I have not yet had the pleasure. But I`m also going to make a guess that these are also kids who have merely graduated from childhood myths of santa claus and the like on to more "mature" of vampires. If they`re still saying the same thing in 10 years, then you may be on to something.

Vampires are meant to care about their own bloodline, humans are just means for survival to them. And I stick to the original myth, no Dracula and these new inventions. But at least Dracula was very close to the myth, not make everything different.
The only similar thing with Twilight's vampires are the teeth, because the rest is not so vampire. She made like a new creature to suit her story and make it look good but called them vampires because kids think vampires are cool.

So you find the Victorian remake version the "best". It too was a huge jump from the original myth - in which vampires wandered around as bloated corpses sucking blood through the belly button of their victim (family member or neighbors) who would become ill and waste away. Neck biting is a later change to the myth, and fangs are quite recent.
You are defending a changed version of a changed version of a changed version of an originally varied myth... from another changed version of the same.
It`s sort of like throwing a fit about a new cover version of a song because it`s different from the version you know to be true... But that version is just a cover version of a cover version of a cover version of the original. See the irony yet?
