"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.

Most vampires are perfectly capable of breaking and entering. It's a pretty rare weakness for a vampire to require permission to enter a house, and in any case, it's psychosomatic, as in, nothing bad happens to the vampire if they break the rule, and anybody who the vampire ๐Ÿง›โ€โ™€๏ธ believes to be able to grant permission can do so.

However, breaking and entering in order to suck blood does endanger the Masquerade somewhat. So the local prince might chose to ban the practice, or at least require the use of tools that don't leave visible traces. No kicking down the door, use a lockpick instead.

Ever see "Let the Right One In"? Best example I e seen of what happens to a vamp that comes in uninvited.
