The buzz is that the 12-part, Web-based series Blood and Bone China starts tomorrow (Sunday, March 6th, at 6pm):



Anyone here planning to watch this? I'm not certain where one goes on the Web to download/watch the episodes. Presumably at the website?

Here's a quote from writer/director Chris Stone: "The way we're making this different from other vampire series is our vampires don't turn into glitter when they're out in the sunlight. And we're going back to the original gothic horror, Victorian roots with it, which hasn't really been done since the '60s and '70s."

Ooooh, thats one to waste my internet allowance on. Thanks Nephele.

Just got the following from its Facebook page:



Also this, which may be helpful, Nephele:

That's very helpful -- thanks! So, these episodes are free through YouTube? If so, then we can all watch and start a discussion on the series here in this thread.

-- Nephele

I fully intend to watch it, yes! It's an intriguing trailer, and if it lives up to it, I think this could be a brilliant viewing experience.

I hope so. Nothing worse than a saggy storyline after a mindblowing start.

I Hope to watch all of them. it sounds awesome!

I love the bit about them not being sparkly vampires!

It's safe to say that it has no connections to that certain wuss-pire franchise, then?

Very safe to say!

Interview with Chris Stone

Definitely one for me to watch... and I love the fact it is on Youtube so if I miss it tomorrow night I can watch it anytime and catch up


I agree with Wolfie... vampires need to 'fang-up' and start the proper slaughter after all the glitter!

Hi guys!

My name is Chris Stone, I'm the director/producer of Blood and Bone China.

Yes it starts tonight at 6pm GMT time on www.bloodandbonechina.com (which is still under construction, it's taking a bit longer than we thought so I think it'll direct you straight to the YouTube channel). It's Chapter 1 and 2 tonight

Chapter 1: The Man In Black (5mins approx)
Chapter 2: The Enigmatic Mister Pyre (8 mins)

Here is a an interview I did for GetFanged about the series.

We had the prem the other night on the big screen as part of the Stoke Your Fires film festival. Chapters 1-4 were shown. On display were props and costumes from the series and the original case notes and newspapers from a real vampire case from the 1970's which Chapter 7 is based on.
Here is a short review by our local radio station

Please do get in touch as this is for you guys (you are my target audience) and let me know what you think, the whole idea of doing a hammer horror style web series is it's interactive, send me your thoughts; what you liked, didn't like. We have currently shot up to Chapter 7 so your ideas and input might affect future chapters.
Also there is chance to be in it!

Thanks for visiting us, Chris! A lot of us here are really looking forward to watching your series!

-- Nephele

I hope you all enjoy it! We've had great fun making it.
We've been to some great locations... Victorian gardens, castles, haunted pubs etc.

I'm this very second just doing some last second sound adjustments. Boosting scream levels and adding a couple of new sound effects.

So looking forward to watching this now! Thanks so much, Chris... vampires the world over thank you, too

I am so psyched for this series, I'm gnashing fangs and drooling blood.

Can we look forward to more updates here from you, Chris? Many, many thanks for the treats you've given us!
