"Yes, I saw Twilight - my granddaughter made me watch it, she said it was the greatest vampire film ever. After the 'film' was over I wanted to smack her across her head with my shoe, but I do not want a (tell-all) book called Grannie Dearest written on me when I die. So instead I gave her a DVD of Murnau's 1922 masterpiece Nosferatu and told her, 'Now that's a vampire film!' And that goes for all of you! Watch Nosferatu instead!"
hahahah! That is funny. she should have smacked her grandkid. I have to stand here at woprk and listen to 50+ year old ladies debating the merits of the twilight books. horrible horrible. infantilism needs to stop!

I didnt watch Twilight, but I've heard it's a mix between Buffy and Dawson Creek (don't fuck before you get married!)
Still, Nosferatu is super boring. I'll watch or rewatch movies with Lauren Bacall instead. |

Yes. Malkovich played the director. That movie was actually a little spookier than the Nosferatu movie.

Gotta love Lauren Bacall. I don't know shit about Twilight though. I actually have never really understood the full appeal of vampires. I've seen vampire films, of course, and they were fine. But some people just can't get enough. They're insatiable for vampires. I don't get it.

everyone's hyped up on vampires since ann rice decided to rewrite the mythos to a,llow vampires to get hard-ons.
vampires are by definition UNDEAD and posses no sexual urges nor any functional genitals. Their shit is shrivelled up and dried out.

I was actually thinking of Anne Rice when I wrote my post! ![]() But really the whole vampire/sexy thing has been around a while, at least since the 30s. Dracula was supposed to be seductive. Dracula's Daughter was actually about a lesbian vampire. In both cases nobody actually screws, unless I'm totally blocking it out of my mind. So who knows if they can get hard-ons/wet?

the "seduction" was a victorian era holdover, sexual pleasure, but disguised as rape/assualt, biting the neck and such.
and that shit is the literature vampire, quite different from the ancient folkloric vampires who were more like zombies.

Well then you'll have to blame Bram Stoker then. Then there's the succubus, who raped men in the night and stole their energy. A vampire of a different sort.

you're making huge generalisations,that's not anne rice, some of the old vampire legends include them finding wives and having children, maybe anne rice made that concept popular in hollywood, but it's flat out wrong to talk about "the mythos" as some sort of established and universal legend,actually there was thousands of different vampire myths and the idea of them having partners is not just some hollywood trend |

what literature you got?
I have read much folklore vampire tales, reasearch, and modern (last 100 years) vampire lit as well.
