Anything and everything vampire-related, from the classics to modern-day!
Rules
No harassing, name-calling, targeting, etc. Simply put, be nice.
While posts can be made related to vampire tv shows, books, and movies, please make the posts about actual vampire-lore or to do specifically with the vampire aspect of the show/movie/book. For example, this is not a subreddit to discuss the plot lines/who's your favorite character/relationship drama/etc. of a specific show. General questions about favorite characters and such may be asked.
Please attempt to use proper grammar/spelling.
If a post is NSFW, please mark it as so. Failing to do this will result in removal of post.
Flair can be edited. Inappropriate flair will result in a request for removal. If flair is not removed, it may result in banning.
Ultimately, as moderator, I will make decisions based on these rules and you may message me about any disagreements. Repeated offenses may result in banning. These rules are subject to change. If you see any violation of these rules, please report it/let me know.
Also, while not necessary, the following markers would be useful if added to your titles:
[Question] - Any questions on the subject that would not be considered conversation starters. i.e. "Where did the vampire myth originate?" would get this marker, but "Which historical "vampire" is your favorite?" would not.
[Book] - If you are recommending a book (not discussing one)
[Movie] - If you are recommending a movie (not discussing one)

when i was fourteen, i asked how to be a vampire on reddit. now i keep missing all of my work shifts because i sleep all day and drinking blood is surprisingly both disgusting and apparently dangerous!
Is it weird that I really wanna be a hellsing style vampire from the manga, or do people share the same feelings as me?
Random horror-comedy anti-fanfic crossover idea I just had to get out of my head. Just a oneshot for now, but with the possibility of continuing it later. Summary: Things don’t exactly go according to plan on Bella’s first hunt as a newborn vampire when a helicopter crashes nearby. Breaking Dawn meets Fifty Shades Darker with TVD-inspired vampire rules.

Everyone's always asking, "How do you become a vampire? How does it feel to become a vampire?" But nobody is asking...
"What would you do if a vampire bit your love interest and wisked them away to their lair?"
The drama intensifies...
A distant relative informed me that this would help someone.
This is new for me, as is english, but all things are done in time. I am from France, i know many language poorly but i have interest about the way those who enjoy us believe us to be. So ask long questions please
What is the step by step process and or method on to be turned into a vampire? I want to be turned.!!! I’m currently 25 years old. I’m not getting any younger. So would like to be turned so I won’t age any more. As well as acquire superhuman strength and speed, stamina and heightened senses.
Does anyone know of any good vampire novels/even online literature set within semi-modern times that has a human and vampire romance trope (preferably slow-burn)?
I'm looking for something along the lines of Twilight or vampire diaries where the vampire lore isn't too extravagant or out there.
I just finished reading Crave but was thrown off by the concept of Dragon shifters and vampire royalty :/
I prefer more casual realism within the stories and less 'in-your-face' lore
How would ya feel if you got bit? When I was 15 that woulda been a dream come true but now i’m 35 boy howdy would I be pissed
Marked as NSFW for caution Lucien is the man who raised the prince of the vampires in my novel, Return of the Beast King. He suffers from a more unique case of DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder). He firmly believes himself to be human. However, the fact that he's been alive for an undocumented amount of time and possesses the strength of ten men has been making it difficult understanding that he is anything but human.

So I’ve been thinking of writing a fic about a guy getting this power and was wondering if there was a show/movie/novel out there that already had something like this. Thought this sub would be the best place to ask so I’d appreciate any leads, thanks!
Are there cases of cops that have ever tried to arrest a vampire?
My version of Vampires can only drink human blood they can't substitute it with animal blood but
Would it make sense if they can at least briefly substitute human blood with sugar?
They would have to consume a lot of it and it only works as like a temporary solution but does it make sense?
Edit:
Okay I didn't think people would be that interested hence why I put a basic question here's the whole idea
Okay, so Vampires feed on blood to drain people of their life force right? Well the main source of energy in the human body is glucose which is your blood sugar
This is why I think sugar works as a temporary solution to drinking blood but they do require proteins and other things found in blood hence why it's necessary to consume human blood
The reason I'm working out why animal blood doesn't work is a difference in proteins and glucose levels
And by sugar, I'm talking the pure hard-core kinds of it Honey, pixie sticks, mints, Peeps, etc.
Not like cookies and cake
Or is it quite the opposite?
What is the average lifespan of vampires?
I know they are not real.
But I've been obsessed with vampires for a few months now and I want to indulge in the aesthetic more. There are obvious ones, like goth fashion, I am also an evening person and have natural fangs. I have also created a playlist, but that's about all I could think of. What else could I do for the vibes without turning into a badly designed halloween decoration?
