Yeah, i'd like to see a bigger return to the true bloodsuckers, the half-dead
(not undead), zombie, creature-looking things that tend to just tear out your
throat, not caress you gently as they lustily drain the lifeblood. Were the
vamps in "Thirty Days of Night" of that variety?

I like your picks. I'm not into hunky vampires at all.

vamps as a misunderstood ethnic group. Good, intelligent, and atmospheric.
