What is this fascination that the film industry has with vampires?

They are never off the telly. Now they are on the front page of my computer. $:-\$

I was terified after seeing my first Dracula at sixteen and every time I see an ad for them, I get flashbacks to lying in bed too frightened to put the lights out.

Heather - not my thing, but my daughter (and the vast majority of her teenage friends) have read the Twilight series of books and have been enchanted by the story. I haven't read them myself, but everyone I speak to that has read them really enjoyed them - saying they were beautifully written and totally fascinating. The second film in the series, 'New Moon' was released yesterday, to great acclaim. Of course, it could have something to do with the stunning male lead......!

Bram Stoker who wrote Dracula stayed in Cruden Bay at the Kilmarnock Arms, they have the guest book with his comments. He loved the area so much he rented a cottage at Whinnyfold and then he was a guest at Slains Castle which is on the cliffs overlooking the sea, they say that the night he was there was a stormy one and he got his inspiration to write Dracula during this stay. We look out across the countryside to Slains Castle and the sea. We get lots of tourists in the area because of the Dracula connection so it can only be good for Aberdeenshire.
Unfortunately, it's a ruin now, and it's going to be turned into flats. Here is the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Slains_Castle

Maybe it is time for some aversion therapy:

Didn't know that Jacqui, As you say it is good for tourist trade.

I has a facination with vampires when I was a teenager. I also loved the rock bands Alice Cooper and black sabbath. In my daughters teen years it was Nirvana with Kurt Kubain. All things dark and gothic for your average teen. [xx(]:

[xx(] It does pass.

Don't mind the rock bands I liked both of them.

Vampires I passed on pretty quickly
