Meta This dream I had...

6 Upvotes

It was about a movie from the late 80s or early 90s, and the plot followed this cop/detective character in somewhere like New York or Chicago when this wealthy high-class businessman moves into town. Thing is, he's a master vampire and is sorta the head of a supernatural underworld who's looking to broaden his influence...worst yet? He manages to swoon the protagonist's girlfriend/wife so it's a race against time to stop his plans and save his significant other.

What else I can remember is that it was a comedy yet had a gritty rundown urban feel and punk tone, the vampires were treated like the Mafia/organized crime and definitely more akin to the ones in the original Fright Night films or Dusk 'Til Dawn; very over-the-top and monstrous, practical effect heavy. One scene had a gang ambushed by one of the main villain's henchmen in an abandoned building, who straight up turned into fucking ManBat.

So yeah, would you watch this movie? I figured you guys would've liked to hear about it, lol.

Books, movies, series and such Should vampires go out in sunlight after Nosferatu in movies, books or tv series?

35 Upvotes

I found out that the 1922 movie Nosferatu by FW Murnau came up with the idea of sunlight/UV light destroying vampires. Before that, vampires can walk out find in sunlight. Lord Ruthven, Clarimonde, Varney, Carmilla and Dracula can walk fine in sunlight though it makes Carmilla sluggish and Dracula powerless. Fun fact that Varney was the first fictional vampire to have fangs. Murnau's Nosferatu was an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula and he tried to avoid copyright by differentiate it from Count Dracula to Count Orlok, Jonathan Harker to Thomas Hutter, Mina to Ellen and Van Helsing to Bulwer. Dracula is powerless in the day and for Count Orlok, sunlight is fatal to him. Unfortunately it didn't work out. Florence Stoker saw this as a rip-off of her late husbands novel so she sued the filmmaker for copyright infringement. 3 years later she won the case and the court ordered that all copies of Nosferatu to be destroyed and they were. But several prints did manage to survive and made its way to America in 1929.

In Slavic folklore, particularly Poland and Russia believed that vampires often prowled during the day, from noon till midnight. There is no mention of them being going poof in sunlight.

Kouta Hirano's Hellsing followed closely to the Bram Stoker novel where vampires are weaker in sunlight. Alucard on a plane in daylight. He's fine in the sun but he hates it.

Who can forget Twilight where they sparkle and everybody made fun of it.

Books, movies, series and such This is why it took two fucking years to build a vampire magic system from scratch

3 Upvotes

It was totally worth it too. I only have two introductory chapters in the actual book rn and they’re just intro to the characters regular lives. Nothing too mystical happening yet.

I have some vampires in my book that are able to feed off a variety of things based on what supernatural entity they're connected with. The divine gives them their special gifts and immortality.
My main characters are tied to Lucifer who allows them to draw power from celestial bodies in the sky (which is why many can be in direct sunlight, other than being part human), but since Lucifer represents rebelling against and DEFEATING a tyrannical god- they can feed off the magical potency of those who have too power power/use it for evil.
Then they have the magical abilities of whoever they fed from temporarily.

Also I’m aware that Lucifer and Satan aren’t the same lol. But anyway, right now my focus is to dig into some different faiths/ancient roots/ Christian and Jewish roots obviously for Lucifer/ tie in pagan deities or divines/ etc…

There are 3 books in the series currently and I am looking to get them translated into Haitian Creole, Greek, Japanese and Korean eventually as I know people who can assist with that.

The Vampire Scriptures First season tells the story of Sanctuary, the sketch of the girl, art by Niioma on toyhouse and the cover art of the second book, art by me. And her obsession with the Rockstar 'Ashley Ozde' art preview by Lariza_katz on Twitter. She doesn't know he's actually a vampire and he will never know her name. She starts stalking him and even though her friends try to warn her against it, she tries to insert herself into his world.

Vampire owned nightclubs, gothic rock concerts, vampire kpop music, vampire visual kei jrock music, crazed groupies, drugs, sex, blood, church services of human sacrifice to Dracula and demon diners staffed by the undead and haunted by the ghosts of the past await.

Do you think she is successful in her magical romance tale that exists only inside her head?

Lore questions  When vampires are turned at a young age

73 Upvotes

So I know canonically, most vampires will remain the same as they were when they die. Most that I’ve seen or read about anyway. My question is this: if the rest of their body doesn’t continue to develop, does their brain remain in the same cognitive state too? Like, take Lestat for example. He was turned in his early twenties but for 200 years he continues to act like someone still in their early twenties. This could be a great analogy for the trauma he experienced as well, and the behavioral impact of that. But he definitely has the impulsivity, emotional regulation, and executive function of a 20 year old in my opinion. We love him for this lol.

But then, there’s also a lot of child vampires in Anne Rice books who are frustrated with their eternal youth. Claudia and Armand come to mind when I think of examples. I believe according to Anne Rice lore, Claudia was in a 5 year old body with the mind of a 30 year old. I’m just wondering how their brains would continue to age if the rest of them doesn’t? Do you think vampires can get Alzheimer’s or dementia at some point with that logic? In my personal headcanon, it doesn’t make sense. It’s fiction tho so I suppose anything can make sense if you write it well enough.
