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.

I think that you will find that salt grain counting is for evil fairies

Spike and Damon in the same thread? I have found my people Grin

ScarfLadysBag · 06/05/2020 23:11

Damon Salvatore, Angel and Spike, the unholy trinity 😍

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

Do you understand why you don't get a suntan when the moon is out? Grin

ZetaPuppis · 06/05/2020 23:14

Sorry @ScarfLadysBag.
You’ll find it’s Klaus, Elijah and Eric.
More intensity in this trio

BreastedBoobilyToTheStairs · 06/05/2020 23:15

Damon Salvatore, Angel and Spike, the unholy trinity

With Eric Northman as a guest star.

MissConductUS · 06/05/2020 23:15

My authoritative source on Vampires is the television show Supernatural, which states that the only reliable way to kill a vampire is to behead it.

FliesandPies · 06/05/2020 23:15

Sexy Vampires - Phwoorr!!

ScarfLadysBag · 06/05/2020 23:16

Oh god how could I forget Eric?!

LaChatte · 06/05/2020 23:20

Eric
Damon
Klaus

HPandTheNeverEndingBedtime · 06/05/2020 23:24

Eric Northman - (True blood) is the hottest, viking and vamp, preferably during the amnesia phase.

MorganKitten · 06/05/2020 23:29

Vampirella was awesome, I was a comic book nerd and loved her

PerditaProvokesEnmity · 06/05/2020 23:31

Just finished I Am Legend (the novel). The cross thing is a bit culturally specific and probably only works on Christian vampires ...

Also, the reason they're appealing is that successful vampires have to be gorgeous enough to charm Buffy potential slayers into not staking them.

Most importantly, vampire hunting is an extremely well paid career that enables one to live in a beautiful modernist house with fantastically expensive furniture. I know this from Ultraviolet. In these times of financial uncertainty they provide a vital service to lovers of picturesque lifestyles.

Well with their attractiveness, their mind control abilities, their lightning speed, superhuman strength, heightened sense of smell, ability to fly and their ability to shape shift, they need some weaknesses to give humans a chance.

Thelnebriati · 06/05/2020 23:42

@TerrorWig
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????!!!!

What you have to do is bite someone then throw holy water at them. If they sizzle, you are a vampire.

Have you seen Tom Cruise in An Interview with a Vampire - he was bear impossible to kill off?!

BinkySodPlop · 07/05/2020 00:17

Someone should've tried harder to do away with Tom's wig in Interview.... V bad.

MissConductUS · 07/05/2020 00:39

I have loathed Tom Cruise with a passion since the incident in 2005 when he castigated Brooke Shields for seeking treatment for her postpartum depression. A pox on him and all of his houses. Ignorant Arse.

StuffYouAllInTheCrust · 07/05/2020 00:56

I’m sorry but if Edward Cullen came to my house I’m definitely inviting him in...

Thepigeonsarecoming · 07/05/2020 01:04

@amicissimma

I've kinda gone off bats of any sort lately

Oh this made me laugh. I feel your post was under appreciated!! 😂😂

Too many private parts tingling at the thought of sexy vampires! Maybe that’s one of the vampires secret weapons though (ova hidden in cartoons), a clitomonitor...

Thepigeonsarecoming · 07/05/2020 01:05

Obs, not ova 🤦‍♀️

AwrightDoreenTakeAFuckinDayOff · 07/05/2020 01:08

G’wan. You know you all want a shot on Petyr. But me first eh? Grin

Vampires are crap.
DisgraceToTheYChromosome · 07/05/2020 01:08

The vamps in Being Human were pretty tough: daywalkers who weren't obligate cannibals.
Stross's vampires are quite tragic, infested with necromantic parasites and racked by guilt.

JustIgnoreTheMoanyCow · 07/05/2020 01:12

You can all have your vampires. I'll have the Goblin King!
