blood". Check out three sneak peeks of Episode 5.07, "In the Beginning"; it marks the start of the second half of what's turned out to be a pretty good season so far.

Well, this is a shocker: "American Horror Story" has tied "Mad Men" to lead the nominees for 2012 Emmys with 17 nominations each. It did so in the category of "Miniseries or Movie" rather than "Drama Series", but we'll take it. Read on to learn what other genre shows are in the running - yes, "The Walking Dead" makes an appearance!

We're halfway through Season 5 of "True Blood", and while we're definitely liking it better than Season 4, we're a bit miffed they killed off one of our favorite new characters last night! But the preview for next week's ep features Russell (another of our faves) so we'll forgive them this time.

Ready to check out a preview of the second half of Season 5 of "True Blood"? Well then, thanks to Comic-Con, pull up a chair, grab a mint julep, and drink it in along with some highlights of the panel that took place during the event.

With all the Comic-Con news we've been inundated with this week, we almost forgot about the regular stuff! But never fear - here's your weekly dose of "True Blood" previews for Episode 5.06, entitled "Hopeless".

HBO must have picked up on the fact that a lot of "True Blood" fans really enjoyed the last episode because they've released a new featurette giving an in-depth look at the upcoming Episode 5.06, "Hopeless". Strike while the iron is hot, I always say!

This week's installment of "True Blood" was a nice return to form for the series so we're hoping for more good things from next Sunday's Episode 5.06, entitled "Hopeless". Here's a promo video for you to check out. But seriously, all we want is a good showdown between Russell and Roman, and we'll be happy.

Ever wished you could be "Immortal"? Well, it's time for "The Final Countdown" to this week's episode of "True Blood", entitled "Let's Boot and Rally", and these two clips just might be your answer!

Boot and Rally: to throw up after excessively drinking, then continuing to party and drink more. Yep, that could certainly apply to several characters on "True Blood" after the events of tonight's show. Maybe this preview of Episode 5.05, "Let's Boot and Rally", will narrow things down a bit.
