The cast of HBO’s True Blood graces the cover of September’s issue of Rolling Stone, and it’s got readers’ gums flapping and tongues wagging.

The show’s stars Anna Paquin, Alexander Skarsgard and Stephen Moyer posed intermingled, nude and slathered in blood on the front of the magazine, next to the headline declaring “They’re hot, they’re sexy, they’re undead.”

Moyers’ strategically placed hand over Anna Paquin’s breast reminds us of another bold and sexy RS cover from the ’90s.

The image has drawn both gasps and cheers from different segments of the population, but as a show focused on sex-crazed vampires, would you expect any less?

Hey, it could be worse—at least its not the cast of Twilight.
