"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.

I don't disagree with what you're said but I'm not saying that they have the same age or that the ultimate origin doesn't go back further.

The point is that nothing brings home reality of the top bleeding the bottom dry, in all its forms, better than an undying blood sucking parasite, that gains extra life from your dead labour (excess to what you need for a reasonable life etc.). What you're forced to do, but not for the community or pensions, hospitals. Just to make someone else richer, for doing no work.
