The Hive Concept applies to vampires in some cases, as far as my dedicated research into theatrical examples goes. Surely, a few of you have seen The Forsaken, circa 2001. This movie’s vampire traditions were that if you killed the lead vampire, then the curse would vanish in all of his progeny. This is the …
Well, it’s a half vampire, half human hybrid of course, Blade taught us that. But this idea didn’t come from the entertainment world. The idea of a vampire/human mix comes straight from age-old vampire lore, Gypsy lore to be exact. Dhampir is the name the Slavonic Gypsies came up with to call the child of …

It’s so reassuring to me that in legends, vampires cannot enter your home unless you invite them! That makes them almost safer than humans! Humans who bear you ill will can smash in through a window, charge through your wall with a chainsaw, and such. Vampires can’t touch you if you’re safe and cozy inside. …

The Story… or at Least… Some of It Each clan has its own history; there are thousands of pages of literature on V:tM and there’s no way to tell its complete history in a paragraph.

Reading Twilight has really done a lot for my interest in vampire culture. One of the things I found most interesting was that vampires sometimes have rules and laws that they must live by. It makes sense that those who have such incredible power and can destroy with a flick of their fingers should have …
If you’re sick of an all liquid diet, maybe now’s the time to start taking more of an interest in gourmet cooking.

1. Decide what kind of eating habits you’re going to have; will you be drinking human blood or animal blood? Hey you won’t find any judgment here, but honestly, if you plan to drink human blood, start with all the really unnecessary people, like meter maids, IRS agents, and insurance salesmen. 2. Invest; you’re going …

Before we even get into the whole vampire costume craze, I’d like to knock down some of the crap you expect to find here. First off, I’m not here to post a massive list of post-adolescent silicone Barbies dressed in skin-tight, barely there costumes. Vampires typically wear a little more than lingerie; they need to, …
Today’s post is about fang implants, not those plastic fangs you pop into your mouth during Halloween, but actual permanent fangs put in by a dentist. Most people that dish out the cash for this incredibly expensive procedure don’t do it to be cool (most, not all). It’s usually a real vampire, like a Sanguinarian …
