Why people blame Twilight for ruining vampires when it's in fact Dracula's fault? Before Briam Stoker wrote the novel vampires were disgusting, zombie like creatures not handsome aristocrats.

I must disagree with you anon, Dracula is an enjoyable novel and helped spawn the idea of vampires being able to infiltrate and act as a parasite upon society. Which works quite nicely from a horror perspective.
Twilight was poorly written and made them sparkle.

I blame Twilight for making young adult novels popular.
Twilight is like a Japanese LN, but Western.
Literally cancer.
It spawned a bunch of shitty uninspired franchises like 50 Shades of Gray that enjoyed a wild success among people too illiterate to enjoy proper literature. And, no, I'm not talking about B-tier paperback fantasy/sci-fi/whatever novels when I'm talking about "proper literature".
If anything Anne Rice ruined them first, and harder. A lot of what she did to them stuck meanwhile nobody really thinks of Twilight vampires as real vampires.

Dracula's a terrible novel, but it did inspire Nosferatu. Ruthven and Carmilla predated Dracula as sexy undead, they ultimately deserve your blame.

You sound like a faggot fedora to be honest. You should propably kill yourself.

My problem with Twilight isn't that they 'ruined' vampires, it's that they were being called vampires when they clearly weren't. Seriously, I'd have given less of a damn if they had just called them Fae.

for me it was an excellent thriller until he introduced lucy, who is just a lustful whore who derails a tense novel.

>its an old classic! its enjoyable!
let me guess, you also think HP Lovecraft was a literary genius, AND you think if it wasnt for Starship Troopers that no one would have power armor today.

You sound more retarded with every post.

Just saying there was sexy vamps before Dracula. Also, Varney predates him, and going on synopsis that novel is your basic CWoD game.

Epistolary structure ruins it. William Gibson wrote the basic plot and theme better in the Sprawl trilogy.

But they weren't. Several examples of aristocratic vampires predate Dracula, such as Carmilla.

Nigga, John William Polidori wrote "The Vampyre" 80 years before Bram Stoker wrote "Dracula".

Didn't he get completely decapitated in one slash by one guy with a kukri?
I seem to recall that.

Stoker deacribes Dracula as an ugly deranged fuck with scars and a massive mustache. He was a rapist with degenerate slaves.
