Well, I personally think Twilight is the ultimate piece of crap on this planet but I doubt it could actually be the leading cause for something like that. Now REAL vampire fiction, that shit could make an insane person go berserk.
Also OT: Not to be rude or anything but.... "really hoping for vampires"? Are you serious or are you just messing about?
Well, it's interesting to see how thoroughly vampires have made their way into the culture at large here in the US. I don't believe that Twilight or any other vampire material was to blame for this, but it's obvious that it had an influence on how this guys mental problem's manifested.
A little disappointing but I'll take the old-lady-biting maniac if it means something interesting has happened.
So what else is new?Haseo21 said:

I guess the best way to cure of his vampire obsession is to strap him to a chair and make him watch the Twilight films to bring him back to Earth.
Seriously thought good thing the woman had escape and that nut need alot of help.

Maybe he was trying to disprove twlight and instead act like that fright night movie?
Still this is hardly the first time this happened. and not nearly as cool as the Zombies that walk around in Haiti

Yep. I've been saying for a while now that gamers aren't being persecuted anymore, they just have a persecution complex. I mean, we've pretty much won; almost everyone under the age of 30 games these days, with plenty of gamers being over that age -- some of the players on a Battlefield 2 server I frequent are in their 50's for cryin' out loud. But gamers just love to pull out the "they're blaming videogames!!11!!111" card whether the blame is actually being put on videogames or not. The reactions to this story are an example of that mindset being extended to something else that isn't really being attacked, but is mentioned in just the right way that gamers feel like it is and rush to defend it out of solidarity.Staskala said:
OT: The guy is screwed up in the head, and it's a pretty terrible situation. Although I have to say, I'm reminded of how the cops treated Kyle Reese in the first Terminator movie, and how the mental hospital treated Sarah Connor in the second one. I'm sure the guy is just crazy, but something in the back of my head is going "in a few years time, a werewolf is going to bust in there trying to kill this guy, and any bystanders are only going to have themselves to blame for not listening to him."
I think your interpretation is more simplistic than the original comment. The psychologist was saying that, because vampires are experiencing a popularity spike in fiction, they attract more attention from the mentally unstable. This is no different from explaining that ignorant folk used to equate LSD use with witchcraft back when people believed in such things, as they had no realistic lens through which to view the experience.King Toasty said:
