Vampires are vectors of protozoonoses, rickettsioses and especially rabies. The Latin American Paralyssa is only transmitted by vampires. Besides helping to prevent rabies, the control of vampires is an important tool in preventing these vector-borne diseases.

Once I returned to the Church and began to see the universe as a place that really did incorporate redemption and really tried to understand the implications of there being a God, my identification with the vampires as outcasts, as outsiders and lost souls began to totally wane. It no longer worked for me. I had done it. It had led me to this point.

Aren't you going to at least try to be sexy? Think of all those vampire fans out there--they'd be so disappointed.

What if it turns out there really are witches and vampires and werewolves living right here alongside us? After all, what better disguise could there be than to get your image enshrined in the culture of the mass media? Anything that's described in artistic terms and shown in the movies stops being frightening and mysterious. For real horror you need the spoken word, you need an old grandpa sitting on a bench, scaring the grandkids in the evening.

I think what the vampires are doing is good, because it helps put into perspective what our conception of 'normal' is. Them doing what they're doing isn't a problem.... It's our preconceived notion of what normal is that's the problem.

You won't find a vampire in a Ford Fiesta.

Wow! When you become a vampire, men become broad shouldered and muscle-bound and women become tall and thin! You ever think of selling this on QVC?

Vampires. Honestly, they're like children sometimes.

Vampires are real -- at least the amoebae variety -- and they have been around for millions of years, say researchers who found evidence of predation in ancient microbial ecosystems dating back more than 740 million years. Using a scanning electron microscope to examine minute fossils, the researchers found perfectly circular drill-holes that may have been formed by an ancient relation of Vampyrellidae amoebae.

They hover alive in the space about me, vampires of thought, drinking the life of my soul. Shadows, flung into space by sharp corners, breaking off at unknown angles, falling on concrete floors, climbing black walls.

CHESTER HIMES

Surveys conducted by the Atlanta Vampire Alliance have found that there are at least five thousand people in the U.S. who identify as real vampires.... These communities have largely kept to themselves, knowing enough about public perception to not want to attract prying eyes.

YANAN WANG

In the 1970s vampires were pretty boring. The scariest vampire was Count Chocula. One bite of Count Chocula and you were cursed with Type 2 diabetes.

If it's raining and you're running
Don't slip in mud cause
If you do you'll slip in blood
Tonight is the night of the vampire

ROKY ERICKSON

Before people understood how certain diseases spread, they sometimes imagined vampires were behind the unseen forces slowly ravaging their communities.... Trying to kill vampires, or prevent them from feeding, was a way for people to feel as though they had some control over disease.

Vampires are both people, with human emotions and feelings, and supernatural. One side of their personality can be stressed over the other, but they are always shown as contradictory.

EMILY SANNA

---

I always thought of vampires, especially the young-adult ones, as a metaphor for sex -- sucking blood, forbidden, taboo. I think they just ooze sex. Vampires are all the big themes in life in one attractive bloodsucking package.

MELISSA DE LA CRUZ

Well, vampires are evergreen. Every 10 or 15 years there's something about vampires. There is a BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER. Then it'll be quiet for a while, and then we'll have UNDERWORLD, and then it goes quiet, and then there's a TRUE BLOOD, and then it goes quiet.

DONNY CATES

I want a cheeseburger so badly, but I have to be a vampire in a few weeks.

KRISTEN STEWART

Vampires are more than the myth or Twilight saga -- they're REAL and drink more than just blood. An active online community across forums and social media reveals vampires also feed off human life and emotional energy.

The traits of modern-day vampires are pretty well established. They have fangs, drink human blood, and can't see themselves in mirrors. They can be warded off with garlic, or killed with a stake through the heart. Some, like Dracula, are aristocrats who live in castles. But vampires didn't start out so clearly defined. Scholars suspect that the modern conception of these Halloween monsters evolved from various traditional beliefs that were held throughout Europe. These beliefs centered around the fear that the dead, once buried, could still harm the living. Often, these legends arose from a misunderstanding of how bodies decompose. As a corpse's skin shrinks, its teeth and fingernails can appear to have grown longer. And as internal organs break down, a dark "purge fluid" can leak out of the nose and mouth. People unfamiliar with this process would interpret this fluid to be blood and suspect that the corpse had been drinking it from the living.
