Fuck. This is kinda depressing, but in addition to looking kinda like an older version of them, I use facebook and read digg.
Who started Gawker? Lemme guess: white guy in a stupid T-shirt, probably younger than me.

PS: Maybe it sinks it better if we say it in the original Swedish? Låt den Rätte Komma in! Pronounced, "Lott den RE-tte KO-mma in." Funny how Swedish is so similar to English.

The Underworld franchise: Vampires wear vinyl and werewolves wear Carhartt jackets. Also, you can put ultraviolet rays in a bullet.
The Blade franchise: Vampires can go out during the day if they put on sunblock.
The Lestat franchise: Vampires like velvet and ruffles and are terribly overwrought.
The Twilight franchise: Vampires sparkle and want to hold hands.
Step 1 is getting rid of the "blood bag" cliche.
What the genre needs is an abandonment of science and a return to religious/supernatural sources. Instead of vampirism being caused by viruses or bacteria or vampires being vulnerable to UV rays and immune to the Cross, go back to the old superstitious ways. Instead of overplaying the sex metaphor, play up the thinly-veiled cannibalistic aspect.
Basically, play up the monstrousness, the rape, the evil, and the fact that, ultimately, vampires are the living dead.

For me this Twilight nonsense is really the bastardization. The cheating mistress of the genre. And not just for vampires, but it seems for werewolves too. I cringed and shouted "Fuck you!" at the CGI doggie-goes-growly transformation in the trailer. Le sigh Sucks that it seems Norway made a better vampire movie last year about young vampires than that chaste movie all the teeny-boppers seem to adore.
I say let's get back to some original movies about the bloodsuckers and stop all this mass marketed, virginal crock. Vampires are meant for an R rating. And they are not, not at all, meant to be cuddly, shiny, and moist. Nothing forever damned should be. #vampires
