"And then, in the late 70s, that all changed, and as with most other bad things in my life, I blame Anne Rice.

Interview with the Vampire took perfectly serviceable vampyrs and turned them into a clinically depressed pack of pathological whiners, and the damage continues to this day. You can trace a line in the suck all the way from Louis de Pointe du Lac to Angel to Edward Cullen to Bill Compton, and whether petulant Euro-fop or brooding Southern Gothic douchebag, we're now expected to sympathize with the things; to try and understand their existential crises rather than simply pound a stake in their asses and be done with it."

Agree.... enough of the Anne Rice/Twilight crap.

They made vampires appeal to women which will ruin anything as emotional state of the vampire takes over from the important things. Zombies have no emotions so they should be safe enough from the crippling effects of chick lit..

As much as I hate the brain eating scum, at least they're honest.

Not going around on roller skates under big dresses to make them look like their floating, oh la de da, make you fall in love, then drink all your blood vamps.

Even worse when you're hunting them you might stab a goth in the heart with a stake by accident.

But would anyone really mind?

After all they are wannabe vamps
at the end of the day.
