"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.

A downside I never really thought of... is it more like a severe peanut allergy or like some sort of lactose intolerance?

i think the most "realistic" thing would be for vampires to just have much stronger sense of smell and thus garlic is like a punch to the face

so really vampires would just need way less garlic in their garlic bread, so much money saved!

I think it's just repulsive to them, but not harmful.
