I don't like the vampires in Twilight but the idea of a Stoker vampire is extremely cool.

I think they have totally destroyed the classical rendering of a vampire. The only similarities between Twilight and the typical Bram Stoker vamps is the fact that both drink blood. Twilight is an interesting amateur romance series, but I honestly think its hilarious that Stephanie Meyer thought the vamps should sparkle.

it ruined it... vampires used to be awesome and mysterious but now ther just not...

It made me feel like all vampires are a bunch of overemotional softies(JK!)
Twilight actually didn't change my view of vampires(Or werewolves)at all.They just gave people a different look at them.

I used to like vampires, now all anyone knows them as is glittering fairy princesses, and they are sooo not like that. I can't even find a decent book to read anymore with out it having something to do with vampires, or immortals, and beings that live forever. i'm not saying that those kinds of books aren't good, but its like ever since twilight came out, vampires have taken over everything. it sucks, it really, really sucks....and not to metion you have those little pre-teens and their obsessions...ugh...

I completely ignored Twilight. You want real modern vampires, watch True Blood on HBO.
Vampires are creatures of the night, unless they drank fairy blood, are half-breeds, or were the first.

Then again, 'Blade' shows the very first vampire (Drake) as on ugly SOB when he's not disguised...

I tried watching the first Twilight. It was bad... Very bad... I'm more fantasy type, so I think castles and blood and bats. But Twilight is basically nice vampires who *sparkle*. Twilight is more teenagers who think they'd get a date with Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson, and is an embarrassment to all fantasy lovers. So answering the question: Vampires have not changed in my mind after watching Twilight.

Twilight has not affected my view on Vampires, as she is a pony...


Oh wait, you meant the book/movie.

Nothing changed on my view of them, except now their is a new low-vampire on the totem pole of Vampiredom. I mean, the vampire from Sesame Street is more of a vampire than Twilight's vampires.

I thought that vampires disintegrated when they moved into the sun not get all sparkly?

i like lestat from anne rice's novels and bram stokers's dracula but twilight made vampires appear unintelligent and full of teenage angst

Made them seen kinda gay

For me twilight vampires are not vampires

I don't care what Twilights done, I still think Vampires are exactly like Nosferatu

unless all those new vampire stuff my view of a real vampire is still dracula. (or some vampire clan hierargie like in Vampire: The Masquerade)
