It made me think vampires really look weak then I took a look at this.

Which looks more like vampire?

well vampires didn't used to be girly, then twilight came out

To me... it made them turn from cool... to plain out gay. Excuse my language... but twilight made vampire lovers... (NOT ME) hate em.. im teh only dude in tha house... and be4 twilight i had to deal wif Justin bieber.. which my sis is obsessed over and now twilight... WHATS NEXT?!!?!?!?

In short... it didn't affect me at all... my views on vampires in general has never changed from the 'cool creatures of the night' they are! If you're talking about the fact that they can be daywalkers now (Twilight), I have to say it's not a development I like and see fitting for the whole vampire story... they are creatures of the night and this is best descibed in the 'Blade' and 'Underworld' series of movies for me! Twilight is ok with the first movie, but to-cry-over with the other episodes... meh... =/

To elaborate a little... simply take a look at this vampire here...



...and then take a look at this vampire here...



...and then tell me which one fits the ancient tale of the creatures of the night best?

You can't imagine that boy Edward having a dark side, can you now?
He just doesn't fit the profile... at all!! =)

Twilight has completely ruined my view of vampires and werewolves too. Now I don't have a favorite fantasy character anymore.

Twilight did not affect me in any way. It's just their version of vampires and werewolves. Besides, theirs are completely ridiculous when compared to other vampires/werewolves from other series.

If you want a good book about vampires then read the thirst series by Christopher pike thats a real vampire!

I have a very low opinion and negative view of Vampires.
Twilight has only made that low opinion lower and that
negative view even more negative. Yeah.

ehhhh.killersup somehow watched the first 3 movies and the vampire thing was kinda...........ehhhhh.didn't really effect killersup view on them however.killersup's view-see one.then grab a gun and shot.see told ya.no different

I hate twilight so much, though it didnt make me see a different style of vampires, I dont really like it any more. The old days of vampires were better. Much Better.

Twilight has warped my view of vampires a lot. I used to be obsessed with vampires and werewolves when I was younger, but now I'm pretty disappointed in what the modern media has done to "vampires". The only show/book that is somewhat good, when it comes to vampires, is True Blood.

Eh, not changed my views at all. I hate the movies and the books so I ignore anything about them so they have not really changed my opinion.

Twilight (Although I didn't see it, but had an idea of it) didn't affect how I see vampires. Edward's a glowing fairy, not a vampire.



Like Evilfishy11, I liked vampires the way they were the last time. Now, the one who made Twilight seriously shouldn't even produced it.

I honestly think people hate Twilight because it's trendy.

And since i'm a HUGE fan of the Angel series, nothing could change my views on vamps.
