Unlike most vampire fans I know; I HATE Anne Rice, and Laurell K Hamilton.
I like my monsters to actually be scary. I don't want to pity the thing under the bed.
And don't even get me started on how much Twilight sucks.
The whole tragic figure protagonist/antagonist thing is played out. Which is why we have had to resort to making our fellow man into something horrifying.
I love love love John Carpenters take on Vampires in the same titled Movie....
"No... Well first of all, they're not romantic. Its not like they're a bunch of fuckin' fags hoppin' around in rented formal wear and seducing everybody in sight with cheesy Euro-trash accents, all right? Forget whatever you've seen in the movies: they don't turn into bats, crosses don't work. Garlic? You wanna try garlic? You could stand there with garlic around your neck and one of these buggers will bend you fucking over and take a walk up your strada-chocolata WHILE he's suckin' the blood outta your neck, all right? And they don't sleep in coffins lined in taffata. You wanna kill one, you drive a wooden stake right through his fuckin' heart. Sunlight turns 'em into crispy critters."

Please, I hope we can give some of the scariest creatures in the game, some of their dignity back. they played on our primitive fears, Death and Night. They are a part of our collective understanding found in one form or another in every culture going back thousands of years.
let the dialogue begin.
