Here's how things will go: matches will occur every three or four days, depending on how the voting goes. So, please vote! And please tell your friends to vote! I don't want these bouts decided 5-3 or anything pathetic like that. So if you've got a blog, post a link; tell your friends on Facebook to check it out; email those not on Facebook; and if you're really desperate, talk to people in person and tell them to come and weigh in. (I realize this last suggestion is a bit radical, but we want a good turnout).
Here are the scheduled matches:
BRACKET A
The Master (Buffy) (1) vs.
Miriam Blaylock (The Hunger) (16)
Spike (Buffy, Angel) (5) vs.
Edward Cullen (Twilight) (12)
Lestat (Interview with the Vampire) (7) vs.
Damon Salvatore (The Vampire Diaries) (10)
Angel (Buffy, Angel) (4) vs.
Santanico Pandemonium (From Dusk Till Dawn) (13)
BRACKET B
Eric Northman (True Blood) (3) vs.
David (The Lost Boys) (14)
Marlow (Thirty Days of Night) (8) vs.
Drusilla (Buffy, Angel) (9)
Selene (Underworld) (6) vs.
Bill Compton (True Blood) (11)
Blade (Blade) (2) vs.
Max Schreck (Shadow of the Vampire) (15)
The fights will unfold in exactly this order, and I will post the first tomorrow.
ALSO: Anyone wishing to be a guest commentator/fight predictor is more than welcome. If there is a particular fight listed here you would like to write the blurb for, please let me know. I've already got the first two written, but everything else is open season. You can email me here.
