The vampires from "Twilight" and other recent shows have been "defanged" and combined with the bad boy romantic lead myth from gothic fiction. The filmmaker interprets this as a sign that relationships have been utterly "demythified."

  • Someone asked me why zombies and sparkly vampires have gotten so popular lately. I offered them my personal theory.

    (1) Stephanie Meyer's sparkly "defanged" vampires explode in popularity (with teenaged girls)

    (2) Everyone who is NOT a teenage girl despises Meyer's "defanged" vampires, and longs for a time when monsters just wanted to eat people.

    (3) Zombies are the ultimate answer to Twilight vampires: they are their polar opposite. Zombies don't want to seduce the living; they want BRAAAINS.

  • yeah? but there is NOTHING romantic about twilight! They just ruined vampires to me for ever...

  • i read the first strain novel and to hear del toro talk about vampires beings "castrated" and "asexual" immediately reminds me of the fact that his vampire creations, as a byproduct of the changing process, lose their genitals

  • @fallsor Oh yeah, you're right! Either way...IT'S TRUE! :)

  • @FilmD21 I think he said "corny"

  • @shinoforever Damn right bud, twilight emo vampire crap..

  • "Almost impossible to dream romantic thing without sounding horny" TRUE THAT!!!!! He is such a smart guy and a great film director. You can not just go wrong with these man!

  • That's okay Guillermo. I'll judge for you.

  • This is why i love the Anne Rice vampires. You can get you're "romantic vamp vibe" right after they get done eating someone.

  • God damn it, he's so right.
