Patricia here. Today, I'd like to introduce my friend and colleague Sherrie Henry here on Aaron's blog. She is going to be talking about her favorite paranormal genre!
*************************************************
Question of the week – What is your favorite paranormal
genre?
That is a toughie. I don’t think I could choose a favorite,
but I do have a top two. My vampires and werewolves hold a large part of my
heart. I’ve been a fan of classic horror since I was a little kid, watching the
old Bela Lugosi as Dracula or the Lon Chaney Jr. as Wolf Man movies hosted by
Indianapolis legend, Sammy Terry.
‘Dracula’ (1931) certainly put a more sexy spin on the
vampire legend, being the first in a long line of sexy vampires. The modern-day
vampire has cleaned up tremendously since Bram Stoker’s time. Transforming from
an almost zombie-like creature, thirsting for only blood regardless of its
origin, to the Twilight-esque seekers of both blood and romance. It is simply
amazing, the thought of a creature who lives on the life-force of others
turning into a romantic lead of the day, and the evolution is still on-going.
And that’s what makes at least the vampire genre so intriguing – taking bits
and pieces of the vampire lore, changing, twisting, turning it inside-out at
times, to create a creature so passionate yet at war with itself and its needs.
Who couldn’t love to read about that?
But then you have the soul of the werewolf, tormented by the
full moon, unable to change its destiny each month. Human by almost all
definition, the full moon starts a transformation into a creature of the night
without the morals of man. And there again, we have an evolution from ‘The Wolf
Man’ (1941), a tormented man at war with himself each full moon to those in
today’s movies that can shift at will to protect their own.
So, tough call between the two. I’ve written both and
couldn’t pick a favorite. I can tell you that my least favorite paranormal
genre would have to be ghosts and spirits, although, I did love me some ‘Ghost’
(1990). About as sensual and romantic as you can get with a non-corporeal
being.
