Let's draw our swords in unity and charge forward! Our immortal nemesis, it who never stops, needs to be slain!
First, I need to feed Mr Pringle. He gets so uptight at times that he wants to SCREAM. But I'm sure that he won't scream if you stay exactly where you are. That's right isn't it, Mr Pringle.aBlackKnight said:the enemy of my enemy is my friend!The_root_of_all_evil said:Anyway, Malkavians are better.

Traditionally silver was considered a "pure" metal, so it repelled ALL denizens of the night. Same with mirrors. But they weren't allergic to it or some nonsense. It just reminded them they were monsters and spooked them off.PureChaos said:
Why silver should be any purer than gold I don't know, except that it might have been easier for your average terrified Slavic peasant to get a hold of something silver than something gold. And a lot of our modern monster stuff comes out of their region of the world for whatever reasons, so their loopiness remains in tact.
What? There's bats at the window all the time feeding on Lucy, the Count flies off towards London at one point (though whether that's in Bat form or not escapes me at the moment). He matches almost exactly most modern views of vampires (before anyone points out that crucifixes don't work, note that Hellsings crucifix - the real hellsing not the crappy one with Frankensteins Monster - was silver so it's entirely possible that a crucifix is a problem)tomdavi said:
By holding Harker at his house for a full month before feeding? I'm wondering if you didn't just watch the movie - a lot of these things sound like that. Anyway I don't mean to rag.tomdavi said:
Dracula can't enter buildings without permission, and stays in the night quite often (though again it escapes me whether he can step into the light or not). The fact that you did it for English once probably indicates why your memory is vague. myself, I recently picked up the Leslie & Klinger edition of Stoker's fable, which is an excellent read for all the annotations and notes made.tomdavi said:
Edit: Yes dracula is one of my favourites, though I'm a big fan of Lestat and whatsisface in Interview
I don't really know much about Anne Rice vampires. I do know that when Twilight was written the author didn't research any vampire mythology.
My favorite vampire franchise is Hellsing though. I like how vampires are presented in that. Plus, if you go by Bram Stoker, these vampires are much more classical. Even to the point that Integra says "consult Bram Stoker". They can go out in sunlight and you can kill them with a sword through the heart. Plus I like it when magic is combined with science. Like Millenium's artificial vampires.

Nosferatu, fo sho (although I really have to agree with Mr. Necroswanson when it comes down to it)The_root_of_all_evil said:*twitch* Saying that is like asking a roleplayer if D&D is anything like the cartoon.jim_doki said:

hay I don't ride band wagons, I stick to what I like regardless of its popularity and I've always thought vampires were kind of stupid even before they were popular. Im more into villains with some ideological reasoning other than "must suck blood"broadband said:
