The only thing remotely "horrifying" about Twilight is the fact that it became so huge. 

It has nothing to do with horror. Sparkly "vegetarian" vampires who don't drink blood. That's what you get when you let a morman write about vampires. So be it.

The Vampire Chronicles - Anne Rice. Not horror, great vampire reads, all centered around the human condition, (especially Interview). At least the first 3 books - 5 and 6 were great too. After that she kind of forgot what she was writing about and Lestat just became too obnoxious to suffer through anymore. 

Dracula was always a love story first and foremost. People seem to forget that.
