“Excuse me, Ms. Moore? Did you just say vampire because-”

“Yes, yes I did. I’m retiring because I’m a vampire. Next question, please.”

After the initial shock of Tabitha’s claim, the press conference continued and was a somewhat successful publicity stunt. It concluded with Phillip showing a trailer from Tabitha’s film in production entitled RAVEN EMPRESS , which displayed a scantily clad Tabitha posing over the caption “Blood is Beautiful.” Many reporters rolled their eyes. It was a bit much.

About 3 months later, she got into a spat with film Director Ron Howard. “Gee, I don’t know, Tabby. Show more skin? We could lose the PG rating.”

“You have got to be kidding, Ron. Don’t be such a Potsie!”

He rolled his eyes. “Do you know how many times I’ve heard that one? Geez, Tabby, this is serious.”

“Alright, Ron – just let me show you the new costume.”

When she returned from the dressing room, Ron nearly fell off his chair.

“Well?”

Ron smiled and began to sing. “I found my thrill – on Blueberry Hill.”
