<span style="font-family: Arial;">Vampires seem to be all the rage these days. There have been many views
of what constitutes vampire lore. Authors put their own creative spin on the
legends to suit their storylines.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Now let's talk about other creative spins author use. First, there’s the biggest
vampire franchise of late created by Stephanie Meyers.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Twilight vampires: the most
famous vampire in this group is Edward, the brooding vampire in love with the
teenager Bella. With the outstanding success of the books and movies, this
franchise has been one of the biggest money making ventures for vampires, maybe
even the most successful one aimed at the young adult market. The Twilight
vampires do not burn up in the sun, but instead “sparkle.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is an entirely new “spin” on vampire
lore.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">In the 1970’s author Anne
Rice released her book, “Interview with a Vampire” featuring vampires Lestat ,
Louis and 12-year-old Claudia. The book was adapted to film in 1994. It’s their
story as told by Louis to a San Francisco reporter. The vampires in this movie
are vicious, drink human blood and cannot go out in the sun because the sun’s
rays will burn and turn them into ash.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">One of the many adaptations
of Bram Stoker’s book, “Dracula” stars Frank Langella in the 1979 film of the
same name. In this highly romanticized version, Count Dracula arrives in
England in 1913 from Transylvania aboard a ship that breaks up on the rocks
during a storm. During the wreckage of the ship, a wolf is seen jumping from
its deck and then the Count himself is found on the shore. This story follows
the more traditional legends of vampires, that is, that they can also shape
shift. Even though Count Dracula is a charismatic figure, there is no mistake
that he’s vicious and has no compunction in killing and drinking his victim’s
blood.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>But, man, oh man, is Frank
Langella one sexy vampire. It could be that it was due in large part to his
voice. I’m a sucker for a great voice. I prefer this version of vampire lore
with the shape shifting in addition to not being able to walk in the sun.</span></div>

different viewpoints on vampire legends and lore. So what’s your favorite kind
of vampire? </span></div>
