I'm looking forward to the new Nosferatu and I'm hoping (I know, probably in vein, lol) they'll use Type O Negative for the soundtrack. But yes, I agree, Vampires need to be scary again. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is mentioned here and yes, the main character does have a thing for Vampires but in that series we are also reminded of how wrong it is for her to fall for those vampires. She herself, knows how deadly vampires are and as a metaphor for high school I think it works well.
Also, true blood was mentioned here. While I enjoyed the series, the books were so much better. Again, yes she fell for Vampires, but Charlaine Harris also made sure they were as scary as she could while still progressing her story. I think there's a lesson here in who is the real monster?
Anne rice’s interview with the vampire was my generation’s “twilight”. It still holds up. Even in its brutality, Louis’ romanticism with the life he wanted vs what he got is definitely a seed to this softening. I recently re-read it, and it’s also very queer in its definition of what love could/can be. So far from the older “scary” vampires of yore. That being said, the show on now, even though the time is moved forward, is still great.
