Normally I ignore the rubbish coming out of Hollywood that involves witches, goblins, ghosts, and vampires.  That whole passage in Philippians comes to mind:

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. (Philippians 4:8)

Given that neither Harry Potter nor the Twilight series seem to fit into any of those categories, I haven't paid them much mind beyond being generally aware that they are a "big deal" to the American public.  Imagine my surprise when I read an article on Foxnews.com entitled "Vampire Books Like 'Twilight' May be Altering Teen Minds".

"Surprise?", you may ask.

"What surprise is there about those types of books 'altering teen minds'?"
