It's impossible to miss the sudden obsession with vampires. Twilight is what seemed to kick off the vampire craze but it was followed by shows like The Vampire Diaries and True Blood as well as other movies like Daybreakers. All of these have one specific thing in common: they're all gorgeous. The vampires that we see in movies that were a big hit 50 years ago are scary and out to hurt everyone but the vampires that are in Twilight and The Vampire Diaries are all gorgeous and fully capable of having a relationships with humans. Not only do vampires exist in these shows but a set of rules and guidelines have been created as well. The traditional stake through the heart and no sunlight rule seems to have stuck but now they sparkle in sun (Twilight), are hurt by silver (True Blood), and drinking their blood gives you an amazing high (True Blood). I've developed an amusing theory that vampires are real and that the government is just preparing us for their debut. I wouldn't mind if they all looked the way the actors in these shows do.
