Looking for something to watch over the weekend, I picked up a copy of the first Twilight video for a fiver out of Tesco. After all, we’ve been subjected to the whole ‘New Moon’ ad campaign having never seen the first, so it seemed like a good idea. Rachel and I fairly enjoyed it, which probably wasn’t much of a surprise since we were both ‘Buffy’ fans in our relative youth. It while it may have been geared to a younger market, I’ve always been interested in the whole Nosferatu/vampire legends even as a kid. Which was probably the real reason I wanted to see it. Something’s been nagging me about the whole saga. The new ads show a wolf squaring up to a vampire. Yet from my recollection of books and comics like Scream, a vampire could take on four forms - undead human, bat, mist and wolf. Now unless a Christmas visit from niece/nephews requires a visit to see the new film at the cinema, it’s a question that’s going to bug me for a while yet. But it’s hardly festive viewing. Is it?
