"Few creatures of the night have captured our imagination like vampires.
What explains our enduring fascination with vampires? Is it the overtones of sexual lust, power, control? Or is it a fascination with the immortality of the undead?"

Feel free to post any vampire-related content here. I'll be posting various vampire media I enjoy just as a way of kickstarting this community but don't let that stop you from posting something else. I just wanted a place to discuss vampire movies, books, games, etc.

Vampires don't live in castles, Count Dracula lived in a castle because he was a count, not because he was a vampire.

this feels like a sensitivity training for how to not commit micro aggressions against vampires in your workplace

All of the castles were bought centuries ago! Even if you could buy one now you can't be sure that the real owner wasn't just sleeping for a few decades. They might pop out and eat your face. It's just not workable in this economy!

Any respectable vampire needs to own a castle but I'm smart so I'm waiting for the market to crash. My sire lets me rent a cell in the dungeon, so I'm not like you castleless vermin. I'm working hard, I'm scrubbing blood off the floors, I'm making sure the cobwebs are pristine. It's only been 50 years but eventually I'll be able to afford a room in the tower!
