This is What a Vampire Looks Like

Is the Twilight thing over yet? I lived in a blissfull state of unawareness that such a thing even existed until the first movie was about to come out. I did a small bit of research into what the books were about and every time I found out a new plot element, I honestly thought the person saying it was messing with me. “Sparkling vampires? Hahahahaha…oh, you’re serious. Wtf?” But since one of my pet peeves is people criticizing something they’ve never read/seen/etc., I gave it a shot at reading the first book. I made it a few chapters in and just had to stop.

I’ve completely backed away from vampires since the Twilight craze started. But my phase was mostly over before that, having reached its peak in my mid-teenage years when I devoured the Anne Rice books.

As for vampire movies, my top two favorites are Shadow of the Vampire and The Lost Boys. The vampires in The Lost Boys were teenagers with overly styled hair. But they were still scary and threatening and dangerous. Not sparkling emos.

If you’re a fan of the film- or live with someone that is collecting Twilight action figures that you need to counteract- this action figure of David (as portrayed by Kiefer Sutherland) is available for a bargain $9.99 at Amazon.
