Vampires/week 3

In today's culture when we think of vampires our first thoughts are the Twilight series, True Blood, and The Vampire Dairies. We have made vampires become these objects of desire and our lustful side. Now Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't vampires suppose to be these bloodsucking humanoids that stalk in the shadows and would do anything to get their prey. One example is Nosferatu, it's the original vampire it does not fall in love with any girl or sparkles in the sunlight, no he's a stalker of the night drinks the blood of his victims without hesitation. We also discussed the gleam of vampires with The Lost Boys In how the way vampires were the motorcycle gang and wear black leather; also consider the total badasses of school. Ann Rice decided to take the mythology of the vampire, but to look into the point of view of this monster in Interview with a Vampire. In the novel we get to see on why the vampire hunts and the pain and suffering with immortality. I think it is interesting how we see these emotions and ideas that a vampire would go through.
