I don't really agree, btw, that interest in vampires goes in cycles. It's just that some vampire themed projects get more play than do others. To think about the past three decades, in the Eighties we had The Hunger, Near Dark, Fright Night and The Lost Boys; in the 1990s we had Interview with a Vampire, Bram Stoker's Dracula, the cult series Forever Knight (my personal fave of all of them) and the start of the BTVS craze; in the 2000s there were the projects already referenced plus any number of others.
Margo Adler, NPR reporter and author of the landmark history of US Paganism, Drawing Down the Moon, has a new book out already or imminently on the fascination with vampires. I heard quite a bit of buzz when I was out at the Pagan conference in San Jose last Feb., the Pantheacon. Interesting stuff.
I don't think there is any danger that people will fail to go see DS because they're done with vampires. There is a danger that the movie will stink and word of mouth will keep people away in droves. A friend told me that Alice raked in big bucks because it was rated G. I do not see how DS could possibly be rated G.
G!
