That chill you feel on your neck could mean you’re coming down with “New Moon” fever. Or you could be standing too close to a vampire.
You’d think with Halloween behind us, we would have put our love of the fanged, undead creatures away for another year, but this month vampires are hot.
The recent pop culture explosion of all-things vamp has especially transformed the Internet, where fans across the country have flocked to share their interest and learn more about myths and folktales.
Yahoo! has seen an overwhelming spike in searches in the past month.
The real push behind this love of the “cold ones” is the
Twilight teen vampire book and movie series, in particular the release of “New Moon” hitting theaters Friday.
In fact,
over 78% of all “New Moon” searches made on Yahoo! in the past month were from females, including spiking searches for characters such as “Edward Cullen” and “Jacob Black.”
