Meh. The fact that everything was in diary or letter format by definition removed the suspense. It wasn't enough for Stoker to have some letters/diary entries and then allow the reader to realize that someone must have survived to tell the tale -- he insists upon having characters write letters to other characters WHILE being attacked by vampires.

They were a tougher breed, back then.

Also, Carmilla had lesbians.

Great.  So, Anne Rice.  Thanks for nothing, Enki.

S'okay.  We stole it from the Eskimos, anyway.

A friend of mine complained that vampires are no longer badass due to Stephanie Meyer's books.
I disagree.
I think it depends on those who talk about them. If we want vampires to stay badass, we just need to stop calling these newer pitiful bloodsucking things "vampires."

As for what to call them? I suggest "hematophags."

Nosferatu and Salem's Lot.  Why?  Because they stripped the vampire down to it's essence:  A parasite.  Much like a tick or a leech.

For what it's worth, the twilight vampires are by far not the lamest.

I am not "full of hate" as if I were some passive container. I am a generator of hate, and my rage is a renewable resource, like sunshine.

They're not as lame as sparkly vampires.
