I'm not in the movie business anymore, and hardly any 70 year olds are. I always ask the producers: 'Are there no 70-year old vampires?' Apparently there are not - or even zombies for that matter. I guess they all get eaten.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I happen to like vampires more than zombies.
I'm 48, and I have been in love with vampires since I was six. I was born in 1962, so I've been through three or four waves of vampires. When I was growing up, we had vampire shows and movies. We were still dealing with Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff and the old Christopher Lee vampires.
People called '28 Days' and '28 Weeks' zombie movies, and they're not! It's some sort of virus; they're not dead.
Vampires are a genre now.
Vampires used to be like Dracula, and now they're young teenage kids, so yeah, I like that.
I don't like vampires personally. I don't know any.
If you look at all the vampires in the past, they were sort of decrepit old men. Stephanie Meyers just made it for a new audience. All the vampires are now young men and she describes them as not being ugly.
I'm not a vampire movie fan, per se. That's not to say that I haven't enjoyed movies with vampires in them.
There are many vampires in the world today... you only have to think of the film business.
Over the years all these vampire movies have come out and nobody looks like a vampire anymore.
