You’re gonna be okay,” someone whispered in his ear. Someone familiar, but Stiles couldn’t put his finger on who exactly. All he could focus on was the throbbing pain across his wet chest. Park Chan-wook’s Thirstis an ironically yet immensely appropriately titled movie. It explores the insatiable thirst for blood the characters adopt as they turn into creatures of the night. However, it shows that their needs are not so two-dimensional. It highlights their remaining human desires, especially through the character of Sang-hyun. Holy Burns Evil: Sacred religious objects can harm or repel vampires, usually because of their demonic nature. Sliding Scale of Vampire Friendliness: The classes of vampires that range from benevolent to malevolent. I have to admit... at first, it felt strange, the metallic taste. But then, it was like electricity coursing through my body-- a million stars exploding in my mind all at once. It's like nothing I've ever felt before. It was amazing. And all I can think now is... I want to do it again.Our Vampires Are Different: As you'll find reading through this index, vampires tend to be depicted very differently depending on what story you're looking at, and their abilities, appearances, behaviors, and overall nature are not always the same. The only thing consistent between (almost) all vampires is that they're predatory beings who feed on something from people.

No Zombie Cannibals: Vampires usually don't feed on another vampire's blood, though depending on the story, there may be some exceptions to this rule. In our list of vampire devices below, we've included how much vampire energy the device has been reported as using where the information was available. Where costs have been used, this is based on the current average 34p per kWh electricity cost.

Nicolas Cage and Dracula always seemed like the perfect fit. Ever since Cage played an eccentric vampire in 1988, it was almost inevitable that he would end up playing The Prince of Darkness at some point in his career. That time came in 2023's Renfield, a horror-comedy focusing on Dracula's manservant of the same name (played by Nicholas Hoult). Having grown tired with the years of servitude and bloodshed, Renfield leaves his master in search of a new life, and starts by joining a support group for people in codependent relationships.

Even vampires who have been shot with wooden bullets, which have a weakening effect on vampires, have been seen to continue fighting so long as they were not shot in the heart or the head. Vampires still react to physical force in a human manner, particularly young vampires, who will occasionally be affected even by human-strength-level force. Vampires can also still be stunned and dazed by strikes and trauma, though their tolerance for it will increase as they get older. Every regular vampire who has ever existed is descended from those of their kind known as the Original vampires, who, unlike the majority of vampires, were turned not by dying with vampire blood in their system, but who were instead transformed using a spell that was cast using dark magic at some point around 1001 AD in what is now modern-day Mystic Falls. However, the ritual that resulted in their transformation does have similarities to how normal vampires are turned, in that they had to consume blood (in their case, the blood of the human Petrova doppelgänger Tatia which had been enchanted with an adapted version of The Immortality Spell by their powerful witch mother, Esther) before being killed while that blood was in their system. Mind Compulsion: Vampires have the ability to influence and control thoughts, emotions, and behavior and can alter or erase memories.
