vampires

I dont know if this belongs here but here i am anyway.

why do some women find vampires aluring? sexy even? when vampires are suppose to be somthing to fear and not love and find sexy?

example:

I don't know one woman that "swoons" over them nor have I ever met anyone who does in my entire life. I have no idea as to why anyone would "swoon" over vampires other than a psychological problem.

i've seen it happen, my friends all think vampires are great, they dont do anything weird mind, they just think they are sexy, i like vampires because of the stories behind them. and i like watching and reading about vampires, and i enjoy the history behind them.

Perhaps they are the "bad boy" image that some women prefer in a man .

 

Perhaps because of false image that has been created through the centuries:

thanks plazma!

yeah i thought the first pic was great aswell, but not sexy, that to me is what a vampire would look like, and not those poncy fancy boys

 

This example from the first Salem's Lot film is one of the best vampires ever lensed.

Hes tall, bald, luminous eyes, doesnt speak and has unconventional fangs...perfect!

Back Shaman!

The more human looking vampires are just more realistic.. not 'made up'.

Of course theres an inherent sexual element.

The hypnotic gaze...the embrace...the bite!

 

From Filipino tradition it's Manananggal - Woman which torso flies in search for victims, while legs stay on the ground.

Awesome clip from "Shake, Rattle & Roll" movie:

And now where term "vampire" originates from.
From Slavic folklore, another great clip:

Stephen King's IT character is a kind of vampire too.

Except his victims are children...so instead of a suave charming rogue, he appears as a clown.

Dont cha wanna balloon?

 

i hate that clown, clowns scare the hell out of me, i just cant look at them

 

not a vampire though, not like we know today anyway, vlad tepes (or the impaler) drank the blood of his victims has a celebration of winning, he would also get a name for himself by impaling theheads of his victims on poles! has a warning to other would be attackers

 

No, but vampires were based on this character.

 

yes i give you that, but him himslef was not a vampire just a blood thirsty mainiac
