Vampire Questions:

What Do You Suppose Fuels Our Ongoing Literary Romance With Vampires?

Of all mythological beings, the vampire seems to be the one that has best captured our literary interest. Many books are written about fairies and elves, but they seem to remain in the realm of genre fiction. The vampire, on the other hand, long ago moved out of the horror genre and into the mainstream. Additionally, there is a healthy underground of real-life vampires, from those who feed on energy, to those who feed on blood. I have yet to read anything about people who believe themselves to be elves or gnomes.

I think it is more a fascination with the darker side of ourselves. While elves and gnomes are generally considered to be nonhuman, a vampire is what? A human turned vampire, immortal, preying upon his own kind. Despising the frailty of his prey he uses them to bring about his own immortality. We all have that darker side, the transformation into a Vampire, I think, is just an example of that. Everytime he feeds, despite the romantic notions of not killing when feeding, he destroys that weakness.

The Recent Vampire Craze: An Explanation of the Creatures Showing Up on Your HD TV

In the 1990s, the television show Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a cult hit.  Based on an 1980s film with the same name, it attracted millions of viewers and ran for several years – despite its somewhat cliché subject.  Though its following was less-than mainstream (and that of its spin-off Angel even less so), it earned a place in American television and pop culture history, receiving critical acclaim for its use of vampires and demons as metaphors for the challenges of growing up.

After the era of Buffy came and went, many assumed that the theme of vampires, at least for a while, would disappear, too.  In recent months, however, these mythical creatures have come front and center.  From Twilight to True Blood to The Vampire Diaries, vampire-themed television shows and films have become all the rage.  More and more television watchers find themselves switching their high definition televisions to HBO to watch True Blood and flocking to theaters to see Twilight than ever before.  And while before, vampire-themed entertainment was somewhat taboo, today, it is more popular than ever.

What does this recent obsession with these creatures that have existed in myths and fairy tales for hundreds of years mean?  There is no clear answer.

A most obvious and perhaps correct answer is that this vampire rage is simply a fad.  With the success of the Twilight book series and subsequent films, it is easy to argue that many in the entertainment business simply jumped on the bandwagon in hopes of making a quick buck.  With the increasing popularity of satellite TV, television stations are competing harder than ever for viewers’ attention.  Knowing that the attention and interest of audiences has been piqued by the vampires of Twilight, writers and producers hope that similarly themed shows have a similar effect.  Much like the reality craze of the 1990s, the vampire craze may be nothing more than simple domino effect.

There are, however, other explanations.  Though vampires have recently reemerged with a great amount of force in media and entertainment, they have been a fixture of storytelling for hundreds of years.  Vampires appear in stories that date back hundreds of years ago.  The myths of wooden stakes, crosses, garlic and sunlight are drawn from tales told long, long ago.  Maybe, the inclusion of these blood-sucking creatures in our literature and cultures actually says something about us.

What, of course, the existence of vampires in our mythology could mean is tough to pinpoint.  One possible explanation for the current craze, however, could be linked to the reality of the world around us.  In a world that seems to be increasingly in crisis, mythological and incredible tales serve as an escape.  Vampires and demons serve as manifestations of the evils we face in real life – war, crime, poverty, etc.  We switch our HD TVs to these mythological shows in part to escape from often much darker realities.

When we tell stories about these creatures, demonizing them but also giving them depth and complexity, we also tell stories about ourselves.  Vampires will not be disappearing from satellite TV anytime soon, but that may be a good thing after all.

Vampiress Costume Ideas

Sexy Pirate Costumes

For a woman, going to a fancy dress party can be a great excuse to wear a really sexy outfit. There are quite a number of different things to choose from that can look really good. One of the largest factors which you have to consider when you are deciding on what to wear is how much self confidence you have. You do not want to make yourself stand out from the crowd if it is going to make you feel uncomfortable all evening and ultimately ruin the whole party for you. There are still plenty of outfits to choose from even if are not daring enough to wear something with a short skirt or a low-cut top. You can still manage to look really alluring without showing off your legs.

Pirate costumes for women can look very sexy and still be relatively simple. For the less confident lady, there is the option of dressing up in a man’s style of outfit with some small feminine touches added to it. For example, you could wear some fairly plain-looking trousers with a wide leather belt. This will help to exaggerate your waistline and hips. Perhaps you could wear a man’s shirt with the belt over the top of it? For ladies who are a bit more daring they could have the shirt unbuttoned quite low and wear a nice necklace that is in keeping with pirate costumes.

Another possibility is a nice skirt or dress worn with leather boots. Have a look at Keira Knightley in the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ movies and the style of her clothes. If you can find yourself a dress that has got a lace-up front then it will look really nice with a pair of black or brown boots even if it is long. This is the good thing about pirate costumes; there are so many different ways to dress. Again, for braver ladies that want something that is a bit more ‘naughty’, there is the option of a lace-up dress that is a bit too tight and a little on the short side…

Pirate costumes for women will often have very high leather boots which, when worn with something short, will guarantee to make you the centre of attention amongst the party’s male guests. The only thing about these types of boots is that they can be very expensive… Fortunately there are many fancy dress outlets that hire out pirate costumes as well as selling them.

So, as you can now see, to look sexy at a fancy dress party, it is not necessary to dress up in a saucy nurse’s outfit (unless of course your boyfriend likes the idea of it…). Pirate costumes are a great way to look sexy and a little bit different to all of the other guests. You can be as demure or risque as you want to and still stand out from everyone else. After all, what fun would it be for a girl to dress up as just another French maid or sexy vampiress?

Vampiress Costume

How would one got about pulling off a “Stood Up At Prom, Then Murdered Her Date” Halloween costume?

I would like to do that or a Vampiress Queen. I like the prom one best, but I’m not sure how I would do that.
It needs to be school appropriate, because I’m wearing to a school costume dance. Must be appropriate.
