"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.

Depends on the myth. Silver "worked" because it was considered mystically pure.

You know, despite tarnishing when you look at it funny.

Didn't use to before mass coal burning etc. released shittons of hydrogen sulfide into the atmosphere, so appropriate to the era.
