    True Blood was before Twilight.

    Too late to mention the Twi****t saga? :)

    In fairness, without it there'd be no True Blood, no Vampire Diaries, no Midnight Texas... (depending on what you think of those shows).

    ...

    I don't think I've yet seen anyone argue that the Twilight films (or books) are in any way a high point of vampire fiction in recent times. The same is true for True Blood, for that matter.

    Though if we're veering into tv show territory, I'd say that Aidan Turner's role as "Mitchell" in the original BBC version of Being Human was particularly good, and the friendship that develops between him and George was fleshed out very well.

    The vampires looked evil and were evil bastards too.

    I don't mind those types of vampire films but I much prefer ones where you see it from the side of the vampire rather than a one dimensional evil character.

    Like with Interview with the Vampire - they all hated being vampires! Louis didn't want to feed on people, Claudia was angry and frustrated as a child with the mind of a woman and Lestat was bored out of his mind. Also he was bitter too because when he 'made' Louis he said he was going to respect him and give him a choice as he didn't have the choice when he was made. I think those kind of vampire films are much more interesting.
