Zombies, Vampires or Werewolves?

[syk]

I've already liked vampires as a kid. Spooky, yet pitiful creatures with special powers and the hungry predator lurking right under the surface.
The current sissification of the genre is rather sad. I actually read the first Twilight book after someone recommended it to me.  I valiantly sat through it, until the bitter end hoping to find something worth reading.
The vampires I like best are White Wolf's Tzimisce. Kinski as Nosferatu is also hard to beat.

The only cool Vampire was Blacula.

I watched Twilight recently. It was so painfully bad I really can't imagine why it has such a cult following. The fact that it has absolutely no plot notwithstanding, the vampires in it are a complete joke. "Oh, I am a superhuman with my only problem being that I look like I had bodyglitter in the direct sunlight". What a travesty. Vampires are cool because they are a tragic mix of superpowers and super-weaknesses. The "Twilight" "vampires" are just some Mary-Sue-ish childish fantasy. Gnnnngh.

Werewolves, I suppose.   I have a few Anne Rice-obsessed gay male friends who staked out vampire territory, and I never got into zombies.  I guess in cod-psychoanalytic terms, zombies are the uncanny, and werewolves are the return of the repressed?

Werewolves are the inevitable response to the post-feminist world, allowing men to recapture their rightful place in the state of nature.  And plenty of doggie-style.

Someone needs to watch Ginger Snaps.

The books, while still silly, are about a hundred times better than that travesty of a movie.

The author is a Mormon.  I refuse to believe that.

I don't think she's a very good mormon though.

Zombies are way too gross and way too scary,

Werewolves are way too hot and way too hairy,

A Vampire is cool but he's probably a fairy;

So what's a poor girl to do?

Shack up with an evil rich Jew?

Nice, but I'd change the punctuation as follows:

Zombies are way too gross and way too scary,

Werewolves are way too hot and way too hairy,

A Vampire is cool but he's probably a fairy;

So what's a poor girl to do?

Shack up with an evil rich Jew!

[Eddie Teach]

Evil rich Jew? Isn't that kind of like saying a pale, hairy Caucasian?

[Malthus]

Hey, we aren't *all* evil and rich ... 

Ahh, who am I kidding.

Vot can you do, didn't say so on the cover and it was the first I heard of it. Sometimes recommendations like that are really cool, like Let The Right One In. Great book, good film adaption, generally the same genre and at the same time on the shelves.

It says:

TWILIGHT
The ending we were all looking for

[Caliga]

 

Actually isn't it "the end we were all hoping for"? 

[Darth Wagtaros]

I've said for a long time that the only way I'd read or watch Twilight is for Blade or Buffy to show up and exterminate them.
