I read a theory that vampires were popular during the Bush administration and zombies were popular during the Obama years. Nobody feels strongly enough about Biden so now neither are popular
I mean, there was some kind of pattern. Twilight exploded in the 2000s and The Walking Dead was huge in the early 2010s. If you swapped their release dates neither would have been as big. Timing was everything
Twilight exploded when Obama was president. The first couple of books were Bush era but it was not a huge phenomenon until the movies. In terms of source material TWD comics are actually older than the Twilight books.
No one cared about the Twilight books before the movies either.

Lots of teenage girls did, the boooks were bestsellers so they made the movies because they knew they already had a guaranteed audience

Likewise for TWD, just with a different target audience. In either scenario the source material, both of which were very successful by the standards of their respective media, were Bush era while the global success of the adaptations were Obama era.
In fact come to think of it Vampiremania and Zombiemania both peaked in Obama's first term. Before that you had a lot of financially successful films about both all throughout the Bush years.
I watched Interview with a vampire for the first time recently and though Tom Cruise played a really good Lestat. The girl who played Claudia was fricking awful though
Yeah, I was on a vampire kick a while back and found many of the vampire movies I knew really were the only ones made, very few new entries to that list, at least this movie delivered, it's certainly pretentious but at least is good and has great aesthetics something that is a must when dealing with vampire kinos, Underworld comes to mind in that regard.
They're still being made.
Literally best film of 2023
No
I enjoyed it
These two were the last remaining ones except for the girl in A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night so there are no vampires to film

That's the type of shit undergrads who are trying to be famous on letterboxd come up with. Stop being so impressionable.

What will the next decade of derivative shite be centred around?
Furries
Videogame and anime shit. We’re already seeing it.
There were Pirates of the Caribbean movies before that.
I hope ninjas make a comeback
They made a Kickback.
they made a couple last year and they bombed. The Nosferatu and Salem's Lot remake may come out this year though

Vampires were always a little homosexual, then Twilight came along and absolutely killed the genre for heterosexuals and goths.
>a little homosexual
>a little
Anne Rice clearly wanted to write yaoi, but it was the 80s and she had to hide her urges
