Fans of The Vampire Diaries and Supernatural will be happy to know that The CW has renewed both shows, along with Gossip Girl, 90210 and America’s Next Top Model. That leaves Smallville, One Tree Hill, Life Unexpected, and Melrose Place waiting to hear about their futures.
According to Michael Ausiello, Smallville (keep your fingers crossed… it just started getting good) and One Tree Hill have the best chances of surviving out of the four shows.

Once again Elena finds herself kidnapped by vampires as bait. This time it isn’t about Stefan though. Her captors have no use for him, Damon is the one with the journal with the secrets of opening the tomb and unleashing all of the vampires inside.
Damon continues to act nonchalantly while Stefan desperately tries to find a way to save Elena. As Stefan begs him for any information he might have, he simply says that he hopes they kill Elena. The bigger reason why Elena was kidnapped actually has nothing to do with the Salvatores. She’s there to make sure Bonnie opens the tomb and releases the buried vampires. Elena ends up actually feeling sympathy for one of her kidnappers as she’s only doing what she’s doing to get back at the mother she lost over a century ago.

Prison Break’s Frank Grillo has joined Luke Mably, Janina Gavankar and Chandra West for ABC’s new supernatural/crime Drama, The Gates.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the show revolves around a big-city cop – played by Grillo – who discovers that there is something darker going on with the residents. Richard Hatem of Supernatural and Grant Scharbo serve as writers.
The Gates starts shooting in late March in Louisiana and is slated to make its debut this summer.
Now that Stefan has agreed to help Damon in his diabolical plan, unleashing Katherine and nearly two dozen other blood thirsty vampires locked by a powerful spell for over a century, Damon puts Elena to work as well. Of course, he so elegantly does this while Stefan and Elena were still in bed with one another, claiming they’re all essentially family now and it’s nothing he hasn’t seen before.
Unpleasantville takes us back to the ‘50s with a rocking sock hop. Feeling in the spirit of the decade Elena tries to find out more about Stefan’s life in this time and tries to get a feel for the poodle skirts and milkshakes that movies have put in her mind. After a little prying Stefan even busts out his dance moves, romancing Elena on the dance floor. Of course, they can’t forget what they are really doing there. The vampire Elena ran over has been stalking her, even dressing up as a pizza delivery boy in order to get the ever so desired invitation in. Elena discovers this after he attacks her after hanging from the ceiling, Stefan arriving just in time to save her.

Here is a horror team up I never thought I would see — Freddy Krueger and Angel from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. According to TV Guide Robert Englund will be playing a creepy custodian on an upcoming, “slasher-themed episode” of David Boreanaz’s TV show Bones.
“The story finds jaded Brennan (Emily Deschanel) planning to skip her high school reunion, until a murder sends her and Booth (Boreanaz) to the scene to investigate.”
Well after the 2 month hiatus The Vampire Diaries is back and stronger than ever. This has a lot to do with the deviously charming Damon, which should come as no surprise. He’s as funny as ever with his snarky, sexy, sinful allure. This episode is full of laughs when he’s on screen, adding so much life and spark during his scenes. I’m thrilled that now that they’ve established Damon as this dangerous, selfish character, especially in Elena’s eyes that they’re starting to move on by pairing the two with each other for majority of the episode.

After finding demonic and dark drawings from a fellow Gilbert, Jeremy begins drawing again for the first time since his parents died. He takes this dark direction for his inspiration as well.

Meanwhile, Stefan and Damon find they have some leftover business in town just when they were about to leave for good. There’s another vampire in town and the sheriffs found a body he left behind. It doesn’t take long for Damon to figure out it’s Logan, who the Salvatore brothers thought to be dead, and everyone else thought he simply left town. Logan attacks Damon and demands answers, craving to be a day walker like Damon and Stefan are. He doesn’t bother keeping a low profile, trying to get attention from Elena’s aunt, Jenna. Elena and Stefan finally get together, but just in time for Elena to find out the secret of why Stefan was attracted to her in the first place.

I already stated that I think the TV show Scream Queens is one of the worst reality series ever, however, it just got a little more interesting.
Jamie King (My Bloody Valentine) and Tim Sullivan (2001 Maniacs) will be joining acting coach John Homa for the second season. There is no one who loves Tim Sullivan more than Tim Sullivan, making him the perfect Reality TV show judge or mentor.
Bonnie’s supernatural background comes back to haunt her when her dead ancestor, Emily, begins to take over her mind. Damon works even more aggressively to get back Bonnie’s necklace. We learn the significance of this jewel, it turns out it belonged to Katherine. Before Katherine died she gave it back to Emily, [...]
At a book signing for his new novel, Under the Dome, Stephen King said that he had “one more Dark Tower book to write.”
The S.K. message board followed up his announcement with the following details: “Stephen has given me permission to pass along that he has an idea for a new Dark Tower book, the working title of which will be The Wind Through The Keyhole. He has not yet started this book and anticipates that it will be a minimum of eight months before he is able to begin writing it.”

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is very sacred to Horror Yearbook and so is its creator Joss Whedon. So we are sad for him that Fox has decided not to renew his TV show Dollhouse. The good news for Dollhouse fans is that Fox will air the rest of the episodes beginning in December. Something they did not do with Firefly when they canceled the show before it had a chance to finish its ongoing story.
Hopefully Whedon has learned his lesson and will give up on the major networks. With the way the Scy-Fy channel handled its successful Battlestar Galactica show, it is odd that Whedon hasn’t decided to develop a series for them. He should really consider it.
Next up for the writer is his horror film The Cabin in the Woods slated for a 2011 release. Meanwhile his fantasy/thriller Goners sits in development hell.

Scream Queens may be one of the worst reality TV shows ever! First of all striving to be a “Scream Queen” is career suicide. Just ask season one winner Tanedra Howard, who is now stuck acting in a dying Saw franchise with nowhere to go. I can’t imagine being the winner of a reality TV show really opens many doors for an actress, especially a crappy one on VH1.
As a horror and reality TV show fan I can say Scream Queens is a dumb idea, and I’m surprised they’re bringing it back. However, since they have decided to give it a second season that must mean someone is watching it, but the fans of the show are going to have to watch it without judge James Gunn.
