"Carl Kolchak is a newspaper reporter with an abrasive personality that has gotten him fired ten times from various big-city papers. Now he's reduced to reporting for a relatively small-time paper in Las Vegas. It's here he gets the story of his life. But will the local sheriff, or the D.A., or even his own boss, let him print it? He has an ally in the FBI agent brought in to investigate this strange case. It seems someone is biting the necks of young girls and draining their blood. Can this killer with supernormal powers really be a 70-year-old Rumanian millionaire? Can he really be a vampire? And can an aging reporter do anything to stop him?"

French born character designer Nicholas Marlet may have only recently gotten a lot of notice for his unique and appealing character designs, but he's been in the business for quite a while. He started as an animator on "Ducktales", "Talespin" and "Balto", doing character design on the latter which lead to a character designer position at Dreamworks. He worked on "The Prince of Egypt", "The Road to El Dorado", "Sinbad", "Madagascar" and "Over the Hedge". But it wasn't until his work on "Kung Fu Panda"and "How to train your Dragon" that he became a household name within the animation community.
So this is what it looks like after a few days of *getting better*!! For the record, when it begins - Every metatarsal bone starts twinging like its being low-broiled in some Southern Pork dish - after that it subsides. For months. And months. Not that lucky this time. I'd put a lot of stress on the old POS ankle a few weeks ago searching for a missing relative up in the hard scrabble foothills for nearly 4 hours. Professor Ankle did not take kindly to the non-sedative tasks required. Coupla days later he started to complain - as often happens when over tasked with his usual over-perfunctory duties . A few days later, I knew he was seriously pissed. The Movers/Loaders arrive tomorrow at 8 AM(!). Prof. Ankle still hasn't returned to his crypt. We'll be in touch soon, Jonathon Harker
After running screaming from the shittiest Ext Stay Hotel I've ever booked, I worked my way down the Strip till I found a (fantastic and) relatively cheap room at the Luxor.
