Fun Fact: in 1922's "Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens" (Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror) Max Schrek plays the vampire Count Orlok. Orlok is eventually killed by sunlight. So? So nothing in legend or literature up to that point said that sunlight killed vampires. They were weaker during the day, but that was all. So every vampire you see on screen getting set on fire or exploding from sunlight or UV is because of that one film
Didn't they cover that in the 92 Dracula? Haven't seen in forever, or maybe confusing with another movie. I seem to remember a vampire bursting out a crate and the narration saying they were weaker during the day.
I have the little vampire fangs. No matter the arrangement, cos they aren't scary. And when they hunch over and start hissing at each other, it's not intimidating. It's fucking hilarious and I can't take it seriously. I want a vampire that will rip out your throat. Not nipple at it then spill 90% of their drink while they sip away.
movies and shows that don't do the vamp teeth on the CANINES ARE COMMITING A CRIME- oh, no one else cares..?...I'm still talking..?....I'm getting worked up about fictional things again like I always do..? and I'm repeating everything you're saying to me into the comme-
Honestly, for a blood drinking species view point, the most effective would likely be Nosferatu. Makes one large puncture right in the centre of the mouth. So it would have the best flow and mouth fit. So for feeding it would likely be the most effective feeder.
Fun fact: The original literary vampire story, John Polidori's The Vampyre, Lord Ruthven didn't bite anyone but used a ritual knife - the actual fangs came in with the serialized Varney The Vampire in 1845
Also, apparently the concept for the original fang idea was more natural in having both top and bottom fangs which would meet to form the 2 puncture wounds. The vampire then would have bit down with only the left or right side fangs at a time. But it wasn't described well enough in "Varney". Later authors mistook the "2 puncture wound" concept, and gave their vampires only 2 elongated teeth rather than the ideal 4.
The original concept came from the appearance of exhumed corpses believed to be vampires. As the body dehydrated the gums and cuticles would shrink and recess giving the appearance of fangs and claws.
That was only the crybaby one, the actual ones either cut with a knife or just tear out a chunk. In my defense I read that book before I knew how bad it was. I like vampire mythos.
First off, dont bother. The book was worse than the movie. The female lead is a generic plane character designed to put the reader in her place. Because of this the character has no qualities at all other than being the story teller/victim of the story. Otherwise it is a Romeo/Juliet story with Vampires. Author really missed the back story for her vamps to been the source of the Greek and Roman gods. Their physical powers and supernatural ones are 100% fitting if she were not a hack.
If you like VtM, I just finished the DC series Scarlett written by Tom Joyner and Keith Wilson. Reads very much like VtM. Secretive clans, multiple factions battling for supremacy, prophecies, bloody rituals, magical items, all that stuff.
I attended a VtM LARP in the 90s. One of the few things I remember is the Malkavian in spandex dancing around. And that everyone took it WAY too seriously.
I am a TTRPG player, I can't be held accountable for what LARPers do. :D That said, it is a game that is best when taken seriously, being about the foibles of mankind and all that. Then you laugh at the Malkavian.
The true blood vampire fangs make me irrationally mad. some flavor of elongated canines first choice, then just fucked up Nosferatu or supernatural teeth for 2.
Season 1 had a mood that could have kept it away from the campy path, but they went down that road heavily and burned every fucking bridge on the way to soap opera town.
Yep. Stick with the templates found in nature. Canines make the most sense for primates, Nosferatu's vampire bat-inspired look works too, and if you want to get freaky go full shark mode. But the lateral incisors are just weird
it's so they dont have to loose the stupid "sexy" open mouth thing they always do to show off the teeth without making the actors open their mouths that much...I hate it so fucking much and I am SO glad someone else's pointed it out xD
Okay, I can't argue that. Elijah was an amazing character. And Klaus... I have the gayest straight crush on him. I cannot remember the actors name off the top of my head, but he played that character so damn good. As did Elijah's actor.
Buffy ran from 1997 to 2003, 7 seasons. Angel ran from 1999 to 2004, 5 seasons. It lasted one year after, but did not last longer. Don't forget Angel was a Buffy character for the first 3 seasons before he left the show.
Same boat. I was really into the first season, but kinda lost interest in season 2. The book trilogy suffered similarly. Great start, but kinda weak by the third book.
I believe that's called an Englishman, be careful they can be rather dangerous, best to pacify them with some bland food and an episode of some television show made on a budget of twelve pence.
I saw Fright Night when I was 10 and thought it was a comedy. I don’t remember much of the movie anymore but I remember laughing through most of it. I was a weird kid.
Worked on the VFX. when we showed the shot of the person getting sliced in half to the director for the first time, he cackled and said "more sausages!"
Y'know the thing about Shark Vampires, it's got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When it comes at ya, doesn't seem to be livin'...until he bites ya. And those eyes roll over white, and then... oh, then you hear that terrible high pitch screamin', and the ground turns red, and spite of all the poundin' and the hollerin', they all come in and they...rip you to pieces.

Yes, Nosferatu's were based on vampire bats, so a very good choice IMO. And just elongating the natural canines also works.
