5 SENSES 'TICK DIARIES' IS BETTER THAN 'DUSK'


Listen up, Twi-hards!

"Twilight" might get all the headlines ("New Moon" Crosses $200 Mil Mark!" "Kristen Stewart: 'I'm So Not Bella!'").

But "

The Vampire Diaries," additionally the story of the lethal undead, has sensitively built the constant following, initial as the array of young-adult novels as well as right away as the CW TV series.

The dual may

seemthe same — both have been high-school-set dramas about the immature mortal lady in adore with the brooding evil spirit man — though "The Vampire Diaries" is no "Twilight" wannabe.

With the initial 10 episodes of "Diaries" as justification (all week, the CW is marathoning the deteriorate so distant upon Ch. 11, vamping until the uncover earnings subsequent month), here have been 5 reasons it's improved than "Twilight":

1.) Believe it or not, "The Vampire Diaries" came first.

The "Vampire Diaries" book series, by L. J. Smith, proposed in 1991 — that's fourteen years forward of Stephenie Meyer's initial "Twilight" book, in 2005.

The array went out of imitation until 2007, when author Alloy Entertainment — the association that gave us the "Gossip Girl" book as well as TV array — worked upon the reissue as well as shopped around the TV version.

"We positively saw the success of the 'Twilight' books as well as felt that there was an opportunity," Alloy Entertainment boss Les Morgenstein told The Post.

2.) The Vampire Diaries is bloody, bloody as well as full of killing.

In alternative words, it's the some-more normal evil spirit abhorrence story than "Twilight," that is complicated upon romance, light upon murder.

And whilst they all demeanour similar to models in both series, the ones upon "Diaries" infrequently get dirty.

"The vampires, whilst pretty, have been still arrange of vicious," explained Lindsay Soll, editor of MTV's Hollywood Crush blog. "When they're inspired as well as about to feed, their fangs come out — they don't even

havefangs in 'Twilight' — as well as their veins hang out. They're not fearful to have flattering people ugly."

They're additionally not fearful to have flattering people die.

There's already the large physique equate and, right away that the people of Mystic Falls, Va., have been entertainment their stakes as well as fighting back, Morgenstein promised, "There will be some-more killings."

3.) These voluptuous vampires essentially have sex!

In "Twilight," Bella as well as Edward lust after any alternative as well as nonetheless miraculously conduct to equivocate carrying sex. Written by the Mormon, "Twilight" has prolonged been deliberate an avoidance fantasy.

Not so "Vampire Diaries," that has no secretly neutered innocence.

"We're not pulling any punches," pronounced Morgenstein.

4.) Elena is an eccentric immature woman.

Perhaps "Twilight" is so renouned given Bella is the empty slate, an everywoman upon that immature girls can plan fantasies of themselves.

But Elena, of "Diaries," sets an e.g. for immature girls as the strong-minded woman.

"She doesn't let her captivate to Stefan utterly carry out her, given Bella is all without eyes by her passion," Soll said.

"When Bella finds out that Edward's the vampire, she acts similar to she's only schooled he went to the dentist — as if it's no large deal." "She gives herself over to Edward, whilst Elena questions it all, similar to most people would."

5.) Had it with the Twi-hype? "The Vampire Diaries" is the underdog.

And who doesn't adore rooting for an underdog?

Evidently it's the vampire's universe right right away — though you get to select that of most evil spirit tales to watch. (HBO's "

True Blood" will lapse subsequent June, by the way.).

And given "Twilight" didn't invent vampires, how about giving Bella as well as Edward's vacant, lovestruck gawk the rest, as well as lazy your eyes upon "The Vampire Diaries."
