Tonight on Sanctuary: Sleepers
Sanctuary: Sleepers
Air Date: Friday, December 18 at 10:00 pm on Syfy
Magnus (AMANDA TAPPING) and Will (ROBIN DUNNE) investigate a number of inexplicable teenage disappearances. The common denominator in the case seems to be that they all recently spent time at an exclusive rehab clinic in Mexico.
Paying a visit to the clinic, Magnus and Will are surprised to meet the program’s director…none other than a disguised Nikola Tesla (JONATHAN YOUNG), one of the original Five.
Tesla portentously explains he has been working on a treatment that cures the teens of their addictions in merely a week. Magnus and Will know Tesla has an ulterior motive and press him to disclose the real purpose for the clinic. Unable to hold back his excitement, Tesla reveals he is actually turning his patients into Vampires.
Tesla’s treatment is designed to create a time-release of the Vampire gene, evolving his unsuspecting patients into Vampires over a 30-year period. But when one of his patients discovers the formula to speed up the process, they find themselves up against a powerful and determined group of new Vampires. Unless they can be stopped, Magnus fears Tesla may have unleashed the resurrection of the deadliest race of Abnormals ever to roam the Earth.

Time release vampire formula? well, there will always be something new in the vampire genre. I think what is the latest is the psychic vampires. they are talked about a lot amoung the vampire groups, but few know what they are about.
Here’s a cool book about them, Annie’s Gift by Holden Herbert. He takes a fresh slant on the vampire using energy harvester rather than blood drinker. THis book is about a woman coming to grips with her newly awakened psy-vamp powers. It’s scary, sexy and even funny in some parts. Check it out on Amazon.
