Vampires really aren't that scary

When you think about it, a vampires' main source of nutritional value is blood, and perhaps a little dead flesh. Blood may be rich in iron, but it certainly isn't a well rounded meal.

So I realised, most vampires must have really weak sperm and really weak bones. They obviously can't reproduce very well, and they obviously can't chase their victims very far without having to worry about broken bones, especially knees.

Kinda makes you think, there's no reason to fear vampires, they seem like pussies when you really think about it. They're like 400 year old versions of serial killers, but if they creeped you out that much, you could always just run away and their brittle old knees wouldn't be able to keep up.

I'd be much more afraid of undead monsters like zombies or Dr. Frankenstein's creature. Brain matter has a lot of nutritional value in it, protein, especially compared to old blood...

You are forgetting that vampires are a mystical creature, which makes them super-humanly strong

But also susceptible to Holy water, unable to cross rivers, or enter a home uninvited...

 

I thought so too, until I actually encountered one in a small town in the most unsuspecting of places. Turns out this guy seemed legit, also turns out this town had a really great dentist.

I don't know about that my friend, I ran into one on the street, I've never had one come into my home.

 

This thread sucks.

HA! the wit

 

you really nailed that one

 

Unfair ! My namesake's creation was - if you ignore the films and go back to the source, Mary Shelley's original novel - actually pretty intelligent, articulate and compassionate. More so than the majority of humans it encountered.

hugging someone to death isnt cool Mr Frankenstein...... We know you mean well though..:love:

 

Don't suck all the fun out of it. This thread has a lot of bloody potential. What else do we have have at stake?

 

Right, the creature was all of those things. Just saying, it was super human strong and pissed off because of the way it had been treated. A lot more scary than a weak ass malnourished vampire.

 

Ah Luna Buddy, I think you're letting Twilight spoil you on the vampire mythos.

Blood drinking 'demons' are among the oldest mythical beasts. They can be immortal beings with superhuman beasts and only die by starvation of blood of the living. They can also be beautiful vixens who lure their prey in and than dine on them.

Vampires in mythology aren't immune to crucifixes, sunlight, or holy water.

Vampires were pretty sweet mythological beasts til Anne Rice came along.

 

Hell no! I'm definitely not a Twilight person, though I've never actually seen any of the movies. Teenagers with wussy feelings are not vampires.

These are vampires...

The one I encountered was a really tall guy with long black hair wearing a long black trenchcoat. A friend and I were hanging out in a graveyard one night around midnight. As we were leaving, walking up the street towards my place we crossed this guy on the sidewalk, and he was headed into the cemetery! His eyes sparkled and he had shiny teeth.

Vampires were originally depicted quite differently than they are today. Originally they were bloated, hairless, with greenish-grey skin. They had no fangs, no claws, they weren't charming. They were more like a bloated, lobotomized corpse.

 

Nosferatu, that's a classic.

But I still think you encountered a goth, and not a vampire. :biggrin:

Vampire mythology is hard to agree on, but you could say blood sucking beasts like sexy Lilith from the bible were vampires. All through the 1700's there were crazy vampire hunts though Europe.

I don't think the word vampire was used until the 19th century.

 

:2thumbsup:

Yea, probably. But I'd rather believe, it's more fun

I'd love to go on a vampire hunt, sounds like fun. Except, back then they were probably paranoid, and half crazy from all the weird diseases that were floating around. If you got up to take a piss after midnight they'd probably lynch ya.

I didn't know, so I had to check;

 

Going on a Vampire hunt does sound sweet.

I'm in.

 

There are people out there that truly believe their vampires...like one kid somewhere out west who killed his girlfriend's parents and drank their blood because he thought he was a vampire and had a Charles Manson cult following him on it.

I wouldn't mind being friends with a vampire...especially if they were like the characters in Anne Rice

 

I wouldn't mind being friends with benefits with this vampire...

 

vampires are the walking dead. i don't think they need to take their vitamins, speaking concurrently.

 

looks like a goth version of the hofs new chick.

 

Listen here.... you find a real vampire, before you stake him, you drag his ass up here...

Any idea that a creature that is nourished from human blood being weak, presumes they wouldn't be able to feed much...

Based on stupidity alone (judged by me of course) I could feed extremely well for eons...

I'll start with the cons... then come help out our southern friends and get the republicans... and whatever donald trump is... lol

 

Malia my love, if you're ever looking for someone to bite your neck look me up. I go by Lodferatu in Texas.
