Vampires

I admit everything that I know about vampires comes from movies such as Dracula (not Bram Stokers), Van Helsing and (cringe) Twilight. What I know about Dracula, from all of the movie researching i’ve performed, is that he was a vampire, a monster, had 3 wives, lived in a secluded castle and was feared.

I think people are fascinated by vampires because they are unnatural, they are fantastical creatures that do not fit the mold of your average husband/lover/boyfriend. Vampires are dark, seductive, dangerous, passionate and ultimately your death. Everything that I heard about vampires is that, if you want to be with one, you cannot remain the same person that you currently are. A vampire is a monster that either kills you or changes you into a monster as well.

I think that they are so attractive because they represent youth and immortality. But the downside is that you give up who you once were. Vampires feed on others to remain young, they are killers. They no longer partake in food and cannot venture into the sunlight. They are unnatural, they are sinners, they are predators. They are a Victorian monster.
