Why does getting bit by a vampire turn you into a vampire? How come zombie movies always explain the "infection" in scientific terms, whereas vampire movies don't even address the obvious question?
It works like rabies. I also remember that to turn you into a vampire it needs to be only a partial suckup or possibly injection of something, so if they suck you completely dry you don't turn.
>>217076503Vampirism is a fictional concept. I know, right? You can portray it any way you want
>>217076503>possibly injection of somethingI always thought this was a dumb idea. Were they thinking about snakes or something?
>>217076581>Vampirism is a fictional conceptImagine thinking vampirism is purely fictional.
>>217076503Dracula movies put as some "curse" or "black magic" stuff.Also here, have some sexy Shanoa back.
>>217076669Imagine thinking it's anything else
>>217076503Being a zombie is usually scifi stuff nowadays while being a vampire is magic shit
>>217076669Vampirism is literally fictional, retard
>>217076881>The Persians were one of the first civilizations thought to have tales of such monsters; creatures attempting to drink blood from men are depicted on excavated pottery shards.Tales of vampirism predate literate cultures though???
Wasn't Vampirism depicted as a virus in Blade?
>>217076503Vampires are typically personal stories, a change in oneself Zombies are societal stories dealing with threats to humanity at large
>>217076503gay
>>217076503it depends on the movie/tv show. sometimes zombie are magic sometimes scifi. same for vampires.
>>217076503>>217076546No, you don't turn if you get bit. You turn if you get bit and nearly die then drink vampire blood to recover. The original vampire become one by making a crazy deal with Satan. Any story that makes it like zombies just forgot or never knew.
>>217078063>drink vampire blood to recoverDoes it taste good?
>>217078063>You turn if you get bit and nearly die then drink vampire blood to recover.The fuck? Since when? Lucy just got bit in the book and she is literally our only visible onscreen transformation.
>>217076503Because vampirism is an allegory for AIDS
>>217078143Why would they depict AIDS as something cool and desirable?
>>217076503>Why does getting bit by a vampire turn you into a vampire?Aids
>>217076503>Why does getting bit by a vampire turn you into a vampire?Because vampires are literally magic. You're a retard, kill yourself
>>217078127Dracula the book isn't the first vampire story. You could become a vampire before that just by being depressed at death, being the seventh son of a seventh son, lots of stuff.
>>217078844I was curious and looked up Varney's story just to see if it was consistent. First and foremost that fucking writer is on crack, what is with this narrative structure?Second yeah he bites Clara but he doesn't give her his blood, he does a ritual to raise her necromancer style. Seriously in what literature did you see "Makes them drink vampire blood"
