What if I said that this relates to economic instability and “evil nanny” media?

This is so interesting, but one question, aren't Vampires also like an allegory for gay people?

I loved how the Blade movies really played into this and tied the vampires more to wealthy elites controlling the institutions of power more so than the actual vampiric strength

This adds so much more reading into Louie being in Dubai of all places too, thank you for this

I also see "filthy rich romance" tropes pop up during recession, which makes me think that in times of financial uncertainty some of us would like to be saved from the challenges of poverty. It's not in a horror context though so maybe not what you're talking about. However I wouldn't say Twilight or TVD, etc are horror either. It's interesting how the horror genre bleeds into the romance genre sometimes. I'd love to see more of these.

I'd love to hear this applied to Buffy, Spike, and Angel.

fun take! vampires as a symbol draining society should be hitting us in the face again with how the economy is shaping, but I wanted to point out how well they function as a critique with the idea of there being no ethical consumption under capitalization. also I did want to hear your take on undertone if you've seen it because I found it was excellent, and its approach to how it presented the horror felt very psychological.

Oh my god, it was worth sitting through 9:29 of this on its own, but to drop “how long can a person delight in draining other people of things YOU KNOW they need, before you become divorced from your humanity” at the very end is AMAZING

And a lot of people hated The Invitation because they didn’t want to see that critique of themselves.

this is so so good when you watch how Louis interacts with capital throughout the series (becoming an art dealer/"investor" and living in DUBAI??? while pretending to be a lover of history and art???? cmon)

This is the kind of analysis and work opportunity I dreamed my double major degree in anth/soc and social science (with minors in history and psychology) could have led to back in the 80’s. 😂🥺🤩 Thrilled that I live on a timeline where I get to experience this vicariously, and thrilled there’s a platform for brilliant young women like you.

also just remembered Robert Pattinson being asked if he was able to steal anything from the twilight set, as some actors will do at the end of a series. His response while laughing, "my dignity."

related but unrelated, I would subscribe to a long form media channel from you about different monsters like I would love to hear your thoughts of werewolves 🥰

Mac :
the way the confederacy repeatedly shows up in vampire media is so interesting, especially when the story very explicitly gives that background to characters the narrative wants us to read as conflicted and fighting inner demons, but still ultimately good. Jasper (twilight) and Damon (tvd) are both characters that are presented to us as redeemable, despite their wrongdoings and how they still struggle againsts their "worst instincts". TVD's inclusion of this narrative is particularly fascinating because it was something intentionally added into the show and Damon's vampire origins are rooted in that period, a compete deviation from the book series.

what would you think of some sort of leftist vampire? it's something I've wanted but how would that fit into monster theory?
