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)

Please excuse me if this question has already been asked, but who do you feel is the first vampire and what circumstance led to their creation?
I'm talking about vampire organizations that are imposingly wealthy and have lots of human minions. Possibly secretly rules the world.
The example that comes most readily to mind is overlord Eli Damaskinos and his army from Blade 2.
Im currently working on a rough draft for a book I wish to write. It’s about a vampire falling in love either a merman. And my question is. Are they allowed to show themselves to humans? I know in twilight they can’t because of the Volturi. But in other kinds of lore are the able to put themselves to humans? Thanks✌🏼🧿
Here is the link to the discord. It has been made to chat about all things vampire related in a more informal setting! Hopefully you all like it and enjoy it as a good bit of hard work has been involved! Thanks!
What is the true meaning when someone says they are night people. Not someone who works a night shift but a group of people who do everything at night including kids only playing at night outside.
all of my life, i have been lowkey obsessed over vampires. i love the lore or whatever u wanna call it. i love the idea of being immortal (sometimes😂) the fangs, the heightened senses, and ofcourse, the blood. pretty much all of it. but i actually can't believe i'm about to say this on here but i have learned i can be my true self on this platform, learn new things from everyone, and get opinions. anyways, so a few years ago, i started picking my scabs and being excited to taste the blood. idk.. it like became a thing. i even remember being a kid & loving the taste. i don't do it as excessively as i used to but anytime i see a scab on myself or my bf, it attracts me in a way i can't explain. is this weird? what are ur thoughts on this? and i read an article about megan fox and mgk doing a monthly ritual where they consume a couple drops of eachothers blood. does anyone know what ritual this is and has more information on it?
I saw this movie on tv in like the mid 1990s (1992-1995 possibly) when I was a kid. It was in a modern setting, like maybe 1980s/1990s. It had a scene in it where a male vampire with slick back hair was riding a horse. He got shot in the thigh with an arrow. He looked at the arrow very nonchalantly, then pulled it out. I don’t know when the movie was released, I saw it on tv, like maybe the Fox network, and it aired on the weekends during the day.

I hope this won't be considered advertising, at least overtly. But I'm about to release a video game this Thursday called Vampire Therapist that goes to some really insane places with our favorite sex monsters.
I go deep into the psychology of what it means to see civilizations rise and fall, and how vampires reckon with their immortality and human regrets. While also laughing about it.
I'm just going to try to post here because I'm really excited about this game, and I think if you're a certain type of vampire nerd, you're going to love it as much as I do. This isn't vampire flavor to make a quick buck on a game. I made this thing because I wanted to go to crazy places, and my team of artists and voice actors went right there with me.
I'm at the end stage of development and just really excited about what this is, so if this post is inappropriate, I shall happily go back to the shadows!
So when I was in elementary, I read a book about a woman who became a vampire. I'm gonna keep this short, but in the end, she chose to save so many lives by altering time and her best friend that always stuck by her ended up writing the series about her adventures. Because she altered time and never came into existence, she never gave him her vampire blood which cured him of a terminal illness. Could anyone help with finding the series for me?
For those that consume blood for survival do you find using blood in other things is a good way to consume it? I've heard of blood being consumed in tea but has anyone cooked with blood with similar health results as consuming it plain? Does anyone have recipes they'd be willing to share, or is consuming it plain or directly from the source essential?
EDIT: okay I should have clarified. I'm a writer and I'm researching what happens to blood when used in certain ways and how it reacts. Particularly when it's heated, and used as a food source with other consumable items. A lot of people are getting hung on 'surviving' on blood.
Okay, this is for writing purposes. What does blood smell like if it's left out? I'm told it's different from period blood which usually has an odor. Fresh blood smells metallic, but does anyone know what blood smells like when it's left out?
I've been thinking a lot about how vampires in different forms of media and myth are metaphors for sexual consent and/or sexual assault in a variety of ways, as well as just overall issues of consent. Where then, do you think dhampirs (half vampires and half humans) factor into that metaphor?
It is unfortunate that not many individuals within this community believe in the possible existence of vampires. Regrettably, the majority of participants within this Reddit community are skeptical about the potential existence of vampires. Despite this being a subreddit dedicated to vampires, the group predominantly dismisses the notion of vampires as anything more than mere myths. Perhaps it would be prudent for this community to explicitly specify that it is exclusively focused on fictional vampires, if that is indeed the case. Science is not a god. And shouldn’t be treated like one.
I was watching a video (Urban Fantasy) from the YouTube channel “Terrible Writing Advice” and the host said something very interesting (mind you he was being sarcastic).
“A world ruled by vampires where humans are oppressed into chattel slavery sounds utterly boring. Who would want to read that?”
Well I do. So I started plotting one such story. But I’m curious to know if other people would be interested in reading it. What do you think?
