I’m sure we all clearly remember the scene in Twilight when Bella is beginning to get suspicious that there’s something “special” about Edward and goes home to furiously type things into Google. The camera views of what she pulls up are succinct, yet clear enough to give us the understanding that Bella has come across some Quielette legends stating something about “The Cold One” and how this cold one is a vampire. But,what is The Cold One? Is there actually a vampire known as this?
Well, the closest thing to any vampire legend that would bear any similarity to the legend of The Cold One would be the Apotamkin. This creature is unlike most other vampire folklore because it’s exclusive to the Native American people. The Apotamkin was a bona fide vampire however, with all the abilities and super strengths of other vampires that we know. It was believed among Native Americans that the Apotamkin would feast on the blood of any animal or human. And it got its name just the way you would expect – Apotamkins were very cold to the touch, mostly because they were dead bodies.
However, it’s been said that the Native American never really believed in the Apotamkin and that it was a cautionary tale told to children. This was used especially when warning children about wandering off by themselves with no supervision.
And, as for Twilight, Stephenie Meyer has said that in regards to her version and her version alone, she had no similarities in mind when writing the book. She simply needed to create random bits of Edward’s character and piece them together, cryptically, with mythical vampire folklore. Clever, though, how perhaps even without knowing it, Meyer has combined her own imagination of the Quileutte legend, with actual Native American vampire folklore!
All vampire myths originate either from a religious background, disease or plain superstition. Some religions (mostly christian) state that you would be cursed with vampirism if you reject the church. Disease such as TB and rabies also spurred the myths. People with advanced TB will cough up blood leading to physician thinking that they drank blood. Rabies causes extreme thurst and physicians suggested that drinking human blood would cure you. Superstition played the biggest part. Vampires were created to scare people and keep them from having premarital sex ( as the babie of a woman who had premarital sex would turn into a vampire) or comitting suicide would cause you to become a vampire. IT DOES NOT, so dont try it. I dont believe that vampires ever existed in the manner that we think. Not like the movies we see. I do believe that there may have been some very sick people who drank blood because they believed that you obtain power from it. Drinking blood from a willing doner is probably ok I guess, but I dont believe drinking blood does anything physically or mentally.
but all the nutrients travell in the blood stream.
and those nutrients that travel in the blood steam comes from…. FOOD. All diseases also travel in the blood stream. So if you would like to test every person for AIDS and every other diseas before drinking their blood go ahead. or you could just drink it and hope you dont get it and spread it.
yeah I agree
can you give information that dose not com fom the movie!! is it real!! or is it made up !!we need to now every thing i loook for 4 vimpiers is all baced on the movie!!

are you serious?i dnt thnk sooooooo………………………real ?
Don Henrie. Google him.
the idea that humans drink blood is real. the actual vampire tale is not. there’s a huge difference between the man that loved blood and actually drank humans or (sometimes) ate them, and the undead men that burn in the sun and are fragile to the Cross.
yer vampire bats
I too believe so
