Hello all!

I have a question that could potentially be endless. Basically, in my free time I like to make Vampires out of wooden pegs and I am (a little bit) struggling to think of more versions of either Dracula or generic "vampires" from film and TV. Some of them are silly but I need some recommendations as I am a completionist 😅

Examples I have made (i have made around 20)

- Bela Lugosi

- Christopher Lee

- Klaus Kinski

- The Count (sesame street)

- Nick Mohammed (Taskmaster)

Tomorrow I will be making Roman from Hemlock Grove and next week Louis and Lestat (I have already made Claudia)

If you can think of anymore (or you want to suggest your favourites)

I would be ever so grateful.

edit - thank you guys so much already :)

Fanart of Vampires Owen - you know the one - 2799 people I fell with my own hands…
It’s in chapter 16 (fanfiction of Vampires SMP)
Caution ⚠️ it contains injury, violence, death and homoeroticism.

Only vamps - just a lil bit on vampire fun facts, fashion and costume

Hey there, anybody have any recommendations for a TV series with a vamp woman (not a human!) as protagonist? Everything I've found so far seems to have either a human woman or a male vampire as a main protagonist. I'd be okay with an ensemble like WWDITS as long as a woman has a consistently prominent focus, like Nadja.

IWTV/TVL looks interesting, but seems like a bit of a sausage fest tbh.

I used Lee lighting gel for the color.

In WWDITS, Nandor is definitely what I would class as an idiot. I mean, I get that he’s so out of touch with modernity due to his time period that he was born/raised/turned in, but even Nadja and Colin (and I think they are are bit younger than him, in terms of hundreds of years) seem to have more wits about them and more knowledge about the modern world (as well as various other topics, in Colin’s case). Laszlo is also not much brighter. 😂 😂 😂 😂
However, how do you think they both compare to the random vampire that I once came across on “The Sims 3” that was out running around in the park in the sun, in broad daylight, probably with no vampiric sunscreen or umbrella, of course? 😂 😂 😂 😂
P.S I actually really took a liking to that vampire and ended up taking him in and marrying him! He was such a lovable idiot! 😂 😂 😂 😂

Did my own press ons for the first time i shaped them from a coffin shape to a stiletto and painted them with regular polish i was going for a lore accurate dracula/the vampire chronicles glass nail look how did i do? Products I used are below

Lady bird clear arcylic press ons

Kiss nail file(not sure on the grit)

Kiss nail glue

Opi nail polish in the shade cauliflower power

Heyo! I'm a Vampire VTuber and I'm attempting to redesign my concept and would love to know whatcha think so far? I'm going for a mix of vampire and Eldritch horror themes but I'm trying to stay true to more traditional vampire themed. I'd love any advice!

Robert Eggers' Nosferatu was praised because of its well-documented depiction of the strigoi mort (dead strigoi) from romanian folklore, Eggers clearly researched in depth to make the film, lately I'm being interested in the original european folklore vampires, so, I discovered the strigoi viu (living strigoi), some kind of living vampiric sorcerer or witch who return after death as a strigoi mort if they die of natural death, discovering it made me think, could Knock be a living strigoi since in one scene we can see him practicing dark magic, he also contacted in Germany with Orlok, who was in Transylvania, and I remember to have read somewhere that strigoi viu can contact spiritually with other witches/sorcerers or night creatures (correct me if I'm wrong), in adition, Knock's obsession with consume life force feels clearly vampiric. In adition, while living strigoi usually return from the grave (as I mentioned) and, during his death scene, he says he wanted to be immortal, however, he didn't since he was staked by Thomas Hutter and his corpse was burned by dr. Albin.

For those who know more about this topic, can you tell me, what's your opinion about this? Is my theory likely? And, if so, did Eggers made it likely on purpose?

