Vampires and Werewolves Oh My.

It’s the 20th century and most of the movies and shows out there are about vampires and werewolves. They all have the same concepts. There is either a new vampire or werewolf that is trying to get use to their new life. They learn how to be what it is they are, or a vampire going on a killing spree, sometimes there is even a vampire falling in love with a human. I believe that this vampire crave all began when Twilight came out. The movie producers saw that it was a big hit. Twilight has made $367,160,734. If you have never seen the movie Twilight it is about how a vampire family has moved into town. They are all extremely beautiful. There is a human girl that falls in love with one of the vampires. It is like a forbidden love. Over time he can’t help but be with her. There is a werewolf that is also in love with the same girl. They always fight for her love. This movie attracted millions of viewers. I believe it is because they made this movie based on the book . I read the books and they were great so much better than the movies. Also many of the viewers were attracted to the actors that were in the movie itself. They even formed teams, the werewolf team Jacob and the vampire team Edward. There were shirts made from this as well, the teams and the movie in general.


After Twilight various new vampire and werewolf movies and shows came out. Some examples of these are, True Blood, Vampire Dairies, Fright Night, Teen Wolf, Blood Ties, Moonlight, 30 Days of Night, The Wolf Man and various other ones. These are shows about vampires and werewolves. They revolve around the same topics. They just have different actors that play the part.



These creatures have something that is appealing about them, it lours you in. It seems as if they are so much better than actual humans, appearance wise. Their features are emphasized. They can do what ever they please. I mean who doesn't want to do something and get away with it? I think we all do. Its as if these creatures are living the life. They have their whole life time to do anything it is they want. For example, in Vampire Dairies  the vampires are extremely good looking they do this to get people to watch it. They have interesting story lines to get people to come back to watch the next episode. 

Whenever writers or directors see that one movie topic is selling well they all want to do it. So they can make money. Soon the topic gets played out. Yet still these are the shows and the movies that still get the most ratings from the people. I love Vampire Dairies, Twilight and Teen Wolf! Those are my favorite shows/ movie. But I see so many similarities between them. If you compare these shows I am sure you will see what I am talking about. Through our lifetimes so many things have been repeated, music, shows, movies, fashion and so much more. So how much of our lives is really new? Other then technology everything else is brought back from the past. Makes you think doesn’t it?

  1. I also love Twilight and the sagas. I read all the books. Twice. I really enjoyed the story and how the author told it. The one thing I really dislike is how over used this type of show or movie is being shown. In my opinion it just makes it boring because you've either just seen it in the show or movie you saw or will end up seeing it. I understand that that type of genre makes a lot of money but I feel like it will start decreasing because of how over used its becoming. (:
