You people. I swear.

That was next on my list!

I see a person, saying they've been dealt with in a hostile manner, asking for evidence that doesn't exist save as witness statements.

Unless I am going with everyone who ever says bad things happened to them are liars, I see no particular reason to doubt either of the posters. Note the guy didn't say none of this ever happened, just that he has been given nothing to prove it.

More importantly, I wanted people here to speak on the topic, however they wish to, as long as it is honest.

Fermented rebellion for the win!

Uh, thats Sullivan, Sully to his friends. Derrrr.

Anyone have a review of Beast?

And I wasn't trying to link lethal sunlight to the advent of the Dracula novel, though many movie versions feature sunlight as the final destroyer of Dracula. I was just trying to see what had been written about before Dracula made such a big splash.

Is there a term for when you say two things near one another, but they aren't meant to be directly related, though they may be taken as such?

Almost every trait of creatures are up for redefining. EG not all vampires or "zombies" have actually died at all. It's just a reminder that you can go many directions when you have an idea.

Actually, feeding from humans and hard to get rid of.

Sunlight didn't originally affect them in most myths. As a disease metaphor, anything that defeats them other than Divine Power would be hard to match up with the experience.

I read several pre-Dracula western vampire serials and stories to see what they were like.

There is no reason to go with those stories in particular when dealing with a modern audience, but they can provide different visions from the Victorian one.

For instance the somewhat cheesy movie Lifeforce takes on vampire swarms, sexiness, millenial fear, bat shape shifting. Renfields, stakes through the heart AND reincarnated romance. All in a different way.
