Anybody else sick of Vampires?

[ElimParra]

Have zero interest in the latest Vampires stuff, like Twilight.

[The Grim Ghost]

This Vampire trend is nothing new. It's been going on for a long time. They will always be popular in one way or another, because you have the more monstrous ones as well as the suave and sophisticated ones to appeal to different kinds of people. The emo mask they wear now (which does suck) is just the newest way to sell them to ignorant children. Once a new trend takes hold that the vampiric mold can be shoved into, they will become that. Check out the cock-rockish vamps from Lost Boys in the 80s to see what I mean.

Zombies are kind of an anomaly, because a good zombie film doesn't treat them as a character. They are treated as a more natural force. Zombie movies aren't so much about the zombies, as they are how the humans react to them. Some of the better zombie movies are more about taking a look at the current state of human society through a zombie holocaust. The original Dawn of the Dead is a great example of this.

That said, every zombie/vampire movie made since the 1990s started has been total garbage (other than satiric ones like Shaun of the Dead). If you want good horror, it ends with the 80s.

I do like True Blood only because it includes more into it than just vampires. Other monsters are roaming around.

I did like Queen of the Damned.

The only zombie movie I really liked was Dawn of the Dead by Romero. What really gets on my nerves are zombie movies where the zombies shuffle along and cant run, yet the humans always manage to get eaten and killed. I'm like, "how can a zombie that is barely walking able to get you?" It would be so easy to go around and kill them.

Yeah i'm really tired of all this Twilight jazz. I guess i'm just not a 12 year old fan girl.

Twilight was horrible, Vampires playing baseball and having trouble making dinner for a human? C'mon. If I lived for hundreds of years I would be better than those idiot Iron Chefs when comes to cooking and would have more interesting hobbies than playing baseball when bored.

I am just wondering when did vampires get Superman like abilities?

Vampires suck!

Sorry.

They certainly are a pain in the neck

I have to agree there dose seem to be to many Vampire movies at present zombie ones for that matter there must be other horro things the maovie makers can beat to death. Something like the good old mutant animal ones

[Lookingglassman]

Frankenstein remake would be great. I just got done reading the book and, of course, it is nothing like the movie.

Johnny Depp as Victor Frankenstein

The monster can be either CGI or an actor made up to look horrible.

Make the story as faithful to the book as possible and it could be good.

Vampires haven't been interesting since Kindred: The Embraced.

[JuanBolio]

I am. Have been since I can remember, really. Vampires piss me off. They're basically rapists and parasites, and yet they're romanticized and drooled over be hoards of girls. Puke.

[Kestra]

Vampires terrify me.
