Nightmares has announced next year's theme and I gotta say it's right up my alley: vampires!:
Next year Nightmare is doing something a little different - an entire house dedicated to vampires. But this ain’t all about Dracula or Count Chocula. We want you to tell us your 5 favorite vampires of all time. You can apply it to even the loosest definition of the word. If enough people write it in, or we find it clever enough, you can be sure there will be a room about it in next year’s haunted house!
I wonder if the vampire theme has anything at all to do with what can only be described as the best guilty pleasure to come along on cable tv in a while (thank you yet again Alan Ball) True Blood? Which sadly ends this week, (and uh-oh Sookie has un-invited Bill!) I have no idea what to do with my Sunday nights now. Or could it possibly be due to the Twilight craze that's swept the nation. Yea, I'm going to see it Friday. Y'know I never understood any of my friend's obession with Harry Potter, and yet now I feel a special kinship to them, for I to have been sucked into a series of juvie lit books that are my literary crack. I was seriously jonzing after I read the last book...sighs...But I digress...Hmmm nightmares has got me thinkin' who are my top vamps of all time?
Barnabas Collins(Dark Shadows, duh)
Lestat
Spike and Dru- they just go together
Kurt Barlow (Salem's Lot)
Dracula (I mean c'mon how do you not include the original prince of darkness)
Nosferatu (even more of a no brainer)
Edward Cullen (I know I know I'm such a tween at heart,)
Jean -Claude (from the Laurell K Hamilton series)
Blade
The Lost Boys gang
Selene (from underworld)
Eric and Bill (and that bald vamp w/the tats!) from True Blood
Hmmmm....I think this list feels incomplete, yet I can't think of anyone I'm forgetting. I'll be interested to see what responses other people come up with at the hauntedNYC site, but more interested to see how the vamp house turns out next year.
