Why vampires?

Asked by growler (403points) July 10th, 2009

I mean, seriously – why the fascination with vampires? I think they’re neat fantasy lit material, but why feature them almost exclusively? What makes them so attractive to consumers?

They show up in many places – Buffy, Twilight, Blade, and many other pop culture places. I’m just curious what makes them the ideal pseudo-villain/love interest, and hence incredibly popular.
