I assure you that would not be the case when you see the fucking vampires sparkle under the sunlight. That’s the stuff that compels normal men to riot in the streets and set fire to police vehicles.[/quote]
y’see, now I don’t mind if people fuck with horror movie rules a little. Take werewolves for example: you can have american werewolf in london rules where you only change on the full moon and can’t control it, or you can have the howling rules where you can change anytime you like, but you HAVE to change at the full moon. That’s fine. I can handle that sort of variation.
But vampires HAVE to be killed by sunlight. I don’t mind about crosses or garlic or whatever, but the sunlight thing is an absolutely fundamental aspect of vampirism.
It’d be like having a 6’ 6" gnome. Just doesn’t work.[/quote]
Agreed. IMO, the rules for modern horror movie vampires were fucking set in stone in Fright Night and The Lost Boys.
Even LET ME IN didn’t have the audacity to fuck with them. In fact, they actually showed what would happen if a vampire entered your house uninvited.

cryyyyyy little sister!
Lost boys is a homoerotic masterpiece.
I didn’t particularly like Let Me In. I read the book first, and it annoyed me the way they didn’t focus on the interpersonal relationships between the main characters in the film the way the book did. The film was just a fairly derivative, run of the mill horror, whereas the book’s quite a touching story about friendship.
