Do you believe in vampires, not just in the movies, but in the real world? Vampirism is the belief in the existence of vampires and/or the actions or practices of a vampire. But, do vampires truly exist?  Through my recent adventures of becoming intrigued by the vampire craze in the media, I have stumbled upon many disturbing and fascinating details. Does being a vampire imply that you just dress a certain way, belong to a religious cult, or have a medical condition? According to numerous sites and articles, all of these could be the case, but real vampires do exist. At least in their eyes they do.

I was surprised my visit last week to preview Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights wasn’t a more vampiric experience. Considering our current pop culture climate, I expected a madhouse of hissing, sexy vampires — an exercise in simple supply and demand. Wrong-o.

Sure, Dracula did have one of the eight haunted houses dedicated to him, where his many brides zoom and dance above your head. He didn’t make the cut for top billing, however; that’s shared among Wolfman, Chucky and the creepy puppet from “Saw.”

A few vampire types could be found at the Cirque Du Freak scare zone, a dark block of walkway thriving with characters pulled from Universal Pictures’ upcoming “Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant.” This modest presence of bloodsuckers, in my estimation, did not adequately address the vampire fever that’s hit the nation. It’s a veritable craze I tell you, with our television networks so coordinated with public demand that HBO’s “True Blood” season finale aired the very week that the CW’s “The Vampire Diaries” premiered. One in every seven books sold last quarter was a Stephenie Meyer novel about vampires, accounting for 16 percent of book sales, according to USA Today. Her “Breaking Dawn” was Amazon’s best-selling product in 2008. Even Playboy magazine folded to the undead and themed their October issue “Bloodlust.”

According to Publishers Weekly, young adult publishers feel that vampire books have been beaten to death. This fall, over a dozen new titles will be released with new forbidden love interests - angels. That would be fallen angels to be exact. Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick and Fallen  by Lauren Kate are just two of the books coming our way soon. I’ve been informed that both of these are sure to appeal to the Stephenie Meyer generation, but I have some doubts that there can truly be a fallen angel that will capture our hearts the way Edward Cullen has.
