I think Bram Stoker and Count Dracula would disagree with your friends’ assessment.

Vampires should never be ‘androgynous’. And they shouldn’t ‘sparkle’ (I detest the Twilight series).

Read my post. I said “cool vampires”. Count Dracula, as found in the novel and pre-1980 movies is not really that hip.

As my brain-full-of-mush 19 yr old lib stepdaughter says, the "old" Dracula wasn't interesting because there was no explanation of his evilness. The "new" one has a perspective and a "reason". I told her I prefer the good ol' days, when monsters were monsters because.... they were monsters. Not because they were "misunderstood."

(oh, and agree totally about the overhyped, overrated Twilight. Haven't seen the movies but the books went from bad to worse).
