Ok, they have been making vampire movies forever. From Boris Karloff to Leslie Neilson to that Buffy chick and werewolves from Eddie Munster to Jack Nicholson these movies have been around and done in various ways. They have but only occasionally they have. Now though, it seems like everywhere you look they are on tv shows, movies and even friggin Burger King is marketing with them. When did vampires and werewolves become so popular?
What’s the appeal here? I mean granted, as a guy there is a 3% chance I have fantasized about a Goth looking chick once or twice in my life but that’s just because there are few variations most guy haven’t had at least a 3% chance of fantasizing about. No fantasies about werewolves though. Besides most of these things are being promoted by girls anyways so the characters are mainly guys. So what is the fascination?
It’s obviously nothing mystical. I mean if it were unicorns I could understand it. Who doesn’t obsess just a little about the strange and mystical majestic nature of unicorns, but vampires and werewolves? If it were fairies’ I wouldn’t be overly into it but I could still understand the appeal and given that Tinker Belle was one sexy lil fairy there is a greater than 3% chance myself and others have fantasized about her. I still can’t get behind or grasp vampires and werewolves.
There are bigger waste of television and big screen time than all things vampires and werewolves, like American Idol for starters but at least there you have that really nasty British guy that makes contestants cry.
Is it perhaps, drug related? I could understand it if that were the case. It would explain why I don’t understand it as well. I mean we generally associate drug usage with the male population but as we all know the females are doing their fair share of drugs as well. Maybe in these altered states of consciousness girls see something that the rest of us don’t. Maybe the raw brutality of morphing from a human into a beast represents something good?
I just don’t get it and probably never will. If you’re gonna force me to be inundated with vampires and werewolves on my BK Broiler box and cup at least make it Lilly and Grandpa Munster.
