why are people so influenced by the mystical creatures that are present in today's literature and film?

by things like vampires, werewolves, witches, wizards, knights of old…etc.
i want to know what makes it so appealing, for example i know people use the ‘mystical realm’ as an escape from other things in the real world but what are some other reasons?

A lot of people choose to believe in those things or believe they are one of those things because of low self-esteem.
People that believe they are vampires, werewolves, etc. often feel like they don’t fit in and feel like they don’t have any control over their lives. So, in order to feel special, powerful, and "better" than those who put them down, they convince themselves they are a mythical creature.
As far as just believing in them goes - again, it’s a wish for a different life, a desperate desire to know a "secret", so to speak - they think they know about something magical and wonderful that the rest of the world just has no clue about. It gives them a sense of hope that maybe, someday, this creature/being will come into their lives and change it for the better.
Hollywood makes being a vampire, werewolf, or sorcerer very appealing. Those people are usually attractive, super-strong or have super-powers, have a group of like beings that are their "family", etc. All the things everyone dreams of being - powerful, accepted, and beautiful.
The phenomenon will probably never die out. There will always be someone, somewhere, who is lonely or fragile who needs to believe there is something more to this world than what it is, without ever realizing there is so much out there that is real, and not imaginary, that makes life worth living.
because they r real that is y. i am a vampire so HA
well it’s in peoples subconscious mind to believe that there is something more important than them but there r people like the guy down there that thinks he is a vampire because he can’t stand that he is not special like those movie chars!!!he wants to be and feel like something more so he identifies with vampires(probably because he feels that they r most fascinating)…so if u want to know something more contact me on my e-mail….
bye…
I think it’s a possibility people have just become even more gullible and stupid
