Vampires and werewolves. Myth, a real thing or rubbish?

[Michauek]

Hi there
I wanted to talk about Vampirism and Lycanthropism. Actually, what I want to discuss are the vampire- connected legends and tales (but also movies). Maybe some of you believe that vampires and werewolves exist?

To begin with, I must admit that I neither believe in vampires or werewolves. These are to me only the characters taken from legends and tales, but I like reading these legends and tales. I think that the cinema has a great influence on a classical image of a vampire- it has changed a lot. The early vampire movies from the early 20th century ( Dracula with Lugosi, Christopher Lee), this is the good thing while the present Hollywood productions (Van Helsing, Twilight) are really poor to me, but not all of them of course- The interview with the vampire was really good. I was a bit shocked when searching the net I found a site of a guy that claimed to be a vampire (he even explained how to find a victim or how to cut your wrist precisely to get blood and not bleed to death). Maybe some vampires among us, forum members?

Hi Mikel,

You've chosen a very interesting topic to discuss.
I don't believe in either vampires or werewolves too,but I must admit that there are quite a lot of books or movies about them which are really very interesting.Vampires are mythological revenants who subsist by feeding on the blood of the living beings.The first book I read about vampires was in my childhood and it was"Dracula",I remember that I was very anxious and nervous while I was reading it,I was even a bit afraid but still I was going on reading it. You say that you've found a guy who claimed to be a vampire.How interesting!Where was he from?

Finally, I would repeat your words,Mikel,"Maybe some vampires among us, forum members?",and I would answer: Who knows!

I thought Van Helsing was okay but not Twilight -- too childish, just like Batman (I fell asleep when I watched them). Now, I do agree that The Interview with the Vampire was good, for one reason only, Brad was in it. (I know, I have got to get over this infatuation )

Either way, if there is any blood sucking person out there, just want to let him/her know, you don't scare me a bit.

That's only a walrus. And its giving me that "Look at me, I'm so sexy" kinda look. Don't tell me you are scared of that, G. They only eat fish!

And all you have to do to scare a vampire away is by having a garlic breath.
