I found this image and it tickled me smile http://www.i-am-bored.com/bored_link.cfm?link_id=43665It's an ingenious advertisement, ni? Pity the 'true blood' series looked so crappy. the vampire's TEETH fer god's sake. ugh. anyways, what's your favourite vampire franchise and why?  I've got to say i adore buffy the vampire slayer, but for visual punch the Blade 'reaper' vampires are my favourites.  *hee*

I am also a Buffy fan as well as a fan of vampires from the books of Anne Rice or Sherrilyn Kenyon.

I've never heard of Sherrilyn Kenyon - what's her stories like?
I enjoyed anne rice and the interview with the vampire flm (tom cruise as lestat was sexy eek heart ), but i found the vamps to be very whiney, which grew a little tiresome.
while i enjoyed twilight and it had some interesting new angels on vampires (eg how they don't move/shift their weight when standing because they don't need to anymore), the cons outweighed the pros on the vampires. I preferred the new look at the 'werewolves' in twilight 3nodding

Don't worry-I think I drooled more over their clothes in Interview with a Vampire than the vampires themselves half the time.
As for Sherrilyn Kenyon....it's the Darker Hunter series that I love.
*tries to think on how to explain*
The Greek goddess Artemis created a group of immortal warriors called the Dark-Hunters. They dedicate themselves to defending mankind from the Daimons (vampires), a group of people who were cursed by Apollo, as well as fighting a number of other enemies such as other gods.....
There are other heroes too such as other gods and numerous people who can shift into another animal and form their own packs (wolves, jackels, bears.....and the really rare shifters that change into dragons).
I also recommend Patricia Briggs book series. The first book is called "Moon Called." Stefan is my favorite vamp because he likes Scooby-Doo. I think he even had his own mystery machine.

I don't think my favorite vampire series would be considered a franchise.
It's just a book series
And it has more to do with werewolves than vampires.
I've always been more fond of werewolves than vampires so I liked that they were in the spotlight for once and not as the bad guys.
It's by Patricia Briggs.
I can't remember the series though.
It doesn't have an official title it's just "The (main character's name) Saga"
Mercy Thompson, if I remember correctly.
I haven't read it for a long time.

That is a clever ad.
In all honesty, the Twilight craze killed vampires for me. I'm so sick of hearing about how someone thinks "vampires" are so awesome when he or she is referring to the sparkling animal suckers from the series. I just can't take them seriously anymore.
Fortunately people don't really go crazy over the "werewolves" in the book (my sister says they're actually shape shifters), so it didn't kill lycanthropy for me. However, the threads on the World of Warcraft forum after the announcement of Worgen becoming a playable race reveals that werewolves have been killed off for many people thanks to Twilight and you apparently can't like them unless you like the series.
Thank you, Stephanie Meyer. You are my favorite person ever.
I'm sorry. What were we talking about again?

And the Tri-City wolf pack is amazing. heart

But i do love the fact they're as big as bears and have a pack-mentality thing going on that's actually really well thought out.

Although I love the classics still, I hate when vampire's are automatically referred to as sparkling people. On the other hand I did enjoy the first book but that was it. >_> She should have just made a new species rather than call them 'vampires'.

 oh wait, wrong vampire lol @moonshe didnt know much about vampires when writing Twilight and thought that if they were invulnerable/immortal, why was it that the sun kills them? so she thought of the "sparkly" vampires, which, to her, was a better explanation as to why vampires avoid going out in the day though the sun killing them could be because when they turned into vampires, they developed a severe skin disease that causes them to burn up in direct sunlight. yes, i just explained it using science razz (i actually remember seeing something about a little kid who had such a skin disorder, he had the skin of an old man or something and he would pretty much burn up in direct sunlight. so he had to stay inside during recess at school, but his classmates raised money to get him a UV suit or something, not sure, this was a few years ago when i saw it) my mom is a huge Twilight fan and while i've only seen the movies, i like it a bit, but not enough to read the books (bite me, no pun intended >.>)
