Are you craving a Vampire? Well, if you are it’s most likely because of the lack of Vamps in pop culture lately. New Moon’s over and gone, True Blood isn’t even on the radar and The Vampire Diaries has been off the air for quite some time, but next Thursday they come back and also have an ongoing Hot Topic tour around the country to help you get just the right amount of red-blooded Vamp fun you need this winter.

The Vampire Diaries returns on Thursday, Jan. 21 at 8 p.m./7 c, but if you more of a fix then just watching the show, check out their Twitter and Facebook page for information on the Hot Topic cast tour. So far three dates and locations have been announced, but you know Vamps they like mystery so there may just be more sightings. You can see the cast on Jan. 23 in Atlanta, GA at 3 p.m., on Jan. 30 in Paramus, NJ at 3 p.m., and on Feb. 13 in Los Angeles, CA at 3 p.m., where they will be answering questions and presumably giving out autographs.

This next episode looks to connect a lot of the loose ends left at the end of the last series of episodes in season 1. We’ll be updating on Friday with a recap and link to the video. Don’t forget to watch and see what we have to say about it.
