Alma (2009) is the brainchild of ex-Pixar animator Rodrigo Blass. Alma is Rodrigo Blaas’ first short film as a director. Originally from Spain, Rodrigo Blaas has worked in animation for more than ten years, in Spain and in the United States.
Seizing the possibility of directing his first independent short film, Rodrigo Blaas asked some of the best artists in their field to take part in this independent project: French animator Bolhem Bouchiba, character designer Carlos Grangel and Sergio Pablos, ArtDirector Alfonso Blaas, music composer Mastretta and sound designer Tom Myers.
It’s deliciously creepy and worth watching for any fan of horror.

Turf is a five-issue comic series from Image Comics written by Jonathan Ross and illustrated by Tommy Lee Edwards. I was slightly dubious about Turf mostly because of my pre-conceptions about writer Jonathon Ross.

Vampires at sea is a rare occurrence but not altogether unheard of, especially when there is booty involved. These vampires have a lust for murdering, blood and treasures but it’s also their undoing, proving that sometimes you can have too much Blood and Gold.
