"Few creatures of the night have captured our imagination like vampires.
What explains our enduring fascination with vampires? Is it the overtones of sexual lust, power, control? Or is it a fascination with the immortality of the undead?"
Feel free to post any vampire-related content here. I'll be posting various vampire media I enjoy just as a way of kickstarting this community but don't let that stop you from posting something else. I just wanted a place to discuss vampire movies, books, games, etc.

Wait a minute, jou just made me think about something. Vampires cabt see themselves in mirrors, but what about make up? Do they just see floating foundation? Whats the average makeup routine for vampires?
The real question is when did vampire become hot? Nosferatu didn't need a mirror. The original count dracula was a slender man with an unusual height, strength and a pale colour when did not find enough victimes. Then vampires became hot. And cute. Castlevania dracula is closer to bram stoker than almost any other iteration.
Well, if clothing is also invisible, I think makeup seems pretty likely to be the same.
There is lots of story where vampires have mitigate or eliminate their affliction for day light, either with evolution, magic, science or something else. We may say they don't have a reflection as a general rule but there are some tricks.
