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.

@JustIgnoreTheMoanyCow I like the hobbit, enjoy your Goblin King, your taste and mine are very different

JustIgnoreTheMoanyCow · 07/05/2020 02:46

@Thepigeonsarecoming 😂🙈 not that Goblin King! The one who lives in the Castle beyond the Goblin City.

Coppola’s vampire is the best!

The vampires in near dark are brutal. No glamour with this lot. Sunlight is the killer.

We love Booberella in our house, fantastic tease for 16yo who desperately needs new bra after lockdown
"Booooobs!"

Also laughing at Goblin King mixup, though maybe he has just really let himself go over the years!

A thread on vampires and no-one has mentioned Cassidy? From Preacher?
One of the baddest vampires ever imo. He got shipped away from really bad people in multiple boxes. And circumscised a few thousand times.

Blade isn’t a vampire he’s half vampire, half human

BabloHoney · 07/05/2020 07:32

Did you know Vampires aren’t real? Unless you Count Dracula (sorry Grin )

FeelinFagin · 07/05/2020 07:33

I remember an old Japanese movie I think it was. Called something like Vamp. All you had to do was slap a piece of paper with a word (or maybe a spell? I'm not sure) onto the vampires forehead. It stopped them dead in their tracks. Funny as hell. I loved that movie as a kid even if it was subtitled.

MinorArcana · 07/05/2020 07:37

I’m Grin at cutting off their heads being used as evidence that vampires are rubbish!

Come on.

That’s going to kill just about anything! Name me a monster that can survive having its head removed!

CockCarousel · 07/05/2020 07:40

If I had a choice I'd prefer to be a werewolf. Vampires take themselves too seriously.

Pelleas · 07/05/2020 07:42

They may be easily killed - but they're excellent at rising from the grave. Look at Dracula during the 60s and 70s - he rose from his grave about once a year, and it only took such things as a vampire bat dribbling on him or a teenager conducting a half-arsed black mass to get him up and about again.

So one cancels out the other. Wink

FeelinFagin · 07/05/2020 07:59

@MinorArcana Hydra! In fact, you'd only make it mad.

vampirethriller · 07/05/2020 08:01

The best vampires are the ones in True Blood and the Blade films.
I never got why in Twilight they were still going to school. Centuries old and they can't think of anything more exciting. Sparkly weirdos.

vampirethriller · 07/05/2020 08:03

MinorArcana zombies heads can live without their bodies!

PrincessConsueIaBananaHammock · 07/05/2020 08:15

@MinorArcana Leviathans . I'm having a Supernatural binge.Grin

BlessMeDarkFather · 07/05/2020 09:09

Agree with @Room101isWhereIUsedtoLive Cassidy is amazing and survived numerous shit!

RubaiyatOfAnyone · 07/05/2020 09:15

Mitchell and Webb already pointed out how stupid “The Lore of the Vampire” is:

“...what next, do they turn 2-dimensional near ginger? If you show them a picture of a bus do their knees drop off?” Grin

That said, team Spike, obvs.
