Ok, question here: What's with the vampires lately?!? The HBO True Blood Series, the Stephenie Meyer book series (which is apparently the new Harry Potter with the youngins), some upcoming movies, etc.
I know I'm not the first to make this observation or ask the simple question: why? Vampires aren't a new concept at all...why are they suddenly appealing/sexy/interesting/popular/whatever the heck they are?
Does anyone else remember when pirates were a big deal like 4-5 years ago? People were all excited about 'talk like a pirate day'? Tons of people were pirates for Halloween (hmm...). I guess vampires are the new pirates.
Although one would might suggest that one work showcased a vampire and the idea caught on - what about all the ideas that don't catch on? Hmm. Anyone out there interested in/excited about vampires? Praytell...why???

vampires are sexy! haha...I like reading about them though. And I like the show Tru Blood. I am tired of Stephenie Meyers because I hate how she ended the series, but it truly is the next Harry Potter.
I think vampires are just another fad that comes back. remember like 15 years ago it was all about Interview with the Vampire? just going through the cycles I guess. And the pirate thing was started by the movies. and now those movies are over...I think.
