Who here actually like the Vampire shows on TV at the mo?
  Personally they're all formulaic crap in my opinion.
The only thing i've liked Vampire related was a film called 30 Days Of Night.

I read a ton in life. And I'll read books with paranormal characters in them. But in general most movies and tv shows mess up decent writing. So... I'd rather read then watch.

I remember the Anne Rice fad back in the late 90s.
The movies were crap, and the books should have ended with Queen of The damned.
Im a huge zombie movie fan, but now that they are going mainstream, I expect them to start to suck hard.
I keep my standards low.
That way im never disapointed.

Not forgetting Night of the Living Dead (original), often overlooked because of its lack of gore, but creepy nonetheless.

Worst zombie film of all time is Oasis of the Zombies. You thought normal zombies were evil? This one had Nazi zombies?

Or land of the Dead or Diary of the Dead.
The new one is comming out soon.
Romero has a book deal to do a novel called The Living Dead which is a prequel to the entire series that explains how they came about.

I normally hate remakes!
That sounds awful having babies,all they care about is eating flesh.

I dont know...........It was a precident setting scene. New born baby gets gunned down! Never seen before. (Our maybe it was stabbed?) Saw the movie and it was worth it just for that scene. Love to see that button pushed.

It was shot,, I have the movie memorized.

Actualy,, the filming of the movie changed slightly over the course of the movie to simulate the bleak nature of the situation and the adrenaline the people felt as they raced to the marina from the mall.
Very good imagery.

The movie itself made cinimatic history.

I read last night that they are going to remake Hellraiser and Clive Barker wants nothing to do with it.
Im a little up in the air about that one since the first was soooo good.
