Vampire Report

First, sorry i have not been posting a ton. My computer has a really hard time posting for some reason so most of what i say just never shows up. It's becoming quite frustrating.

Second, the point of my post: I think we should begin discussing what makes a vampire truly vampiric. We should create a list in class of all of the aspects of a vampire from old to new. I have been noticing that there are two main types of vampires; the zombie-like ones, and the human-like ones. The human ones, like Dracula and Carmilla, blend well into society while the zombie-like ones tend to roam the streets in search of blood without trying to hide their vampiric qualities (i.e. being dead).

We could make catagories of vampires or simply decide what we think makes a vampire a vampire. What are the universal vampire qualities (blood sucking, being dead.. )? What makes a vampire unique from other monsters?

Then we should also look at vampire lore. We have all posted and talked briefly about the history of vampires, but i think we should put down in writing (apart from the blog) what we have been finding. Lets start a basic vampire report in the next week or two.
