I agree with the vampire point. They used to just be creepy, dangerous, and hard to kill when I was in my formative years. About as cool as cockroaches. How times have changed.
As far as Lord of the Flies goes, it is reasonably well written and carries a very important message. Children should be exposed to that message, although it's clear from many adult's behaviour that it doesn't always sink in during studies.
