I've been horror-obsessed since childhood. Loved it all, vampires, ghosts, anything.

Those movies had the potential to look at the vampire genre in a new and fresh way...and failed miserably. I don't know if they were badly written (never read the books so I can't compare), badly acted or what...but they were just romance movies with a supernatural twist thrown in.

Give me a bloody-fanged, scary ass vampire any day :)

LMAO...

it's true.

let's see those vamps after they have lived a few hundred years and been in some scrapes....burned, hunted, drank blood from a dead person, etc.

Interview with the Vampire....my fave vampy movie.

im a bit vamp obsessed too. must be a woman thing lol. i watch vamp diaries and twilight but they ARE too teeny really. i need a wicked vampire. lestat was my fave. loved all the vamp chronicles.

I want vampires to be dark, twisted, almost psychopathic, something horrific to make me shudder. Twighlight makes me shudder only because its that bad.

Twighlight, The Vampire Diaries. All gash angsty bollox because Vampires know how hard it is to fit in. Pfft!

i do love how all the "modern" ones like true blood and stuff can have sex. and not just any sex but great mind blowing inhuman sex haha. old vamps could never get it up---being dead and all

Obeylix, ever read Bram Stoker's Dracula? It's so different from the movies...and so awesome.

For my money, the vampires in 30 Days of Night kicked some serious ass.

Yup. It has also killed the genre for at least ten years which is especially fucking annoying as I was half way through writing a vampire novel when the whole Twilight thing kicked off.

Grrrr.

I have read Stokers masterpiece. Darkness in that book manifests itself in a great deal of ways. An Awesome read!

I watched Let the Right one In the other night. The film is shit compared to the book because it leaves out a massive part of the story that makes the whole thing creepy.

the South Park episode where the goth kids are all pissed off about the "wannabe vamp kids" pretty much summed it up i think.
Twilight strikes me as "Saved by the Bell" with prosthetic fangs.

Twilight.........SUCKED......That is my opinion.......It's a total Chick flick....You want to see Vampire movies....Watch 30 Days Of Night.....

vampires suck

hahahahaaaaaaaaaaa....ahhh, i kill me.

ROFLMAO

Sarcasm, it's juicy.

I just bought L et the right one in. Very unimpressed that they did a fucking remake. The subtitled original was a great film. Tbh, and this is very bad form especially from an English student, I didn't know it was based on a book until I saw said book in eh shop the other day. Hence my need to buy it immediately :)

The book has elements that would have motivated the story a bit more

Yeah? Mind if I give you a shout after I've read it? Always enjoy a nice bit of book chat :)

Got loads of other stuff to read first like Paradise Lost (if it ever arrives) in order to get my uni work done and I'm currently in the middle of about five books, maybe six.

Swoon
