No, not that crap from Twilight.
Do you like them? If so, how did you get into them?
For me, I got into them because *looks around*, I used to love watching my parents copies of The Lost Boys and Fright Night when I was 5 years old.

When they aren't romanticized, sure.
Blood + Supernatural Creatures biting heads off == happy me.
Vampires are capable of hypnotising humans to do with them as they wish.
That's super awesome. Also the fictional characters are very rich in mythology. I like that.
Yes, I approve of Vampires.
I love vampires in general, but yeah that Twilight stuff... Sucked alot.
Yeah I think it's known I hate twilight.
I love the idea of vampires. The lore around it is pretty cool. I like the dying in sunlight thing. Ya know, no sparkling.. dying. They are vicious blood sucking creatures that drain away your life it's self. You take that away and they sparkle lulz.
I read a bunch of vampirey stuff. Like the Anita Blake series, that's good till about the 10th book :P They made the first book into a comic by marvel!
Then I watched that True blood show too. That's good as well, they both have similar ideas of vamps.
I have been into them for a while, as I said, I just love the lore about them :P
HURRRRRRRRRR I H8 TWILIGHT!!!111111
lol this is becoming an i hate twilight thread. by the way i hate twilight. my ex loved that crap :mad2:. But yeah Vampires are pretty much G-Units. but werewolfs are more coolerest

(Though for the record, everyone pretty much does hate Twilight)
I hate the idea of vampires dying in the sunlight though that is mainly because I do not enjoy the modern vampire lore viewpoint. A lot of it has become romanticized and boring to the point where the majority of vampire-related material is mundane and uninteresting. Folkloric vampire myths are way more interesting than most of the stuff nowadays.Quote:

Dracula makes me shiver

Anne Rice vampires... Meow :jokey:
it depends on my imagination, but vampires in my mind are def. a yes :) It's just a pity that they are becoming so horribly popular these days!
Vampires are awesome when they're off being jackasses and not sparkling. Plus they're crazy hard to kill, you need to be batman level prepared with magical crap to stand a chance.
Oddly enough I can't think of a single vampire movie I've seen. The only vampire books I've read were young adult novels that are essentially the same as Twilight only without all of the hype, so I haven't got a great impression S:
buffy
I've liked vampires as long as I remember. Probably 'cause I'm a huge perv and vampires are very sexual. And blood is awesome. Same reason I like Grey's Anatomy: sex and blood and sex and blood.
I wish my boyfriend was a vampire :(
Someone told me that if you shove a stake into a vampire’s heart then it’ll die so I tried it but it turned out to be a zombie so I died.
I really loved The Last Vampire series by Christopher Pike. Just sayin'.

I also have seen the Blade movies and I prefer the first movie. I haven't seen Twilight nor read the book, but the cover caught my eye while I was in school before I heard about it and I thought it was probably a nice fantasy book, but I never ended up reading it and when I saw the movie previews and heard more of what it's about, it turned me off.
I second Stu.
I was joking.Quote:

i just thought of somthing. If you think of the way modern vampires (like in blade) and modern zombies are pertreyed there very similer in essence. the vampirism/zombification is spread through a sort of pathogen that infects you and turns you within a day or so if your not killed by the attack, they are both walking dead, they both bite you (albeit vamps bite to suck you zombies bite to eat you)
Me too. :DQuote:

So the whole undead life stealing thing... it's been around longer than your modern, "BRAINS" zombies.
While zombies probably existed as well, the dead rising from their graves ya know, but the Vampire lore was more jumped to cause life stealing from blood just seemed cooler.
The general Idea is the same yes, but there are things that make them vastly different. IE: Supernatural powers, Draining blood for sustenance, living long lives, among other things :p
zombies aren't so modern. Haitian voodoo witches supposedly could enslave dead soulless bodies to do their work
Yes hence the "Modern Zombie" phrase and theQuote:

I'm a zombie!
OMG BRADD PITT X TOM CRUISE LUVLUV!!!! <3<3<3
Vampires has great emo-potential... sadly. I've done alot of vampire watching and reading, now that I think about it. I've seen all episodes of Buffy and most of Angel, but the vampires in those are more like comic relief. From Dusk Till Dawn has some great moments too and it's all cliché and just grotesque. I loved the band. I've read Confessions of a Vampire and I Am Legend, and I like how they take a stand from the holy crucifiks part, which I don't like about vampire lore. Another series of books I've read when I was a child, by a danish author, included a vampire who had a weak stomach, so he had to drink red soda, 'cause he couldn't handle blood.
As much as I like genuine vampires.
My favorite come from Rise: Blood Hunter... so very natural... instead of gnashing into skin with fangs they'd use blades to pierce the skin open to create a seeping wound.
Vampires are awesome. They're cool to read about, see on film, and pretend to be.
I am a vampire.
Vampires suck I want to be a sparkly gay stalker one like the ones in Twilight.
They have to if they want to "live".Quote:

Something has been bugging me since Karin. Does anyone know where "vampires can't cross moving water" come from?
Because the crossing usually takes a long time and vampires have to 'sleep' on the soil of their homeland. They solve this problem by bringing along a bunch of dirt when they do leave their homeland and place their coffins on top of it...or whatever it is that they 'sleep' in.Quote:

I thought that in some mythologies that vampires couldn't jump over a moving creek because they would just die...
Oh, I guess maybe there is something to that. I googled and came up with this:
So, you ask. Why can't vampires cross running water? Traditionally running water is pure, and cannot hold magic.
Not sure what magic has to do with vampires though.
Yeah, I'm more a sanguinarian vampire in that I rely more on the life force energy, per se.
Yeah, and then I think it's time for us to feed, per se.
That's true, Bloodrayne. People are going to be frightened of us because they don't understand our ways, per se.
We dress the way our souls feel, to express the darkness, per se.
Goth 2: Aren't you Mike Makowski?
Vampir: That's Vampir Makowski now.
You know, you guys are really giving off a negative human energy. We prefer to take our darkness somewhere else, per se.
Don't worry, Ma'am. As I was just explaining to my new minions, vampires are actually very spiritual [the minions smile] and deep beings, per se.
Yeah, Vampires rock. Per se.
i had a dream i was a vampier once i think im gona get my K-9s inlarged so i look like i got fangs
