- Latest Review: "The Reich Device" by Richard D. Handy
There was a brief blip of mostly removing the "repressed" and "aggressive" sides and having them represent impossibly romantic lovers, but that got old, fast, also.
Probably, vampires need to rest for a little, to let the Twilight wear off of them, and then they should return, representing something that actually threatens modern society.

Common representations: (a) (repressed/aggressive) sexuality, (b) elitism (aristocracy, rich folk), (c) rebellion, (d) nothing.
I never considered vampires to be mysterious or anything like that. Pop culture simply didn't make that possible.
