I was wondering what everyone thinks about the whole vampire craze at the moment?
Personally I think it has gone overboard...
The fans are REALLY scary. Like, I used to work at a movie theatre, and I worked the opening nights for all three of them. I got trampled, punched, locked in a closet, and had drinks thrown at me... and that was just at Eclipse! We're not even going to go into New Moon and Twilight... *shudder*Agreed.
I liked Twilight before it was popular, like way before. XD
Then it got popular and now almost every book in the teen section is about vampires.
The fans scare me, especially the moms who love it... it's just creepy.

So, yes, I'm against the vampire thing, mainly because I don't particularly like stuff that gets me attacked at work. I do like Dracula, but it's gotten waaaaay out of control.
Exactly.I hate how if you say, "Vampires" everyone runs out of the woodwork complaining about twilight. Um, Vampire Stories have been around a lot longer than twilight, and they will last a long time after. Stephanie Mayer didn't come up with them.
I think that's because Twilight made the vampire thing the madness it is, and they're the main reason those of us who say we don't like them don't like them. Personally, I'm not a big fan of anything that gets me assaulted at work.I hate how if you say, "Vampires" everyone runs out of the woodwork complaining about twilight.

Exactly.
I despise Twilight but I LOVE the Vampire Diaries.
Before the whole Twilight craze when you mentioned vampires people would mention Anne Rice and before that was Dracula. It seems whatever vampire film is the cinema is the next craze (I mean there wasn't all that much craze Twilight until the film version came out (then you get the elitists and the fangirls....)). I think the reason most don't speak about the older vampire stories is also that they can't say "gosh Nosferatu is sexy" like they do with the guy out of Twilight/True Blood haha.I hate how if you say, "Vampires" everyone runs out of the woodwork complaining about twilight.
