Which movie/book do you think accurately portrays the vampires? Or which kind of vampires did you enjoy the most? I know it's a myth, but still, come on! Vampires sparkling in sunlight?! Mine would be a close call between The Lost Boys and Near Dark, as they were the very first vampire movies I understood. Ever since then, I've always associated vampires with biker music. Besides, I like biker vampires. There's an air of badassness that revolves around it. _________________ My mission: To irritate the living hell out of you with the word A-W-E-S-O-M-E.

Rive Caedo Jedi Grand Master Joined: 02 Dec 2005 Posts: 8299 Location: Kallibann I rather enjoy Buffy the Vampire slayer's take on it. The vampire having some degree of control and a shadow of their former personality - but still being driven towards evil. Even so, they're able to adapt to the time period they're in and not driven towards creating some quasi-culture of specialness (ala Twilight, I believe). Plus they kept the standard restrictions: No direct sunlight, stakes through the heart kill. ... I can't recall if they used the garlic restriction or not. They did use the "holy objects" restriction though. _________________ May The Force Be With Us, Always

You always seem to have a picture for everything.     I always thought Blade was a bit better than Buffy, though that could be due to me only seeing half of a Buffy movie (got scared when I was a kid, played Pokemon in my room instead.) The Werewolf age is coming soon I bet. _________________ My mission: To irritate the living hell out of you with the word A-W-E-S-O-M-E.

Well there was only one Buffy movie and it was completely different from the TV series and no one particularly liked it AND it didn't make much money. I never saw it, actually. I still don't know how they managed to get it turned into a TV series after the movie failed, but I am glad they did The only episode of Buffy I can recall having a genuine scare factor is Hush because the bad guys were "11" on a creepy scale from 1 to 10 _________________ May The Force Be With Us, Always

I've had a bad habit of not watching shows unless I've been at the start, because most of the time I don't know what the frak is going on. >_> _________________ My mission: To irritate the living hell out of you with the word A-W-E-S-O-M-E.
