I've always been a fan of vampires (and werewolves, for that matter), but I will say I'm burned out by the current trend with that archetype. I much rather prefer Bram Stoker's version (book or movie), the Blade Trilogy, Underworld or even Bela Lugosi's classic version.

Anne Rice was "screwing things up" long before Stephanie Meyer even dreamed up Edward and co. Just look at Interview With A Vampire, especially the movie version. At least back then it was a novel approach to how people perceived vampires.

Also, pretty sure that Buffy The Vampire Slayer's Angel and Spike had a hand in the "tortured soul/ashamed of his existance" part of the current trend.
