Yeah now more than ever people have this particular image of vampires in their mind's eye. So going to this sort of visual extreme in a story without the proper supporting circumstances in place would be an uphill battle for a writer.
I mean look at the negativity people have against twilight and all it did was make vampires sparkle in the sunlight.
I'm just saying people's preconceptions of what makes a vampire and what they look like is something writers have to keep in mind when introducing them into their story.
True Vero. As for myself I like my Vampires to be creatures of the dark that despite their looks seduce with the promise of eternal life. My werewolves to be children of the nights and beasts not cuddly little puppies.
Personally I like the best of both worlds. I like the dark seductive sexy vampire, but that's all a mask they wear to lull their prey underneath it all is the predator of your nightmares. Where they've evolved to use their sex appeal the same way an anglerfish has to draw their supper in close and in private.
As for werewolves, I prefer the tragic victim of a primal side of himself he can't explain or entirely comprehend routine, but he's basically an animal when the moon is full, not a monster, wild and hungry and dangerous, but following the logical demands of nature and animal instinct.
Out and out monsters seem monochromatic to me, if they are monsters, then it is what they do that should mark them as such not what they look like.
