Vampire Mania

Kiri Blakeley from www.forbes.com brings us a point of view of all the vampire madness going around these days.

The latest vampire movie, Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant, opens Friday. This caps a rather otherworldly streak of vampire-related entertainment, including Twilight, HBO’s True Blood and the CW’s Vampire Diaries.

But that’s not all, folks! The Twilight sequel, New Moon, is being hyped ad nauseam for a Nov. 20 release date. Lionsgate’s Daybreakers, about a plague that turns everyone into vampires, will hit theaters in January 2010.

What in the name of Bram Stoker is going on here?

“There’s not necessarily anything happening within the culture,” says Ashley dos Santos, an entertainment and social media marketer. “It’s just their time again.”

Maybe it is their time back again, but other supernatural creators are out there too. We’ve had werewolf movies this year, fairies are coming and zombies were big too. what do you think of all of these? Will the vampire reing end anytime soon?
