	Vampire article - Vampire mythical folkloric human blood corpse undead demons bats dogs - What-Means.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Vampires are often described as having a wide variety of additional powers and character traits, extremely variable in different traditions, and are a frequent subject of folklore, cinema, and contemporary fiction.
		In their mythology, a vampire drank blood, was afraid of (but could not be killed by) silver, and could be destroyed by cutting off its head and putting it between the corpse's legs, or by putting a wooden stake into its heart.
		Its portrayal of vampirism as a disease (contagious demonic possession!), with its undertones of sex, blood, and death, struck a chord in a Victorian England where tuberculosis and syphilis were common.

	Vampire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Albania, a type of vampire known as the was suppossed to be the reanimated corpse of Albanians of Turkish descent.
		However, once the vampire bats became known in western culture, their existence certainly reinforced and shaped the vampire legend, and it is common for vampires to be represented as bat-like in one way or another and have the ability to transform into one when desired which in turns grants the ability to fly.
		The vampire subculture describes a contemporary subculture marked by an obsessive fascination with, and emulation of, contemporary vampire lore, including everything from fashion and music to, in the more extreme cases, the actual exchange of blood.

		Vampires have been openly mingling with humans for four years, and the one who shows up in the Louisiana backwater Bon Temps turns out to be the man of Sookie Stackhouse's dreams.
		It's not that Sookie aspires to be a "fang banger" (as vampire hangers-on are called): she has an almost uncontrollable ability to read minds, and Bill the vampire is the first person she has encountered whose thoughts are a golden silence to her.
		To someone who hasn't read much vampire fiction, it may even seem bright and fresh, with its spunky protagonist, her gallant (if pale) beau, and an assortment of colorful small-town characters and the quietly menacing vampire subculture.

	Vampires - 2003 Conference Session 10
		Vampires have seldom been as popular as they have been in the last decade with the popularity of ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ and its spin off series ‘Angel’, the novels of Anne Rice and films like ‘Blade’ and ‘Dracula 2001’.
		New York vampires are generally lone, independent women who literally “take back the night” and LA vampires are often urban gangs whose strength lies in numbers and whose vampirism acts as an identity badge.
		While LA vampire films are built around the illusionism and generic trappings of Hollywood cinema, the New York vampire film draws upon a tradition of independent and European-style art-cinema.

	Vampire Youth Subculture in New York City. 2nd World Dracula Congress, Poiana Brasov, May 2000<
		During a screening of youth subcultures in the Western World in the context of criminalistic and medico-legal investigations (1,2), we researched the vampire youth subculture in Manhattan during the years from 1997 to 2000.
		The scene prefers to use the spelling vampyre instead of vampire to stress that their lifestyle is a vivid and modern form of vampirism compared to a scholarly approach to the topic.
		Youth subcultures buffer the need for living in a trusting and loving group, and the NYC vampire/vampyre scene is one of the most elaborate examples of how genetic bonds are substituted by interracial, cultural bonds.

		In her quest for real-life vampires, she studies blood-drinking club goers who identify with the mysterious monsters but are not actual murderers, but also relates tales about serial killers such as Ted Bundy because they exhibit vampiric traits such as remorselessness and lust for destruction.
		When she discusses the "birth" of the vampire in folklore, she addresses such physical things as the decomposition of the human body to explain how perfectly natural occurrences such as a body shifting in the grave, bloating, or maintaining a rare redness of pallor might explain events our ancestors ascribed to evil manifestations.
		Her approach reveals more about man than vampire in the end, but that is because the vampire not only represents something deep and meaningful in the human imagination, he reflects and anticipates constantly shifting cultural values in society.

	Vampire's Tomb - The Dark Truth about Vampires (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Members of the subculture ("vampirists") often prefer the spelling "vampyre" to distinguish themselves from the "fictional" vampire while simultaneously adding a pseudo- Victorian flair to their activities.
		Most modern practitioners of vampirism do not believe themselves to be undead creatures; rather, they use vampirism as a means of practicing magic (k).
		A number of these vampires not only practice vampirism but actually believe themselves to be the vampires of legend, or some similar creature (for example, a "lost race" of Homo sapiens ; see otherkin for further discussion of this phenomenon).
