Vampires are crap.

Is there anything that can't be used to defeat a vampire?

Sunlight, garlic, crosses, holy water, stakes, fire, cutting off their heads (also works on those living statue people), and blessed bullets.

And they only enter houses after being invited in, don't have reflections, and if you're being chased you can drop some salt and they have to stop and count the grains. Hmm

Surely the most rubbish of all the monsters.

YABU. Vampires are cool and sexy.

Vampires are crap.
TerrorWig · 06/05/2020 22:07

OMG.

I just realised. I will also die if you cut off my head OR hammer a stake through my heart. Am I a vampire????!!!!

Ummmm how do you feel about swapping half way through the night . . . . .

Hands off dark hes mine.

I have a bit of a thing for vampires Blush

ZetaPuppis · 06/05/2020 22:10

I didn’t know about the salt grains. That’s hilarious Grin
Klaus is the sexiest vampire ever, but you’re right. It’s easy to avoid them. Just don’t go out in the dark, or wear a cross and carry garlic if you do, and don’t invite them in. Easy.
Except when they compel you.

PrincessConsueIaBananaHammock · 06/05/2020 22:10

Don't we all Sarah , don't we all?Grin

CheshireChat · 06/05/2020 22:15

Neah, depends on the story- I actually liked Pratchett's vampires as they were a good blend of silly and powerful.

Favourite vampires are the ones in Vampire the Masquerade though and they're definitely not weaklings.

Testarossa44 · 06/05/2020 22:23

The best vampires are in The Lost Boys, with Kiefer Sutherland, none of that twinkly twilight twaddly! Grin

DamnYankee · 06/05/2020 22:25

Love Morticia Addams. Wish I could rock the slinky black dress.

ButterbuttSquash · 06/05/2020 22:27

This is why ‘what we do in the shadows’ exists and is everything!!! Film and series. (If it’s been mentioned already I stand with those people.)

“A typical vampire” has left me in fucking stitches.

There is literally not a single way you completely kill a vampire that wouldn’t completely kill a person.

Clevererthanyou · 06/05/2020 22:30

I initially voted YANBU and then remembered the vamps from 30 Days of Night ... fucking lethal them fuckers.

Fluffybutter · 06/05/2020 22:31

The only decent vampires are Lost boys vampires .
Twilight is utter shit

Fluffybutter · 06/05/2020 22:32

@Clevererthanyou oh fucking hell, yeah! Terrifying

Thingsthatgo · 06/05/2020 22:39

I watch Lost Boys as a young teenager and I was forever changed! Sleep all day, party all night...

I like to shout 'bat' in difficult situations, but it never works.

Moonflower12 · 06/05/2020 22:51

@Fluffybutter
@Thingsthatgo

Yesssss! The best vampires....

AndMyHairWillShineLikeTheSea · 06/05/2020 22:52

@AlCalavicci I wouldn't be finished with him yet, sorry

Margotshypotheticaldog · 06/05/2020 22:56

30 days of night, not sexy, just utterly terrifying!
You distracted me and now I've forgotten what I was going to say....

Margotshypotheticaldog · 06/05/2020 22:59

Oh yes, you don't try any of those things that may kill the vampire because they hypnotise and enslave you. And then you just want to do their bidding. Which most often involves not killing them...
30 days etc though, they really took the sex appeal out of the equation 😲

LetsGoFlyAKiteee · 06/05/2020 23:00

Hal and Mitchell from Being Human can stay.. plus sunlight no issue!

Coldemort · 06/05/2020 23:04

Where vampires afraid of crosses before the crucifixion 🤔

AgentCooper · 06/05/2020 23:08

Did you see Dracula on the BBC at Christmas though? Claes Bang. Fuck’s sake. He’d get it.

Rhodri · 06/05/2020 23:08

I don’t understand why moonlight doesn’t kill them. After all it’s reflected sunlight!
