When I saw the photo and Nadi's face, my first thought was, she's not happy at all and you confirmed my suspicions. I wouldn't be either and my price would be high 😆 but jokes aside, I'm not into vampire and was wondering if you prefer vampire movies or books more as the experience is certainly different.
I'm ok with books or films although I feel like in the 2000's to 2020 they went too far with it just like they did with the zombie genre. I think the pinnacle of the silliness with vamps was a show called True Blood that started out ok but then they just got stupider and stupider until I actually started to resent them for making them. I really enjoyed Interview with a Vampire in both book and film form but I can't really think of any other examples where I have read and seen both.
On the flip side I find the classic Dracula book to be terribly boring but since it was such a novel idea at the time I understand why it was sound ground-breaking at the time of it's release however long ago that was.
I suppose expectations have grown over time and old movies seem boring or not up to what we would expect today. I felt the same with Hitchcock's The Birds movie, which is still famous.
