Vampire movies are very popular at the moment. It all startet last year with the "Twilight saga" being filmed. The Vampire theme in the Twilight saga's latest movie "New Moon" portraiting teenage girls falling in love with teenage Vampires and Vampires as sexsymbols. The TV-series "The Vampire Diaries" is made over the same theme. Themes like that are bull market movies and they where released right at the [B] wave top, but the theme is changing for more fearsome creatures like the "Wolfman", The shift towards brutal and fearsome creatures show us that a shift in the mood is happening and the change is for the worse. We have seen these types of movies before. In 1922 the very gruesome-looking "Nosferatu" Vampire was released and during the depression years "Count Dracula" was very popular. If the Wolfman becomes a hit, we have one more fact confirming a shift in the public mood for the worse and the continuation of the bear-market.
