I reconmend the Wordworth compilation children of the night. It's a good cheap collection of early vampire literature. It has on a number of the significant stories in the development of the monster John Polidori's "the vampyre" and Sheridan Le Fanu "Carmilla". It shows the monster in a variety of forms. A cheap read if nothing else.

This months Esquire has a funny ten step solution to dealing with your girlfriends Robert Pattinson crush. Screw it, I'll type it out!

1. Give her DVDs of any of his non-Twilight films. (How To Be is particularly ardour-cooling.)

2. Mention how old he was when she lost her virginity.

3. Talk about how much you fancy girls of his age - the Olsen twins, say.

4. Muse aloud on the return of "the Hugh Grant look".

5. Tell her he reminds you of her nephew.

6. Agree to go to Twilight: Eclipse with her a moan softly every time Kristen Stewart appears.

7. Style your hair into a foppish wide parting as a "tribute".

8. Ensure she never misses any of his TV interviews and trust she'll notice how often he says "like" and that he pronounces "that" as "vat".

9. Distract her by giving her a baby of her own.

10. Become a bigger fan than her.

Obviously a lot of them will only work for older members of this site but some of them will still work for everyone!

Agree to go but take a large bag of crisps/potato chips and some celery - then, as soon as the film starts, eat it noisily......

Twilight is really just the end result of 30 years of turning vampires from despicable blood suckers to anti-heroes to sympathetic characters.

It all began with Anne Rice's books where evil incarnate became an anti-hero whose actions you could understand if not condone, through to Lost Boys where the vampires were the cool gang you wished you could hang out with (and the film also featured a fledgling Twilight-esque love affair between human and vamp), through to Buffy where the good looking vampires had souls and saved the world. Twilight is simply the natural progression of where the vampire has been heading since the early 80's.

Speaking as a massive Buffy fan, we do have to admit that Twilight would never have happened were it not for Angel.

Still, Angel could kick the snot out of every vampire in twighlight put together.

And David Boreanez could act, unlike the Twighlight. I see what you are saying though, and it makes me a little sad that something so good contributed so much to something so truly bad

Oh god, release day is coming soon. Seriously, nobody is going to help me fake my death then? I'm going to have to go aren't I?

I dont see how anyone can be forced to see a film they dont want to. My missis is absolutely obsessed with Sex and The City but would never dream of asking me to go along as she would regret the long swear-filled rant of why I would not go.

Stand up, grow a backbone and tell her to go with her friends.

I fear for my gender sometimes

Aye! Aye!

If she really loves you then she'll **** off and see it by herself!

I'll just wait for the DVD.... then torrent it

The hassle of outright refusal far outweighs the benefit of not seeing the film.

In other words I'll be sleeping alone for a while if I don't take her, you catch my drift?

Haha, some might say, if I really loved her I'd go and see it anyway?

I think piracy laws are different for twighlight, its completely legal to torrent it because, hey, who would pay for that c*** (not the best)?

You've only been together a few months, yeah?

Because my in-laws know I'm into horror and sci-fi and weird stuff, they bought me Twilight on DVD for Christmas. Sigh...

Christopher Lee rules OK?
