Hollywood Reporter turns the spotlight on '30 Days of Night' director David Slade, creator/screenwriter Steve Niles and producer Sam Raimi. The pair talks about why vampires have lost their teeth and how they aim to sharpen those fangs again.
"They just weren't scaring people anymore," Slade said.
"As time has gone on, we kept deconstructing, deconstructing -- and then you get to Anne Rice, and she makes them lead characters, sympathetic characters," Niles said. "And now, we have vampire detectives on TV and high school girls are dating them. It's gotten ridiculous. We completely disarmed everything that was scary about them."
So with Niles making vampires fearful on paper again, Slade and producers Sam Raimi and Robert Tapert set out to make them terrifying onscreen.
