Somebody Get Me a Stake, Part Two

...or "Marketing: An Idiot's Guide".

Step 1) Take a vaguely edgy photo of Angelina Jolie. Make sure to hint at that whole "she likes to fuck with knives / she's into weird blood stuff". Avoid allusions to her having sex with her brother, unless you want to be Jon Voighted.

Step 2) Apply Step 1 to teaser poster for upcoming horror comedy film, substituting Angelina Jolie for Angelina Jolie Jr (aka Megan Fox).

Step 3) Apply Step 2 to teaser artwork for HBO horror comedy drama, substituting Megan Fox for anonymous model / possibly (but doubtfully) Anna Paquin.

Congratulations. You are now a marketing genius. The end.

On a side note, Simone and I just finished watching the first season of True Blood. It was awesome. Bill Compton is just like Edward Cullen. Only he's not an over-domineering douche bag. And there's not a vampire academy in sight!
