perhaps it's our simple need for fantasy....nothing wrong w/ that. Hello Kitty is fantasy, too, you know- a little to 'bubble gummy' for my taste. However, the attraction to the darker side of vampires....I myself find something irresistable about the handsome vampire that seduces a woman into elongating her neck for him. Who knows why?? Power? Seduction? Bad Boy? I've been watching Being Human on the BBC and find Mitchel, the vampire, amazingly sexy ( a bit older than the teen movies). There's also a sense of mystery of being so very close to something that could kill you, yet doesn't. Interesting question...
I've always had a slight interest in pretty much anything supernatural related. My favorite is defiently the Vampire because of the mystery, darkness, & imortality surrounding most of them. I get that they're not real but the idea of being able to live forever defiently has a certain appeal. And I am a night person. I hate getting up in the mornings so the whole awake at night & sleep in the day is totally my kind of thing.
I'm not saying that I got ghost hunting & believe in evil spirits & witches & all the other things that go bump in the night. But I have always believed that there are certain things that happen that we were never meant to understand & will never be able to explain.

I agree that the idea of having people living among us that have already been alive during the Middle Ages is interesting.
What I find odd when I watch those modern series and movies is that those vampires are more like ninja-vampires, always fighting, as if Dracula had been the Jacky Chan of the whites
I was thinking about the remake of " Fright Night" they're doing for next year and how it will go over. It was a cult favorite of mine, having seen it in the theater way back in 85.
It was a fun movie, not without a few plot holes but the casting overall was great. Chris Sarandon was just fantastic as Jerry Dandridge. And Roddy, perfect casting, I always liked him. William Ragsdale as Charley going unhinged at what he is up against. Evil Ed, Stephen Geoffries, I think his name is, he was perfect and had some unforgettable lines. And while I thought Amanda Bearse was too mousy for the role of Amy, watching her in it now and thinking of her as Marcy Darcy from Married With Children, I gotta laugh. Just a great Vampire movie.
But that was the 80s and now vampires have gotten pretty.... gay. I'm not sure they can make Vampires as scary as they need to be to make them good villains. In the 90s vampire hunters got a little ridiculously powerful( Blade, Buffy) and that weakened vampires a bit.
We saw Jerry Dandridge go from ultra cool ladies man to a misshapen demonic creature as he became more wounded and desperate to fight off those who wanted to destroy him. I always thought we saw his true form just before daylight destroyed him. I'm not sure how that will go over with the legions of young girls today who love sparkly sensitive vampires. Are vampires even still scary?
I look back to the first "Salem's Lot" movie and the vampire Barlow was as scary as any vampire with those Nosferatu looks. I don't even think he even spoke. I'd like to see him as a romantic interest for soem teenage girl in a movie, LOL.
" Fright Night" may not be doable. I'm skeptical of the casting already.
Vampires tend to be in good shape, they dress well, act classy, are good dancers, and have a touch of 'the dark side'. Chicks have been eating that up for centuries.
Haha...pretty much! If the vampires looked anything like the ones in the old B movie series Subspecies, none of these people would have the slightest infatuation with them.
The portrayal of vampires in those movie series seemed a lot more realistic to me than any other movie I have seen so far.
I like vampire stories...which may sound a bit weird after my next statement.
DID THEY IMBED A BRAINWASHING SOFTWARE IN TWILIGHT MOVIES??
I swear to god, if one more of my friends tells me I just HAVE to watch/read/talk about anything Twilight I may puke. The books sucked. If a book sucks, I'm going to refuse to watch the movie. It's like vampires for lovesick hormonal thirteen year olds. BAH.
Real Vampires are evolved, intelligent, romantic, and understand and appreciate life far more than mundanes do, so naturally they are a leady figure in our culture as they have been since the beginning of time.
There is nothing evil or monsterous about them, and if you think there is then you obviously lack a real understanding of what the vampire is.

~end rant~
The movies are even worse....the writing is amateurish at best, the acting (or the lack there of) is beyond bad, and real vampire do NOT sparkle (What was that chick smoking when she cam uip with that lame idea?)
