On the topic of vampires...Fright Night remake.

If you are as old as I am, or older, you probably remember a movie called Fright Night (1985).

[image error] When I was a kid, this movie terrified me. These are the vampires that I grew up with. Unrelenting, uncaring, unstoppable monsters. As I was browsing for information about Underworld 4(Yes there will be another), I found that there is a remake of this movie coming out this year.

I do not re watch the films that scared me as a kid. I find that as a adult, the movies that terrified me then, are really lame now. I will not re watch Fright Night (1985), because I want to keep that old feeling of - This movie was scary as hell.

Remakes. Nothing is as good as the original. That is just my opinion. Once I say that, everyone usually start spouting out remakes. Don't get me wrong, they usual are good, having new technology for special effects, but I like to think about what they had to work with back then. Now compare what they did then with so very little. They kicked some ass back then. Today they would upload it all in a computer and someone would pound away at some keys and ta-da, it would be done. Back then, someone had to sit in a chair and have pounds of make up applied to their face, then act out a scene over and over till they got it right. I prefer for less is better.

The vampires of Fright Night were like the title stated. They were freaking frightening. Scary monsters that cared for no one but themselves. My kind of vampires. I have been reading 13 bullets by David Wellington, it is the first book of a vampire series. I was only into the first few chapters when I stopped, looked at my husband and said, "You would love these vampires. They are heartless, cold, ripping people up, unstoppable monsters." He asked. "Like 30 Days of Night?" I replied. "Exactly."

These are the vampires that I love. Unstoppable monsters that are made from pure evil. When I tell people that, they ask why I didn't write my novel with vampires like that? Think about it for a second. Whenever there are these unholy monsters, who's side is the story on. Yeah, the guy who is trying to stop them. That's not the side I want to be on. They say, then you could have made Verloren like this, and wrote a different type of story. The problem of writing a story from pure evils point of view, is that pure evil only thinks of one thing...pure evil. It would be a pointless storyline of slashing and dashing. Sure we could have them running from pursuers, but eventually one of them will have to die. You know I can't allow my monsters to die. So then what happens, the world is over run with vampires, Daybreakers. What happens to the storyline there? Still trying to get rid of the evil, and they will have to succeed to make it a story, and....I can't allow my monsters to die.

In the end, to make a vampire the unstoppable force of nature that he is suppose to be, the story has to have resolution. Hmmm...it could be a one time deal though. One story with no resolution. The world over run with evil. How would that play out?

Have pleasant vampire, werewolf, and zombie dreams. www.authorcvhunt.comwww.authorcvhunt.com
