Vampires: Why The Obsession?

I Like It I Don't Like It
All around us are stories of the paranormal and fairytale worlds. Recent big-screen films have focused on hidden doorways to far off places (Chronicles of Narnia), talented wizards (Harry Potter) and even a crafty kid with an animal spirit sidekick (The Golden Compass). We've been inundated with ghosts, goblins and, yes, vampires.

The recent cancellation of "Moonlight" caused outrage in fanboys and fangirls everywhere. Thousands of viewers signed petitions urging CBS to change its mind. Rumors circulated that another network may pick up the show for a second season, but that didn't happen. "Moonlight" bit the dust for good.

But as one series ends, another rises in its place. Alan Ball's upcoming series "True Blood" will air next season on HBO. Based on Charlaine Harris' "Southern Vampire" novels, "True Blood" is set in a small town in Louisiana. It's a humorous and horrific look at vampires and humans who are somehow able to coexist. The protagonist is a human named Sookie Stackhouse (played by Anna Paquin) who winds up falling for a vampire named Bill (Stephen Moyer).

So what's the cause of our vampire obsession? Take a bite out of this!

  • Please bring back Moonlight. It is such a great show. The Mick St. John actor is awesome and so is the girl he is in love with and all the other actors on the show.
    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BRING THE SHOW BACK.

  • I loved MOONLIGHT it was a bit different and fun. With the cancellation of MOONLIGHT I have reached the point of no longer investing my viewing in Network TV. I will doing forward watch Cable (where programs are supported and given time to grow). Guess what...with TV on DVD the largest growing revenue stream, if something IS GOOD I can pickup the DVD, watch at my leisure and never deal with network commercials again !
