Vampires. Any thoughts?

Corny movies...zombies are much more horrifying enemies

Zombies are like, my all-time worst fear, guy.

Zombies are kind of gross....I don't mean like bad food gross..I mean like Dawn of the Dead in a crowded theatre with six hulking, sweaty forty-something year-old men on either side of you, and no air conditioning...that kind of gross.

Vampires suck.
But now for the important questions.
1. Did God create the vampires or did they evolve?
2. Why do vampires vote Bush/Kerry?
3. Did Saddam have evil nuclear a/o chemical vampires or did he not?

*appears in a puff of smoke*
I vant to suck your...
*looks at notes*
BLOOD! BLAH!
*Latches onto the next posters neck*

duh saddam is a vampire, and any one who is liberal/christian/rightwing/atheist is a zoimbe and should burn in hell/repect science/be more tolerant/be more patriotic. zombies suck and vampires are biters.

1 God created vampires to test the faith of humans, and to prove that christianity is the one true religion. After all, vampires run from a cross, not a star of david.
2 Vampires are democrats. We know this because many of them seem gay (they are all about sucking afer all). Since gays aren't very welcome among republicans they are democrats.
3 We are confident he did, but have not yet found Saddam's secret vampire weapons project. It may have been smuggled into Syria.

Will it ever be possible to build and reanimate a "frakenstein's" monster? If so what color will it be; putrid flesh or Scooby-doo green?

Also, are the neck bolts and spaz shoes really needed?

Do wolfmen need flea collars?

This is funny, I'll play along

1. The Kerry/Bush debate counterchronologically created vampires.

2. They control the minds of their mass of followers into voting bush, that's why he won, they are in league with the illuminati

3. He had nuclear vampires, no chemical ones.

why are vampires so well dressed ?

Zombies are like, my all-time worst fear, guy.

Lol...I still remember the "fun" I had in the old days of Resident Evil. *shivvers in fear*

why are vampires so well dressed ?


I just realized how much of a geek I am, because your post sent my brain into a twelve-page explanation out of Vampire: The Masquerade.

i think they take the money of rich victims and put it in their (ready for some cornyness?) blood bank.

HA! ok not as funny as it sounded in my head

Well according to Bram Stokers Dracula, it is not known how vampires were created as Dracula does not tell us how he turned into this state.

The reader is left to make some presumptions, like the once nobal Dracula made a pact with the devil, or had great loss in his life and wanted revenge on the world. Vampires being formed from Dracula's bite, I suppose would be classed more under evolution that gods creation :p.

Yay for A-level English.

Oddly enough, there is a genetic disorder that requires certain people to ingest human blood. It is often paired with hypersensitivity to sunlight, and , in some cases, slightly elongated canines.I've heard this from several sources, but I've yet to actually see someone who suffers from the disorder (photographed or otherwise)

What's funny is that I know what you're talking about.

All legends are based on truth....

It'd be interesting to see a documentation of this. Url anyone?

I wish I knew the name of the disorder. I'd gladly look up a few sources.

Sometimes I wonder if maybe some things aren't in the public eye for a reason. This leaves me either enlighted or gullible, please don't comment.

That leaves me wondering about government conspiracies and such. Thanks alot. ;P

Lol Angry Fruit Salad, and Ghannas Desh - Vampire geeks rule!

I've heard of Porphyria ( affects about 500,000 Americans, don't know the world wide figures )

Clinical Vampirism

There are a number of scientifically recognised and accepted medical conditions that have great similarities with classic
physical manifestations of the "vampire".

Most of the following (excepting XP and HED) come under the general medical grouping of Porphyria,
all of which are relatively rare genetic disorders:

Xeroderma Pigmentosa (XP)
Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia (HED)
Acute Intermittent Porphyria (AIP)
Variegate Porphyria (VP)
Hereditary Coproporphyria (HC)
Plumbopophyria (PP)
Porphyria Cutanea Tarda (PCT)
Erythropoietic Protoporphyria (EPP)
Congenital Porphyria (CP)

One of the greatest commonalities regarding symptoms includes not simply acute photosensitivity, but severe skin damage caused by prolonged exposure to Ultra-Violet light, whether it be from sunlight, halogen lights, or even types of fluourescent lighting.

Many of the above genetic conditions also feature additional symptoms. Anaemia is a common denominator, and another possible symptom is the receding of the gums (making the canine teeth appear more like fangs). Also small sores, closely resembling puncture marks, can form upon the skin. Varieties where discolouring occurs can also be apparent, including a pronounced darkness about the eyes, and dark red staining all about the mouth. Certain physical peculiarities, especially in the facial area, can also occur (I refuse to use the word "deformities" here).

Some of these genetic conditions can be diagnosed either at birth or at an otherwise very young age, as like with muscular dystrophy. Others can take years, even decades, before the relevant symptoms become apparent, as like with multiple sclerosis. Many sufferers of the above conditions have a thousand fold increase likelihood of developing specific cancers, especially in the organ of the skin, such as melanoma variants. Some of the above conditions are even terminal, the body being unable to repair tissue damage caused by the condition.

I would like to hesitatingly suggest that anyone who suffers from one of the porphyria conditions, or even XD or HED, but remains undiagnosed (especially one of the varieties that only develop in the onset of adult life) may find themselves in a confused state as to their condition. As the physical disorder worsens, and "vampire-like" symptoms develop, it is not unimaginable that such a person may begin to associate themselves personally more and more with the cultural symbol of the "vampire".

yay! we have info now!

I've heard of that before. Wonder why it didn't cross my mind?

I saw an advert in a [weird] shop I sometimes go in asking to really interview a vampire... I'd like to see if the guy found anyone, especially if they had one of these conditions and weren't just a lunatic.

There have been some really bad vampire movies, and some quite good ones.
I liked Blade and Blade 2, but found Blade Trinity a bit disappointing.
John Carpenter's The Vampires was terrible.
The one with Kiefer Sutherland whose name escapes me wasn't bad.
Buffy the film, yes! Buffy the show, no!
I haven't seen Bram Stoker's Dracula (Gary Oldman, Keanu Reeves, etc.).
Vampires are fun in Shadowrun (anyone else heard of Shadowrun?).
Van Helsing was one of the worst films of all time.
That's my random spew of opinion dried up for now.
