"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.

Funny detail: "Schreck" is the German word for "terror"

Interesting note: Nosferatu seems to be the origin of the idea that Vampires are killed by sunlight.

Schrek was so method he’d actually turn transparent in his trailer.

This film survives despite a court order to destroy all copies.
