Bela Lugosi's Dead: Vampire History, From Scary Monster to Sexy Beast

That was a really fun read, Twilight is so bad though.

I was talking with some friends at work, and I think I can finally say I know what Twilight reminds me of: Popeye and Pretty In Pink.

Ready;

Two guys, not too attractive honestly but they have some decent qualities about them, both are in love with a completely unattractive and dull girl who does absolutely nothing. This walking stick of butter with a terrible attitude totally sluts it up and leads both guys along, while swapping back and forth between them like they don't matter, yet claiming she loves them. The guys are morons, who fight each other constantly to win the favor of this unattractive and dull girl, even though she's using them; eventually both becoming a bit violent towards her as well. Popeye is a vampire and Bluto is a werewolf. You could also argue that the entire story is simply Pretty In Pink with a horror twist. If Ducky was a lycan, he'd be the Indian kid trying to convince the small town b!tch to not run off with the rich d*ckhead... who happens to be a vampire named Ed.


I'm soooooo terrified of the American remake of Let The Right One In, which is the best Vampire film made in decades. We ruin translated current films.

I guess I like my vamps scary so I was not attracted to the idea of vamps that might be less scary.

I only saw the first movie about two months during Showtime's attempts to convince me to buy it's cable package. The film was awful, awful. But from what I've read and seen in trailers, the story is painfully dull and simple, and a rehashing of the themes I've mentioned above.

^^ I haven't seen the movies, but from what I've heard about them (sadly, I know people who are into the books/movies) it sounds like you drew a pretty accurate parallel.
