Interesting article trying to connect the Bush-era zombie movie craze with the Obama-era vampire craze.

One answer: These gore-flecked flicks are really competing parables about class warfare.

“Democrats, who want to redistribute wealth to ‘Main Street,’ fear the Wall Street vampires who bleed the nation dry,” Newitz argued, noting that Dracula and his ilk arose from the aristocracy. “Republicans fear a revolt of the poor and disenfranchised, dressed in rags and coming to the White House to eat their brains.”

This very loosely connects with what I was saying about Obama and UFO’s the other day… but I didn’t support my statements nearly so well.
