HBO aired a short promo (“Sharpen your social skills”) of Steve Newlin (Michael McMillian) impressing a girl (at what looks like a party) with his fangs. Way to embrace your new undead status, Steve! And nice sweater…

Before we can start anew with Season 5 of True Blood, we need to conjur up the goings-on in Season 4! So today, we get to tune into HBO at 6:45 p.m. ET to watch ‘Conjuring Up Season 4′ with some of the cast as they give new light about last season. The show is only scheduled to be on from 6:45 to 7:00 p.m.

Old footage, but new discussion with Anna Paquin, Alexander Skarsgård, Carrie Preston, Chris Bauer, Deborah Ann Woll, Janina Gavankar, Jim Parrack, Joe Manganiello, Kristin Bauer van Straten, Nelsan Ellis, Ryan Kwanten, Sam Trammell, Stephen Moyer and Todd Lowe.
