WHAT THE HECK?

One of my best friends says that when he's perplexed. And I'm perplexed.

What the heck is the country's seemingly fascination with vampires? Shouldn't we have grown up by now?

I mean I've been patient. I haven't written anything about how infantile this attraction is, but c'mon. Is there no end to this lunacy?

Why not the desire for more Frankensteins? Because we grew out of it as a reading/viewing--heavy stress on viewing both the original Dracula and Frankenstein. The stories have been told. There's nothing more.

At least not to the creative writer and reader and viewer. Let's stop the madness now. If the viewership wants lust and blood, then give it to them in more creative ways than worn out vampires.

I always thought Dracula sucked anyhow.
