Yes. Yes, I did. And, while I can see the appeal to 12-year-old girls, the appeal to the adult audience still somewhat eludes me. Vampires have always had a sexually seductive allure about them. That’s how they lure their victims. I’m 47. To me, vampires have slicked back hair, wear tuxedos and capes, speak in eastern European accents and choose their victims based upon the amount of cleavage that shows through their silky nightgowns. I can, however, make the jump to vampires wearing trench coats, having spiky hair and munching on anything that has sweet warm human blood pulsing through it’s veins. But this? No, I cannot wrap my mind around it. But, then again, I was never a 12-year-old girl. What do I know? I know that, to your average male, this is like chugging down an entire gallon of pure maple syrup. Stomach pains from a sickeningly sweet goo with no substance whatsoever.
I blame this partly on Buffy. I mean, that show had a vampire with a soul, all touchy feely and tormented. And, truth be told, a bit of a stalker. But, at least they explained his character in a somewhat semi-believable storyline. And, that show at least had Alyson Hannigan.
