Bloodless Vampires

[Night Templar]

Vampires. We all know about the legend of vampires and their infamous, insatiable thirst for blood. Let’s put a little twist in the legend, for conversation’s sake. What do you think of vampire who does not drink blood?

According to Paranormala.com, there is actually a greek version of the vampire called the vrykolakas, which is a word that is infact derived from the slavic term meaning fur or werewolf. It was once common belief that the werewolf could become a vampire after being killed and it did not necessarily drink blood. The blood reference seems to have come into play because of the reddish color of the werewolf-turned-vampire’s skin and the fact that he was enriched with“new blood”.

Other vampires in history were known to kill their victims in other ways, such as sitting on their chest, spreading disease, or simply acting like a menacing poltergeist, but it seems that history has stretched the imagination of the story tellers adding a bit more blood and gore to the legend.

Well that is sure going to make for a lot of remakes of old horror movie plots but as long as ant movie has sex and violence beyond acceptable limits, what will it matter if some education gets in the way? I found the post most interesting. Thanks.
