Vampire movies

Personally, I feel that the young generation and later is in general to caught up in the 'Paranormal' genre. From the Anne Rice books to the Twilight books to the House of Night, as well as the Anita Blake novels and Kim Harrison. Now, don't forget the movies like Underworld, Blade, Ultraviolet, and for some, Resident Evil. I will admit that I have read a lot of them, but I know too many kids who wish that they were a vampire, or a werewolf.

I may not be the first to say this, but if all of the paranormal things like this were real, hell yes I would offer myself up to one of the two main 'monsters'. I can tell you though, that it would not be a vampire I would want to be. Being dead, not being able to technically eat, and not being able to spend the day time with friends and family, not my cup of tea. I would rather be a wolf and furry, than have to drink blood.

The thing with it is, that I know this is not reality. My reality consists of going to work, earning money, enjoying my life, and spending time doing the things I like. Plenty of the kids I see going to school with my children, who liked most of the same things as them, take these things way to seriously. I have a friend that swears up and down that she's a vampire. While there are some people who are considered to be 'psychic' vampires, they arent at all common, and tend to keep to themselves.

All in all, yes, my kids generation and those after, take the paranormal things too seriously, and eventually they are going to have to wake up and smell the coffee, because that's not the way the real world works. Then, there will be those people who will forever live in their fantasy worlds, even after they've had kids, and grow old. So, its something that we as a people, as a world, as a culture, will have to deal with. Because it won't go away. And it won't get any better. The best we can hope for with this obsession is for it to not get worse. Of course, this is my observations, but there are far too may mystic movies about at the moment.
