Vampires were popular even before Twilight, even though Twilight boosted their popularity with sceney beanies, emu kids and goffs. Oh and lots not forget soccer moms! Oh well, they can have their sparkling vampires as long as I get to see some real vampire movies/games/shows  Yeah I am a pirate. What are you gonna do about it?

Maybe people are tired of the same holes being filled, so get a kinky thrill out of creating new holes and filling them.

All of a sudden?
I would say it's been a bit calm past two years apart from twilight, but that's basically a spinoff of the real vampire genre.

To quote (William) Mark Simmons (who has, in my opinion, awesome trilogy with vampires as main characters): it is all about sucking and "shagging". (can not use f word so replaced it, but you get the idea)

The classic vampire is cold to the touch and has foul breath-remember, they are dead. Shagging just doesn't come to mind.

Vampires were always popular. Lately they just made the leap from horror to mainstream, which began with the original Buffy movie and culminated in the current sparkle extravaganza.

I had to double check. Coppola's Dracula and Buffy movie, both came out in 1992. I guess that was the kick start.

The recent resurgence in Vampire movies and books, originated in the emergence of AIDS. Vampires have always been a way of examining our anxieties about Sex and Death.

Specificaly, it was probably the movie of Anne Rice's novel 'interview with The Vampire', which started the trend of recent years. By then, people were tired of being told to be scared of AIDS, and welcomed the idea of 'nice' vampires, vampires who do not kill, and ultimately vampires who are totally lacking in sexual threat.

That's pretty incoherant, not sure what you are trying to say, but I see Twilight as neutering the Vampire into the ultimate non-threatening figure, a way of placating teenage anxieties about sexuality and adulthood, by preaching abstinence. It takes the idea that Sex=Death, and waters it down into sentimentalism. In a sense , the vampire in this fulfills the role of the gay best friend.

All of this has happened before and will happen again.
Bram Stoker's Dracula (the book) was one of the most popular books in all of history. Captivating to both men and women. Dangerous, sexual, mystifying, horrifying.... vampires make for good stories.
Ever since Bela Lugosi film and film watchers have been obsessed with vampires.
Hell there have been hundreds of renditions of Dracula alone... not to mention all the other non-Dracula focused vampire media.
They did not get popular all of a sudden. You are simply cursed with the inability to see beyond five feet in front of your face.

I dunno, I don't keep up to date with TV, movies or games. I can however tell you why I like, have liked and always will like the idea of vampires:
Hot undead charming as hell elusive naughty perverted never aging vampire chicks.

True Blood is the vampire series for me: intelligent, intriguing and graphic.
Vampires are like skateboards: their popularity waxes and wanes over the years as each generation discovers them anew and then moves onto TNBT.
I would say that Eve is vampiric in that older players will always be stronger and more powerful. But that would be opening a big can of worms
