I don’t understand the fascination with vampires these
days. Vampires scare me. I used to love
watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the movie. I never watched the TV show. I
had no interest. I didn’t watch Buffy
the Vampire Slayer because of the vampires. I loved that she was a total valley
girl and it was funny. I thought it was
kind of scary the first few times I watched it.
I remember watching it at Atlantic Beach in North Carolina with my old
best friend Jenny. I remember we got in a big fight once when we watched it,
and Caboodles were flying, or maybe it was ice and Caboodles and doll carriages
were another time. I don’t understand
the whole Twilight phenomenon. I don’t think that guys should twinkle or sparkle
or whatever they do in that movie. For
the record, I am not a werewolf fan either if you were wondering. I don’t know what the cool thing about pale
creatures drinking blood is. I do absolutely love Count Duckula. Yes, I own the first season of Count Duckula.
How can you not love him and Nanny and Igor? It was one of the coolest shows
ever. I was so excited when I got that
on DVD. I totally was a dork when I
watched it with my friend Ben and the Thames thing came up. If you don’t know what I am talking about it,
check it out on YouTube. If you remember you will have the same reaction we
did. We both felt like we were transported to our childhoods together. It was like mind blowing.
I admittedly love the movie My Best Friend is a Vampire, but
that is also a comedy. I know there are
all kinds of movies and TV shows about vampires, not the funny nice ones but
the carnal ones that are all about the gore and I don’t know, I just couldn’t
get in to them. I didn’t really like Interview with a Vampire and you already
know how I feel about Queen of the Damned.
If you missed that post, I can’t stand it. Maybe if they had nice vampires like Count
Duckula, who was a vegetarian, I would be more apt to liking them. I think it is gross. It is scary, and not for me. One of my favorite foods is garlic, so I know
I am safe from vampires. I eat enough
that I don’t think they would even come within 100 miles of me.
I just remembered this guy from high school named Jerry. He
was a vampire. Not a real one obviously, but I remember being leery of him. He had fangs. He was in my drama class and I
heard stories of him trying to drink people’s blood, and maybe an animal or
two. He was also a grip so when I was in
choir he was always lurking in the shadows behind the scenes of the auditorium. There weren’t any creepy blood loss deaths
when I was in school, but I wasn’t going to take my chances.
Do you like vampires? What is it that you like about them?
