Vampires
The lure of the vampire has beguiled more than just a handful. Some are drawn to the romanticism that vampire represent, some to the power, and others to the implied evil of the lifestyle of a vampire. Vampires, as most everyone knows, are believed to be creatures of the night who live on by drinking the blood of humans.
Even though vampires have been a part of the human (hi)story for millennia, they have become popular since the publication of Bram Stoker's Dracula. Aside from being a literary masterpiece, Dracula is a novel that has captured the imagination of more than just a handful of people who long for the creatures of the dark. It has also inspired other novels as well as numerous movies which have gone to become some of the most successful films of cinema history. In fact it was in the early days of cinema when the German film Nosferatu portrayed the vampire from Bram Stoker's imagination. Since then, the vampire, has been reintroduced to audiences in many forms.
Aside from cinema, vampires have come to be the point of fascination of many who have an interest in what has come to be known as the Gothic lifestyle. This fascination with the occult and the lure of the vampire has become more than just a fad, and has taken a life of its own, spawning covens (clubs), and other groups that are dedicated to living the life of a vampire.
It should also be mentioned that the traditional notion of a vampire has now been expanded and now includes such sub-groups as energy vampires.