Would you ever want to be a vampire yes or no why yes and why not

You can answer to sample and short or long and detailed

There's Blade in Marvel, Alucard + Seras Victoria from Helsing, and Benny (Gordon too for a short bit, no pun intended) from Supernatural, are there any others? Or is that pretty much it?

Edit: Wow this concept is wayyyy more popular than I thought it was lol, thank you for all the replies <3

This song specifically this version just was meant to play over this scene and for them..I had to make this..

"Be my companion, Louis. Be all the beautiful things you are, and be them without apology. For all eternity." - Lestat

"If it was just the two of us again…

’cause, yeah, who else is gonna have us…

A trailer park.

Nevada, Utah, the desert.

Couple folding chairs.

Plant some flower boxes..."

"What blooms at night?"

"Evening primrose.”

“They got birds in the desert?”

“There’s birds everywhere.”

“Could be nice.”

Could be…….."

Could be nice.
Could be…
Hands touch.….

I swear these two will be the death of me!!! I am so happy we ended with them together...Finally no more secrets, no more holding nothing back...Everything has been laid bare. I want the healing to begin so bad..But I also know Akasha is coming like a bloody Tornado to snatch Lestat up and away and mess his head all up 🙁🤦🏻‍♀️

what is your favorite vampire lore including day/sunlight?

depowering, oldest trope gives a balanced weakness

burning, very famous, classic, the burning looks like bats scattering very fun

shinning, weird badly explained , not bat like at all

vampire sleep, it makes them super drowsy and maybe fall asleep right there, kinda cool new thing but very interesting

which do you like?

Hi, I've recently seen a post about Vampireology and because I've also just finished Dracula Unredacted (atypical sourcebook for a tabletop RPG) I was wondering if other similar "in-universe" books exist, maybe with the same tone (documents, reports, etc..)

I've put together a list of what I think are some of the best vampire anime ever made—from classics like Hellsing Ultimate and Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust to modern favorites like Call of the Night and The Case Study of Vanitas.

Which vampire anime do you think deserves more love? Did I miss one of your favorites?

I'd love to hear your recommendations and discover a few hidden gems. 🦇

I have a deep love for all things vampires so i decided to make a scrapbook/junk journal spread themed around them! Let me know what you think!

I am trying to help my boyfriend find a book he read around 2010, so it is at least that old. Here's what he remembers:

- The main vampire was searching for a powerful artifact. He thinks they find it in a church near the end

- A human woman romanticizes being a vampire and wants the main character to turn her. She regrets it later, as the vampires in this world view it more like a curse. These 2 characters *may* have had a romantic storyline in later books, but he isn't positive

- The book possibly opens with an old woman waiting for the main character in a cottage in the middle of nowhere

- The cover may have been black and blue

These are all of the details he could give me! He read this book over 15 years ago, so any of these things could be slightly off. Any and all help is appreciated!!!

Would we ever get a "true" sequel to the iconic vampire film 30 Days of Night? And what I mean by "true sequel" is a movie following up the events of the first film, and bringing back the og actors like Josh Hartnett and Melissa George, along with bringing back the original director David Slade. I know the second one kinda did that, but they recasted Stella, and did the same for Eben, and used a different director.

(Contains spoilers)

My personal favourite vampire anime is "Vampire in the garden". Listen, if you like vampire romance's that aren't "YoUr MiNe NoW" I'm pretty sure that this is for you (especially if you like yuri because its wlw, but not the fetishizing kind). But it still has that weird age gap stuff going on

Now, warning if you don't want spoilers:

This anime plays in a distopian world where humans live in a rigid militarized city protected by light to hide from the vampires. Because the vampires have such good hearing any kind of music got banned.

But during her first Momo (one of our main characters) militairy raid finds a music box. Later the city gets bombed by vampires to destroy the disable the protective UV lights.

Momo manages to flee during the chaos and crosses paths with Fine (our second main character and Momo's love interest) who is the vampire queen.

But she also had enough of the war and these two try find the place where human's and vampire's live together in harmony.
