I knew all the spoilers for the movie before I saw it (and the book was a total surprise to me).Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13608984274685928764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417852593384043397.post-25019889398866216752012-11-27T13:09:37.889-05:002012-11-27T13:09:37.889-05:00I read Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. It was act...I read Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. It was actually a really good book. And the movie was funny. I saw the movie I am Legend and liked it, although I know the book is different. I accidently read a spoiler filled plot synopsis of the book, so I know how it ended. I am all about re-vamping (pun intended) vampire fiction, but Twilight went to far for me. However, when I think of vampires I think of a cross between Ann Rice's stuff and Bram Stoker's stuff. Interview with a Vampire was the first vampire film I saw, and it freaked me out a bit, since I was young. I also saw Bram Stoker's Dracula film which was very disturbing. I'm sure you guys know this, but Bram Stoker modeled Dracula on Vlad the Impaler, who was a really messed up guy. So I think of him also, when I think of vampires. Also, if you want a more modern take on vampires that is better than Twilight, I would check out the BBC America show "Being Human" (the original, NOT the American version). Its a pretty good show and I think it approached the subject creatively without flying in the face of all the previous lore (cough**Twilight**cough).
