Okay, this is what I was waiting for. I Kissed A Vampire steps up the game with episode 2.

In case you missed episode 1, episode 2 finds Dylan (Lucas Grabeel *so cute*) upset over his emerging vampire-hood and wimping out over telling his best friend/crush Sara (Adrian Slade). The episode ended with the grand entrance of DREW SEELEY (aka Mr. Selena Gomez) playing an evil vampire.

Episode 2 picks up with Drew – we find out his name is Trey, Trey Sylvania – encouraging Dylan to turn to the dark side.

This little conversation between Dylan and Trey is a delight. I mentioned this in my review of All the Best: Fun Begins, but there is something so satisfying about watching two professionals do what they do best. Even though the material is (deliberately) a little cheesy their give-and-take is a lot of fun. Lucas bats his big blue eyes with all the earnestness of a, well, Troy Bolton and Drew Seeley has a lot of campy fun in his black eyeliner.

The song this week is the catchy “Love’s in Vein,” in which Trey explains the perks of vampirism backed by a bevy of vampirettes.

The rock video concept works perfectly here as Trey is trying to glamorize the vampire lifestyle for our young Dylan. Using the rock video format for this song expresses exactly what the dramatic purpose of the song is – Trey thinks being a vampire is awesome and sexy. Since Trey is the obvious kind of vampire, he enjoys the obvious kind of being awesome and sexy – guitars, hot chicks, and hot cars. Perfect.

We leave things with Trey charming Sara into going to a vampire party…

My verdict: Watch this one! And download “Love’s in Vein.”

‘HSM’s’ Lucas Grabeel grows fangs for new vampire musical

Capitalizing on the success of “Twilight,” “True Blood” and other blood-sucking entertainment, two prominent alumni of the “High Scool Musical” franchise are embarking on a new song-and-dance project titled “I Kissed a Vampire.”

The rock musical is set to debut on iTunes on Oct. 13. Starring Lucas Grabeel and Drew Seeley, both of whom were in the “HSM” movies, the show is pitched somewhere between a parody and a full-on sincere take of the vampire angst genre, based purely on the footage we saw in the trailer, which is available for viewing above.

From a theatrical perspective, “I Kissed a Vampire” is certainly venturing into shaky territory as far as musicals are concerned. Broadway is littered with the undead carcasses of such flops as “Lestat,” “Dracula, the Musical” and “Dance of the Vampires.” (The latter was based on the 1967 Roman Polanski film “The Fearless Vampire Killers,” which the controversial director himself adapted for the stage in the musical’s European incarnation.)

One wonders whether Grabeel and crew are taking a page from the career playbook of Neil Patrick Harris, whose Internet musical “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog” helped to exponentially increase the size of the TV star’s fan base.

In any case, “I Kissed a Vampire” seems poised to capture the hearts — and necks — of adolescent girls and gay men all over the Web.

I  have written a musical about Vampires.. actually it’s about vampires that don’t want to be vampires.. what to do? Check out the trailer. Great dancing and singing.. funny and fun

Someone took a song I wrote and produced from a film called “Cabin By The Lake” and set it to this footage from ‘Lost’. The song is sung by the great Angela McClusky of ‘Telepopmusic’ and ‘Wild Colonial’ fame. Enjoy!
