Ah, I so felt like posting this...

Well, we all know that the Twilight saga has brought in massive rewards, and it's like Harry Potter all over again. A huge number love it and almost as many hate it (Research indicates the top reason is fans). And quite a few series have jumped out of nowhere based on the series.

But I find the books (And movies) have all changed our opinion of one thing: Vampires. Book lovers now see the 'Cold One' as appealing and sexy, while haters... Drop dead.

I'm just curious as to how people feel about this. Do you like the fact vampires have been changed so dramatically? If so, how?

Well, they are blood thirsty. The particular pack that is focused on in Twilight simply sucks the blood of animals because of its horror at what is...normal, for their kind. Yeah they sparkle, if that's the word.

I like other vampires more, but theres nothing wrong with the Twilight vampires, (Cullens)

No, now anything vampire related shows or movies i ignore, unless it's a comedy. They ruined the whole "I'm going to suck your blood" thing.

No. If anything it's good because those movies are very boring to sit through.

Nothing has changed really, I wasn't super high on vampires to begin with and there are so many different films and books with their own view of vampires.

The books apparently aren't even that bad and you certainty wouldn't get beaten up reading it (well maybe now as the films give the books a bad reputation) and if the film director wants to portray vampires in that way, I honestly don't give a s***
