*** big hugs to Yvonne (pinkpaisley) and the Moonlight Board for the wonderful OP! We can discuss all the different mythologies we've come across in books, tv shows and movies here. Since I'm a vampire fan since Lestat, we can also differentiate VD from other vampire mythology. |
My only 'knowledge' is from Buffy and Twilight. *blinks* Let's ignore Twilight...
So, how do these vamps compare to BtVS? |
Yep. :nod:
Don't worry, my knowledge in the vampire world only exists with Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, Twilight, True Blood. We can discuss their similarities and differences here. |
I only know, vampire from Buffy, Angel, True blood, The house of night(Marked) and Twilight :pause: forget Twilight....
i really like Angel and Buffy vampires, I think I want VD vampire look like that |
I actually think that the modern day vampire stuff like twilight somehow is better. It's an improved version of the vampires before. Who remembers Count Dracula?
I wanted to know in VD: 1. What's sunlight's effect on them? 2. Do they need caskets? 3. Silver bullet, etc? How far are they going to use what's written in the books to the show. |
i remember that Dracula is not really in Bram Stoker's Dracula(the book)

I've never read the books; how are they portrayed in there? |

Don't need caskets, since they can go out in the day. And they sleep in normal beds. I'm trying to remember from the books if they're anything that can kill them, but not really. They aren't affected by crosses, garlic, sliver. I suppose stakes to the heart might do it. But from what I remember the only thing that really kills them is sunlight if they aren't wearing the lapis lazuli. |
Great thread Gay!
I haven't read the Anne Rice Vampires but i have pretty much everything else! |
Hi guys! :) nice discussion over here :)
I like the concept in VD that a vampire can't enter a house unless he's been invited, I hope it gets highlighted in the tv series :D |

Now those are something I personally am looking forward to see in the show. :nod:
Thanks for the book info Meghan and Weena :D Those are interesting stuff and if they get highlighted in the show could pose more SL to them. :nod: Jen - Anne Rice's vampires both have modern and classic vampire qualities. They are not affected or killed by crosses, garlic, wooden stakes. Though, they still do need coffins to sleep. Sunlight could kill them, too (the newbies) but ancient vampires and those who had drank blood from the ancient ones could go out in the sun. They also automatically feel "sleepy" when dawn is near and when they sleep, they become dead bodies. As for the appearance, they have pale skin, glass fingernails, luminous eyes. They don't feel any sexual urges as well and they are unable to make babies. Oh girls, we can still talk about Twilight. It's a vampire movie/book as well. We just have to be careful not to cross the line of bashing. I trust that we can handle that. ;nod: |
Don't worry about me I for one like the Twilight novels:nod:
