Edvard Munch - The Vampire.
This painting is pretty sexy, non ?
Freud reckons we are so down with vampires because they satisfy our desire for an incestuous encounter with dead relatives, the fearful act of blood sucking that is connected to seduction, and our desire to be a passive and innocent victim.
Well, it wasn't Freud who said this, it was his homeboy Ernest Jones. He also said that we cover up our desire with the repulsive imagery surrounding the objects of our nightmares ... the dreamer can't be blamed for these images by her subconscious because she too finds them repulsive, but deep down ... totally! gets! off! on them.
I guess a lot of this explains the Twilight obsession.
I know things.
