4b) Evolution of the 'Sexy Vampire'

On this week's episode we drank some drinks and got chatting about the powerful cultural impact of twilight... How it said 'Sexy vampire rights!' and teenage girls, and guys probably, and some total non teens alike, all agreed. To this day, vampires are more likely to be sexy than monstrous, and for that we may have to thank Stephanie Meyer. 


Was twilight many a teen girls sexual awakening? Did it single handedly inspire every supernatural show that followed? Will the cast of twilight ever forget that they were in this 5 film long series?
