warning this one may suck (hehe)

in honor of all hallowed eve i have decided to do my planed blog about vampires... more importantly the difference between the more popular interpretations of said vampires, and the new trend of the cuddly vampires.... some who sparkle *barf*

lets start with my favourite vampires

Buffy the vampire slayer vampires.

These vampires are demons who inhabit the corpse of a dead human.
they are super strong and fast,they also heal quickly but generally they have no extra ordinary powers like flight or shape shifting (not including Dracula, who you find out in season 8 comic run, actually got his powers separately from becoming a vampire) they also have super senses.

they need to drink human blood to survive, but can also survive on the blood of other animals like rats or pigs.

personally they are the human they were before but with out a soul and inhibitions.

there weaknesses are fire, sunlight, having there heart penitrated by wood and having there head severed from there bodies.

they are without souls thus they feel no remorse for there horrid actions until they are re souled like spike and angel, some take it better than others, some spend decades in guilt, some spend a month in a school basement.

though they are without souls they can still feel feelings of love and hate.

when they are killed they turn to dust... for easy clean up and avoiding those pesky murder charges from police officers who are out of the loop.

now that all being said they don't have the cool powers like some vampires do, so they may not win in a fight with some of the other vampires

secondly let us address the very similar

Blade movie vampires

they are similar to the buffy vamps, in that they have the same powers and turn to ash when they die.

as far as i know they can only survive on human blood or blades serum.

they are more scientific in origin, claiming that vampirism is a virus that is passed on from either from birth or bite.

they also have different weaknesses instead of a wooden stake to the heart they can be killed with a silver stake to any vital organ, also they are week to garlic. they are still weak to sun, but in the nature of being more scientific they are actually reactive to uv light natural or man made.

they are much different then there counterparts in marvel comics that blade is based on. i am not going to get into that because comics have way to much back story to try and sum up lets just say they were created by priests in atlantis before it sunk ... yeah told you

now for another one of my faves

night watch/day watch/twilight watch/final watch vampires.

the watch vampires are similar to blade vampires by way of being able to be born or turned through bite.

they are weak to sunlight yes but more so they are weak to high levels of alcohol and magic

vampires are licensed to hunt humans and are given a seal , if they get out of line the seal can be used to kill them instantly.

most vampires are just common low level dark others who are looked down on by other..uh others... yeah. they have no real power besides strength longer life and speed. the one power they do have is the ability to call humans to them like a siren.

some vampires can reach the level of higher vampires but it is hard to achieve as you have to completely drain 100 humans of blood. when they become higher vampires they are able to use magic in ways that lower vampires can't.

they are not inherently evil and some even choose to live on donated blood.

now for the trendy vampires

the ones you can take home to mother, sure angel was a good vampire, and so was spike eventually. but they were cool becasue they were unique and hell it was not even angel's choice to have his soul.

lets get into the new wave of vampres

Twilight vampires

yes everyone's favorite golden eyed smooth skinned sparkly vampire boyfriends

they can survive on animal blood but it takes years of training not to eat every human who walks by.

they are super strong and fast have all the senses as the other vampires but they have no weakness that the average human can take advantage of.

to be killed they must be dismembered and burned... a feat only another vampire can do, which is actually kind of cool in the way that it makes them scarier but it also means that us normies have no chance if they get hungry.

some of the vampires have special abilities but only if they had some sort of ability when they were human.


they are really way to popular for people who sparkle

now for the similar

The vampire diaries vampires

so far i don't know to much about them sept they seem a little bit more based on original vampire ideas but with the whole lovable vampire twist

they are strong and fast. when the feed on human blood they get faster and stronger and the ability to contoral human minds, summon mist and crows.....

i will learn more about them as the show goes on. till then i will with hold judgment.

well there are some vampires... there are WAY to many to get into so i stuck with tv and film
vampires (and even then not even close to all of them)
hope it was informitive
