Can I add a plug for a good vampire series? Try Fred Saberhagen’s Dracula books. I have no idea why *The Dracula Tapes *or The Holmes-Dracula File haven’t been made into movies yet.
I give you Forever Knight.
I’m moving this from The BBQ Pit to Cafe Society. If the Cafe Society moderators think this is over the top for Cafe Society, they are welcome to move it back to the Pit.

Well, zombies will certainly get tiresome, but they’ll never be annoying i nthe same way that, say, Lestat is.
Nobody thinks zombies are sexy, and zombies don’t spend a lot of time weeping about how unfair it all is, and that they never WANTED to eat human flesh and…
“I Vant to suck your brains!”
I agree with you. Great book, by the way*. Another author making the same point is David J. Skal in Hollywood Gothic, the Monster Show, V is for Vampire, and others
Skal repeatedly points out that Dracula is emphatically NOT a Romantic hero, by any means, and that movies that try to make him out to be one (especially the Dan Curtis TV version and Coppola’s Dracula, both of which have him seeing one of the heroines as the reincarnation of his dead wife (!!)) are seriously out of touch with the novel.
*I quoted Barber approvingly in my book. I got some extremely useful insights from it. In return, he cited my book approvingly in the next one he wrote with his wife, When they Severed Earth from Sky. I’m grateful, especially since their conclusions are a bit different from mine. Something they were nice not to point out.
Quoth Biotop:
Constable Reginald Shoe, of the Ankh-Morpork City Guard, would dispute that.
The force also includes a golem, a werewolf, and a great number of trolls and dwarves (but no vampires!).
I see a discrimination suit in the making.
Yeah, I was surprised Twilight was successful because I thought the vampire thing had been driven into the ground already.
The line is beginning to blur already between zombies and vampires. They’re both former-humans who want to eat you. What were the things in I am Legend anyways? The scenes where he was running from the hordes of vampires is virtually identical to the hordes of zombies in Resident Evil.
Who said zombies can’t be romantic?
Freddy from Return of the Living Dead;
Freddy: [to Tina] See? You made me hurt myself again! I broke my hand off completely at the wrist this time, Tina! But that’s okay, Darlin’, because I love you, and that’s why you have to let me EAT YOUR BRAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIINS!
That’s love right there 
She’s a maenad, which has been explained in the last two episodes. How you are watching True Blood and still not sure, really? 
Well, Sesame Street has “The Count”. Maybe they can do an episode where the mutated remains of Bert rise and walk the Earth - call him “Inert”.
Ernie: “Hey, Inert! Hey, Inert! Stop eating my brain, Inert!”
You rang? (I’ve only read Second Sunrise and enjoyed it, don’t want to go spoilerizing more than the comments in Amazon may).
Oh, and in Thud!, there is a vampire cop in Ankh-Morpork’s police (she’s a loaner, but she’s also very much a vampire and very much a cop).
I concur 
QFT.
I agree, except there are no vampires in Twilight. “Sparkelpires”:rolleyes:
[del]We Werewolves[/del] Werewolves get no love. 
Only in the Furry community 
Unless she’s played by Kate Beckinsdale – or so I gather from other posters in this thread.
