"Few creatures of the night have captured our imagination like vampires.
What explains our enduring fascination with vampires? Is it the overtones of sexual lust, power, control? Or is it a fascination with the immortality of the undead?"
Feel free to post any vampire-related content here. I'll be posting various vampire media I enjoy just as a way of kickstarting this community but don't let that stop you from posting something else. I just wanted a place to discuss vampire movies, books, games, etc.

Aw yeah! When she was younger she was also in "The Martial Arts Kid", a truly terrible b-movie with absolutely no redeeming qualities that I thoroughly enjoyed watching a couple months ago.
Based on the name and the trailer, surely that's a deliberately stupid satire, no?
I'd call it a self-aware B-movie. Don Wilson and Cynthia Rothrock are/were actual martial artists who moved into acting, they've each been in many low-budget action films. The thinking was obviously "let's do our own take on The Karate Kid" but I think the intent is sincere rather than satirical.
Interesting. Strange, but interesting. I cannot understand why one would name their sincere take on The Karate Kid "the Martial Arts Kid".
The thing about high-budget first-run films is that a lot of work goes into every part of it. Even the title of the movie. But on a low-budget B-movie, not so much.
