Jun 14 2009 - 7:30am The second season of HBO's
True Blood kicks off tonight and doesn't waste any time jumping into the scary murder madness that has engulfed the citizens of Bon Temps.
According to the show's creator, Alan Ball, everything intensifies this season: vampires are more monstrous, sex scenes are even sexier, shape-shifters become more, er, shape-shiftery, and the anti-vampire movement becomes even more zealous.
Here are more highlights from the conference call Ball recently held with reporters:
Talking about the serial killer: "The first season we, the audience, did not know who the serial killer was.
Madeleine Thompson
Anya Hindmarch
Orlando Orlandini

Sex and Violence? Sounds like a hit! I never watched the show... I actually am not a vampire person, so I'm really screwed right now since everyone is vampire crazy... haha

2TODAY IS TRUEBLOOD CRAZY DAY...IM SOOO EXCITED...IM STAYING HOME ALL DAY AND THINKING ABOUT THE SHOW...I AM GOIN CRAZY WAITING FOR 8PM!!!

4Sexier? Wow, sign me up, 'cause last season was pretty damn sexy if you ask me.
5Wow, i didn't know Evan Rachel Wood joined the cast. How did I miss that? Can't wait. 2 hours and change til showtime!
6rachel joined the cast? Oh Anna paquin better watch her man.
7i CAN'T WAIT to see ERW on the show. i feel like last night's episode did really live up to the sexier and gorier claim. there was so much more of that...and hello - anna's boobs in the first episode. i can't wait for next sunday!
8I might be in the minority here, but I was a little grossed out by last night's episode. The body in the car...unnecessary....Sookie's boobs..unnecessary...the bloody kiss...TOTALLY unnecessary...
9LOVE this show!!! I had to TiVo last night's episode but I can't wait to watch it tonight!
10It was SO good!! But I really hope Alan makes his series his own, because although I haven't read the books, I've heard that Bill gets pushed out in book 5 or something, and I love the chemistry between Anna and Stephen! I started watching this last week because of all the promos, finished all the episodes and now I'm hooked!

# scarier, and not shying away from the sexiness of the show: "This season, I did not feel like we needed to up the ante just to up the ante. I did feel like it was important to make Eric more frightening and see more of his monstrous side because as we progress we see more of his more human side. There is a scene where Sookie and Bill make love in the first episode that basically on the page it said 'Sookie and Bill make love.' Then I saw the dailies cut together . . . and I was like ‘Oh, wow! OK.’ I love it and I think that’s part of the appeal of the show. I don't think we do anything gratuitously. But it's important to show that between Sookie and Bill, there is this incredible, erotic chemistry."
13# On who Ball thinks is the most evil character: "I would hesitate to say Maryann is the most evil but she revels in chaos and destruction. She doesn't look at it from the polarities of good and evil."
# Describing Evan Rachel Wood's character: "She is going to be playing the vampire queen of Louisiana. Each state has a king or queen and the buck stops there in terms of the [vampire] politics. Evan's really beautiful and very, very pale. And she looks like a vampire to me!"
# On feeling any pressure to win awards or live up to the show's hype in season two: "I don't really think about those things. I feel like that is a real trap. I just feel like I try to do the best I can do. I don't feel more pressure, I really work very hard to stay in a
