"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.

I can totally imagine vampires having blood type preferences. (feddit.online)

Like, say, if a vampire comes up on a human and starts to drink, they could spit it out because it's a blood type they hate the taste of. Or if a vampire prefers Rh-negative, they would probably be excited when a human has that.

There's obviously more than the common blood types, but let's just use those for example. Maybe some could prefer Type A for having a rich flavor. Or Type O for being salty.

The Sookie Stackhouse books and True Blood show explore this very idea. They've got artificial blood vampires can order at a bar that imitates various blood types. There's a bit where a server grabs the wrong type on purpose because she hates vampires.

That women with the rarest blood type would be a delicacy

But the real question is... does virgin blood taste any different? There are way too many horror movies that require virgin blood.

My theory: as we age, our cells get worse and worse at dividing, and we get more scar tissue and stuff. This affects taste.Old cow isn't as tasty as calf. Lamb is tastier than mutton. I figure "virgin" is just vampire shorthand for "still young and tasty".
