Phew, I made it! Just got back from Greg Mortenson and all (AHEM.) Well, anyways... I think it's pretty cool that we've been talking about vampires! It's interesting learning about the origins of Dracula and the current portrayals of vampires in the media! As we have learned, vampires seem to lure audiences in.
BUT WHY?!
I myself enjoy vampire-related anything, but I'm not entirely sure why. So... I looked into it. Here's something I found really interesting:
"The craze, which is undoubtedly teen-girl-driven this time around, could also be a backlash against the crude and overtly sexual themes of other teen-targeted content like Gossip Girl and Beverly Hills 90210 or the noncommittal boyfriends of The Hills and The City." ("Vampire Mania" by Kiri Blakeley, http://www.forbes.com/2009/10/23/vampire-mania-twilight-forbes-woman-time-bad-boy.html)
Do you agree? Disagree? Neither? BOTH?!
