I hadn't noticed that before, but yes, maybe it is just because most American (?) film makers of the time were once rich/middle class white angsty teenagers?

I know! Enough with the vampires already! I think it's just the tendency for people to copy each other... to notice that something was successful/popular and to say 'hey let's do that too!'
