I can't walk ten blocks in the city anymore without seeing a vampire.

They're everywhere. They're staring at you from book covers, movie posters, T-shirts. When I ride the subway, any crowded car is gonna have at least one young woman reading a vampire novel. They're ubiquitous, classy, and modern. They are the default and the ideal. They are, in

I'm already coming up with some campy ideas. :D

I loved Bela Lugosi in the classic Dracula films, because - as Martin Landeau (probably spelling that wrong) said in Ed Wood - he had so much presence. "It's all in the eyes, and the voice, and the hand;" he was a subtle, but really fucking scary character.

Nowadays, though, any vampire-related story makes me leery, which is a shame. Vampires are better off being scary - and I don't mean like "OMGSHIT!!!" scary that contemporary horror film directors are so fond of.

I'll take this time to mention how much I dislike Dracula in Van Helsing, though. Fucking God-moder. "Oh, I'm immune to everything, you know, except werewolves. Crosses? Peh. Holy water? Stings, but no big thing. Stakes, even ones made of pure silver? Hah, don't make me laugh!" (On the other hand, Werewolf proved that, while the traditional methods are effective, there are other ways to kill mythical horror creatures. One werewolf in the movie got set on fire and decapitated, no silver bullets required. >_> Not saying that

Getting set on fire and decapitated should be a good bet on any supernatural; rare is the thing immune to both of those. So, you should decapitate and burn any stray bodies you find. It's the only way to be … OH WAIT. There's another way to be sure. Nuke the site from orbit.

Yeah, I don't know what got into me with the above paragraph.

Glassing a bit of the planet is a pretty extreme measure. A favourite of mine is to simply launch them into the deep recesses of space for some other unlucky civilisation to find. :D

Or a star, or a black hole, or …

Man vampires nauseate the hell out of me. The thought of blood sucking turns my stomach, and as a result i cannot deal with ANYTHING relating to vampires.

Twilight just makes me nauseous on an entirely different level.

I am behind this so much you have no idea. Alas, all I would be doing is taking cheap shots at Twilight and nothing else.
