Agreed Cloudy. That explanation is quite plausible [img]smile.gif[/img]

If you've ever seen "DRACULA 2000" it does, in my opinion, give a great explination of why Vamps have issue with the sun and why they hate all religious symbols. Check it out. I won't go into the explination because it's not revieled (sp?) until the end of the movie and I don't want to give it away in case anyone hasn't seen the movie and wants to.

I prefer Blades EDTA solution for vampires [img]smile.gif[/img]

Edit: And yes I know they do not exist. I just like the movies [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hmmm, interesting. Just a thought, perhaps its the concentration of Ultraviolet Rays from sunlight that affects the vampire adversely. Therefore, moonlight does not have the same potency as compared to direct sunlight during the daytime.

A couple of my favorite books are Vampire-related.

For starters, Fred Saberhagen's The Dracula Tapes can't be beat. It's the story of Bram Stoker's Dracula, told from Dracula's point of view. Quite interesting and informative... and a fun read, too!

[edit] Forgot to add that Stoker later tried this with Frankenstein's Monster, although not with the same level of success. He also turned Dracula into a regular character in a number of sequels, but they didn't IMHO match the feeling of the first one. [/edit]
After that, my favorite Vampire author is P.N. Elrod. She's got the Vampire Chronicles (a detective series set in the late 1920s in Chicago where the main character is a vampire) and a few other offshoots, including some travel into Stoker's World as well (Quincy Morris, Vampire).

Good reading, and fun, too. They look at the vampire as just another guy (or gal) with a life (or un-life) to live...

Well, I believe there are things that we can't explain, and Vampirism is possible......

Not trying to start a fight here...but I'd really like to know on what basis you make this statement? Unless I missed something along the way, there are no undead sucking the blood from the living in this world.

But there are vampiric species living on this earth. They're not supernatural, they don't so much suck blood as lap it up and they're not human, but they are there.
