MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE
memnoch was really REALLY good. kinda gave a different perspective on god and the devil
I read Interview With the Vampire sometime around 1982. What a great book.
Near Dark absolutely rocked the genre around '85 or '86. "I hate it when they ain't been shaved."
Vampires make for interesting characters, nothing wrong with that.
interview was the only one you read? you should read the others they all kinda intertwine.

Vampire Diaries
That was the only Anne Rice book I read sometime around 1982.
Lestat and the Queen were good too, but I tried to read Feast of All Saints and couldn't stand it. Don't think I've picked up a book by her since...
I wish I still had that old Interview book, IIRC it was a solid white paperback with an AMAZING cover picture that had a seated vampire, with the young girl vampire on the side, and a standing vampire behind the seat. One of the vampires was turning his head to the side, the photo just *leaped* out and grabbed you. In that case, you can indeed judge a book by its cover.
I did a google search but couldn't find that cover photo from my old book, dangit. The later versions just had a bland cover with words, no photo.

Not many people were into vampires until that idiotic film Twilight came out, then all of a sudden it became like another trend or some bs, I hate when those way too preppy, wannabe gangsters, go for a freaking trend, especially one I like, they always kill it, murdering assholes 
thanks to the new twilight movie, werewolves will be targeted next

I saw a preview for a pretty cool lookin werewolf movie coming out later this year that stars Anthony Hopkins and other people whose names are escaping me, but its set in the 1800's and the cinematography looks awesome. Hopefully with it not beeing directed at tweens it wont ruin em.
Zombies unfortunately I believe to become the next victim of fad movies and shows.

Vampire entertainment ended for me with Forever Knight. Vampire cop. How can you ever beat that?
I find it puzzling to think of vampires as a recent entertainment trend. Dang I was watching Dracula black-and-white movies when I was a tiny tyke, and they scared/thrilled me like crazy. Those Bela Lugosi movies were old as the hills too, WWII era. The first version of Salem's Lot (which I saw when it debuted on TV and just about cried from fear) was so scary they edited it for future showings.
The Hammer films with Christopher Lee were absolutely terrifying for a wee lad. I can still vividly recalll being frightened out of my wits by those Hammer flicks, back in the day when we only had 3 channels and The Late Movie was a pretty big deal.
I can even remember Love at First Bite in the '70s (creatures of the night...shut up), Near Dark in the '80s, Interview and Gary Oldman in the '90s, all pretty popular.
There was a wicked gangster-type movie where a female vampire was kicking ass on gangsters but I forget the name. Plus a weird TV series called Cliffhanger that was like 4 shows in one, and one of the shows was a Dracula adaptation. And of course....Buffy the Vampire Slayer which led to Angel, which was all the rage among the high-schoolers at that time sorta like Twilight is now. (when I was in high school it was Vamp and Fright Night).
Now Twilight is the latest torch carrier. Vampires suck, but people like them.

It's not like the idea hasn't been around forever, I just can't figure out why every writer hack in hollywood copies everyone else. It just strikes me that one person was sitting around saying "Hmm...we need an elixir to combine sex and violence. I've got it vampires!" Then everyone else jumped on the bandwagon.
