Go back a decade or so and vampires in the media are evil killing machines, munching on humans and occasionally fighting a vampire hunter or two. Fast forward to now, and they seem to be little more than "girl porn".
Even with the growing media obsession with vampires at the moment, I get the feeling that the days of the *proper* vampire movie's are coming to an end. Sure there are still a few movies on the horizon where the vampires retain a little dignity, still eating people, being generally evil and not sparkling when they go outside. But with the success of things like the new twilight movies (maybe the books to, but i can avoid them more easily), how long is the age of the scary vampire going to last?
Some may point to true blood and in comparison to the twilight films, these vampires still have fangs (and avoided the abstinence only education the twilight vamps seem to have had), they still play the role of "sexy" vampire over the role of scary ones.
As i've said above, i do feel the good ol evil vamp movie is under threat? anyone agree? or worse still, think they girl-porn/sexy style vampire is better?

What about Buffy the Vampire Slayer they were quite evil?
I’ll be a story in your head, but that’s okay, because we’re all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh? Because it was, you know. It was the best. A daft old man who stole a magic box and ran away. Did I ever tell you that I stole it? Well, I borrowed it. I always meant to take it back. Oh, that box, Amy, you’ll dream about that box. It’ll never leave you. Big and little at the same time. Brand-new and ancient and the bluest blue ever. And the times we had, eh? Would had…Never had. In your dreams, they’ll still be there. The Doctor and Amy Pond and the days that never came.

Nosferatu was made in 1922, so you should probs give it some credit Originally Posted by Graham,

kk.: excuses, excuses - also goes a way to prove the twilight vampires have no fangs so to speak, scared of people and in hiding ... so much for ultimate predator o.0

LOL! That picture actually made me lol.
You raise good points though, I've never watched anything Twilight related, and I won't be any time soon either. Looking at that picture you can really see how vampires have come along way from what they used to be. In my mind, THIS will always be a vampire:
Sorry, you'll have to exscuse the fact that the face is Austin Powers, I couldn't think of anyone to put in there.
