Sure, it was ony a matter of time before someone tried to cash in on the whole &#8220;Twilight&#8221;  hype by creating a  musical mockumentary that spoofs all things teen vampire related, but this series looks to not only feature plenty of cheese but also a little edge &#8211; like a &#8220;Glee&#8221; for the vampire world.<!--more-->In &#8220;I Kissed a Vampire,&#8221; standard vampire fare abounds &#8211; love triangles,  a sweet and innocent girl-next-door, and, well, blood, but all with a lighthearted twist. But  what I like best is that the series also features some impressive yet cheeky  rock songs like &#8220;Go for the Throat&#8221; mixed with catchy  pop tunes like &#8220;Irresistable.&#8221;So if you like vampire-themed stories, you&#8217;ll find plenty to love about this show. And if you don&#8217;t like vampire-themed stories, I bet you&#8217;ll still find something in this show to smile about, at the very least. And if the trailer below doesn&#8217;t quench your thirst for this bloody new show, well, in another smart marketing movie, &#8220;I Kissed a Vampire&#8221; has a free featurette you can download  on iTunes whie waiting for the October 13th series premiere.<object classid=\"clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000\" id=\"EmbedPlayer\" width=\"500\" height=\"309\"
