Even though most of us are looking ahead to the forthcoming fifth season of “True Blood,” HBO has released a trio of video teasers that take us back. The three videos go on a video tour of the filming locations ending – Fangtasia, Bill’s House, and Sookie’s House – with the season’s slogan “You can’t escape your past….”

Mixing romance, suspense, mystery, and humor, the Emmy-nominated show takes place at a time when vampires have come out of the coffin and follows the on-and-off romance between waitress and part-faerie Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), who can hear people’s thoughts, and 173-year-old vampire Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer).
