The 2010s were the height of sexy vampires in popular culture. Twilight, The Vampire Diaries, and True Blood shaped my entire teen years. The grip the vampire genre had in this era is truly one for the history books.
One night, when I was trying to find something to scratch that particular itch, I came across Fright Night. A remake of the 1985 cult classic movie, (which you can catch 8pm AEST, December 21 on PEDESTRIAN TELEVISION).
This version’s from 2011, during the said resurgence of the sexy vampire, and starring Colin Farrell as the hot vampire. Count (Dracula) me in.
Ever since then, I’ve had a deep buried yearning for a romantic vampire lover (minus the murdering humans to survive sitch, of course). But bear with me here. They’re mysterious, impossibly fast, and strong. Their skin is pale white and ice cold. Their eyes change colour, and sometimes they speak like they’re from a different time. A hopeless romantic’s dream (or at the very least, Bella Swan’s).
