Vampires.   <\/p>\n<p>  Yesterday Harriet and Hannah were talking about Robert Pattinson, aka Edward from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twilightthemovie.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">Twilight<\/a>. &#39;He&#39;s so buff,&#39; they sighed dreamily. Yes, as most mums of pre-teens and teens know, vampire books, films and DVDs are HUGE. (And it does seem to be a girl thing &#8211; my son rolls his eyes every time Pattinson and his co-stars appear on TV).   <\/p>\n<p>  I&#39;m not really sure where this vampire obsession came from. What happened to horses, and books about boarding school scrapes? It was only a few years ago that Harriet and her friends were holding &#39;weddings&#39; for their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.buildabear.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">Build-A-Bears<\/a>. Now her bedroom has a distinctly gothic feel and she and her friends dress in black. Alot.   <\/p>\n<p>  Like many of my mum friends, I enjoy watching the post-post-watershed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.channel4.com\/programmes\/true-blood\" target=\"_blank\">True Blood<\/a>. And when I was at school The Lost Boys were big news (yes, showing my age) but those vampires were definitely nasty, not these gorgeous heroic types. No doubt there will be lots of fangs out in force tomorrow night.&nbsp;Who are your favourite&nbsp;TV or movie&nbsp;bloodsuckers, and&nbsp;is it right that vampires &#8211; who, after all, are a bit unsavoury, even if they&#39;re veggie like Edward&nbsp;&#8211; should be pin-ups? Let me know what you think.   <\/p>\n<p>  Have a spooktacular Halloween &#8211; and watch out for&#8230; well, you know.   <\/p>\n<p> written by Liz Jarvis<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What do you think about the Vampire craze?","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,3503],"tags":[203,350,594,595,596,597,598,599],"class_list":["post-1646","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-great-family-life-tips","category-parenting-advice-from-parents","tag-build-a-bear","tag-halloween-2","tag-john-and-edward","tag-robert-pattinson","tag-true-blood","tag-twilight","tag-vampires","tag-x-factor"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\r\n<title>Nasty... or nice? - KidStart Magazine<\/title>\r\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\r\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/nasty-or-nice\/\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Nasty... or nice? - KidStart Magazine\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"What do you think about the Vampire craze?\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/nasty-or-nice\/\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"KidStart Magazine\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2009-10-30T08:29:00+00:00\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2013-06-24T13:13:28+00:00\" \/>\r\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Anita\" \/>\r\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\r\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Anita\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\r\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/nasty-or-nice\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/nasty-or-nice\/\",\"name\":\"Nasty... or nice? - KidStart Magazine\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2009-10-30T08:29:00+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2013-06-24T13:13:28+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/0f892175d96fe3714b565dc5da94471b\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/nasty-or-nice\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/nasty-or-nice\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/nasty-or-nice\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Nasty&#8230; or nice?\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/\",\"name\":\"KidStart Magazine\",\"description\":\"KidStart - a little help along the way\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":{\"@type\":\"PropertyValueSpecification\",\"valueRequired\":true,\"valueName\":\"search_term_string\"}}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/0f892175d96fe3714b565dc5da94471b\",\"name\":\"Anita\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/1ed254c55b7b84fc4ac5b27299652760?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/1ed254c55b7b84fc4ac5b27299652760?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"caption\":\"Anita\"},\"description\":\"I\u2019m Anita, a mum to two under 5s, a blogger, journalist and author.
