"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.

It is a common vampire name trope and the mixture of victim and donor

Ahhh... Thanks for the explanation. Seems almost obvious in hindsight, but I'm not sure I'd ever have figured it out otherwise.
