TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

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 heard. :(  Saw him in Chicago onstage in downtown SD.  He was pretty kickass.
