I've not followed this current vampire/zombie craze, which I guess
started with the now defunct TV series, Buffy, The Vampire Slayer.

I blame Anne Rice and her damnably introspective and whiny vampire who got interviewed. Shame of the whole vampire community, he was.

But I'm wondering what will come along to kill off the current craze
the way Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein did
with humor and ridicule back in the 40's.

I was sure it was going to be The Hunger Games, but that clearly didn't have the staying power of sparkling vampires. Too close-ended of a storyline.
