Any other dark writers?

Oh, I just remembered two other great werewolf movies. Gingersnap 1 and 2. The third one wss okay.

 

Ive seen all three. They were one of those movies that left you feeling happily drk and moody. I loved it. lol. I love cult classic movies.

 

architectus, im watching the howling now. its pretty good thus far.

 

When I think vampires, dark vampires... I think Tristania or Eternal Tears of Sorrow.

I don't know why, but for some reason Gothic or Gothicy bands have a strange aura amongst them.

 

I guess you could say im a fan of Vampires and Werewolves. Im currently writing a story about zombies and a group of teenagers trying to survive the hordes of Zeds.

 

Great films, the ones that my Username (and many of my outlooks on society today) is derived from.

Ginger Snaps was the best. 4/4 (Though Jesse Moss sucks and should have been killed off. )

Ginger Snaps 2 was amazing as well, but not quite on par. 3.5/4

Ginger Snaps 3 was just awesome, and nearly as good as the first. 4/4

 

Ginger Snaps was indeed very good. For the plot, It pwned all, but as for the atmosphere... I prefered 2 better. I liked the feel of it. I twas darker somehow.

Ginger Snaps 3 was good, but I was annoyed because it was one of those thigns where its like... the series is over.. let it go... ya know?

 

Cool, so what did you end up thinking of it?

 

Never before have I seen two werewolves making love... that was a first. But good GOD the transformation scenes were really well done. Better than underworld, and that was done with modern day tools.

It was awesome.

And random sidenote... I liked how they made the main character turn into a cutesy werewolf... lol.

 

I am. Hopefull it's going to be darker, more dangerous and better than Twilight.

 

I don't think Twilight being aimed at a teen audience justifies the simplistic and flawed style of Meyer. But thats just my take.

And I dont think 'dark writing' encompasses vampires or other such beasts. You could write a light-hearted, comic chick-lit about vampires and werewolves if you wanted to. In the same way, you could write a haunting and menacing tale about a cute ten year old girl. It all depends on what you do with them.

 

Honestly, I'm tired of seeing "good" vampires. I want to go back to the dark ones. Which is what I'm working on doing.

 

I agreed with 100% of the things you said, although personally bloodlines occupies a very special reserved part of my heart

 

The title teased me. Sad face. I consider myself a dark writer, but not of werewolfs and vampires. Like someone else around here mentioned, I like psychological horror and just exploring the darkness of man. And I tend to write my novels in the perspective of the real life monsters, murderers, and serial killers. I write general horror, psychological horror, and horror comedy [which still tends to be dark]
