Group Therapy: Monsters

Victor Vampire, Waldorf Werewolf, and Fred "Frankenstein" Monster discuss Twilight and stereotypes.

V: This whole Twilight thing puts me in a difficult position. Ya know, people are used to seeing vampires as evil undead monsters who wear funny collars. I want to suck your blood... and dress like Liberace at a funeral . But Twilight is a different concept. Now vampires are melodramatic heartthrobs...with designer collars.
W: That doesn't sound so bad. Stylish and handsome.
V: Yeah, but we're either the stereotypical monsters or metrosexual soap stars. Why can't there be movie vampires that are accountants or something?
F: Accountants...overlooked...members...of...society...uuunnhhhh.
V: I mean, imagine a film about a vampire who faces the daily pressures of a 9 to 5 job and also has to deal with marital problems and a blood drinking problem.
W: You think Hollywood would go for that?
V: Why not? I think it could be provocative.
F: Unhhh...Oscar...contender...for...sure...unhhh.
V: I mean werewolves get the every-man treatment. And it's been ok. Teen Wolf, that wolfman movie with Jack Nicholson.
W: *chuckles* A little on the campy side.
V: But I mean, it doesn't bring you guys to one extreme or the other. Definitely shows that wolf persons are regular people, working and dealing with wolf problems.
W: Hmm...
F: Frankensteins...look...mentally...challenged....and....not...in...good...Forrest...Gump...way.
V: Exactly, I think Hollywood has to look into the monster community to dig out the real stories. Monsters have drama.
W: Certainly. But maybe it starts with us, you know? We can get more involved in filmmaking and writing and all that. Maybe get more in the music biz too.
V: Maybe we should start a band. How about that? *chuckles*.
W: *chuckles* I say we discuss it over some lattes. There's a new coffeeshop down the street.
F: Unhh...expressos...hope....theirs...is....better...than...Starbucks...unhhh.
