"Few creatures of the night have captured our imagination like vampires.
What explains our enduring fascination with vampires? Is it the overtones of sexual lust, power, control? Or is it a fascination with the immortality of the undead?"

Feel free to post any vampire-related content here. I'll be posting various vampire media I enjoy just as a way of kickstarting this community but don't let that stop you from posting something else. I just wanted a place to discuss vampire movies, books, games, etc.

The Pope added a "maximum range/volume" to the blessing of holy water, to ensure no one blessed water en masse. We don't want regular ocean water or toilet bowl water to be holy. (aussie.zone)

Since Vampires are supposedly hurt by holy water, I always wondered why priests don't just say a prayer over every storm cloud, kill the vampires from above. Then I realized why so many Vampires are from Europe...

Someone already blessed the rains down in Africa.

Though occasionally your luck runs out when you meet a really ancient vampire who can only be stopped with the totems of a stone-age shamanic cult no historic record remains of.

Or garlic

Or didn't they have garlic in the ancient times?

They'd have had proto garlic. Probably not as delicious as modern, but still like. Tasty?
