Interesting article Midnite - thanks for posting the link. I find that whole vampire personality development thing kind of fascinating and was actually trying to write something about it not too long ago. I do believe Barnabas was one of, if not the most influential romantic vamps of the 20th century. But I also agree with the person (silviamg) who posted, “You’ve always had the parallel development of sexy and unsexy vampires.” Parallel…hmmmm, almost seems like another DS reference to me.
And speaking of “Twilight” and the continuing/growing romantic vampire craze of recent times, I happened to stumble on this “cross-reference” the other day and couldn’t help but chuckle…

They also have a Team Quentin (naturally) and Team Angelique. I couldn’t help wondering if one of the posters on this board had something to do with this.
