This twisting is a bit difficult to completely understand. However, as with most deception, if one takes notice of the results, positive or negative, and then follows those results back to the intension, they can make a determination based on the results. Bad results equal bad intension; Good results equal good intension. Why would Hollywood want to re-write, twist, and tweak an evil character into a ‘not-so-bad’ guy with a lot of good-looking lady friends? Simply because it makes things evil more appealing and acceptable to our impressionable children. Allow me to continue and if you begin to have trouble following, come back and re-read this paragraph again. Let’s apply this understanding to the new twisted character they intend for our children to emulate.
Vampires of the past were held to be evil and inhumanely cannibalistic by just about everyone. Vampires were creepy looking and acting characters. In our day, vampires had to endlessly roam the night looking to drink the blood of their next unwilling victim. Vampires were damned souls destined to roam the earth and to never experience the final resting place of heaven.

Women were not drawn or sexually attracted to vampires, on either side of the big screen. Vampires were not ‘sexy’ or seen as attractive because they were completely disgusting, gross and evil beasts that slept in coffins! Pretty
