Dead Air: Do Modern Vampires Suck?

How did vampires evolve (or, some would claim, devolve) from terrifying, bloodthirsty monsters into dreamy, romantic figures? Do modern vampires suck - and not in a good way? Or do these widely different interpretations only make vampires more fascinating? From Nosferatu to Dracula to Lestat to Edward Cullen, and on to the modern scary vampires in Salem's Lot and The Strain, we'll talk about the many different characterizations of vampires in fiction. And, of course, we'll talk about where Eric Northman fits in. Recommended reading for the show (it's only 3 pages!) - http://www.ew.com/ew/special/0,,20397912_20430023,00.html
