The different kinds of vampires

When thinking about most modern movies, there are alot that deal with vampires. In ancient times the spelling of vampire is vampyr. The spelling from vampyr to vampire changed around the 1900s. In ancient times vampires were thought of as a devil. Some who wished to live forever worshiped the vampires where as others hated and feared the vampires and went on the hunt to kill the “beasts.” Through out history there has been said to be many ways to kill a vampire some of which are: cutting of their heads, staking them in the heart with a the wood of a holy tree, splashing holy water on their flesh, pushing them into the sun light, or staking them with silver.

Many shows and movies depict the vampire characteristics but can they really be relied upon as the truth? In the movie Blade vampires are classified as evil beings and want nothing but power. In Queen of the Damned vampires want the power but some want to come out of the shadows to show the world that they truly exist. Every person is different by human standards and vampire standards as well. in the show Supernatural vampires are depicted very differently from their movie counterparts. There are nests of vampires that want the blood of a human and they kill the humans for their meals then there are the vampires that survive off animal blood so they don’t destroy the humanity that they have left. The vampires in Supernatural are more family oriented than the vampires in the movies. The story behind vampires lives though are different then anyone may think.

Know that once every vampire was human people must look at where their lives were at when they were turned into a vampire. In the show Angel he was an outcast in his own family and he was turned and then killed his family. He regained his soul due to a gypsys curse but after that he realized that there are innocent people out there so he tries to save them. Who is anyone to say which vampire is evil and deserves to die? As stated before everyone is different and that includes vampires.

In the many books about Dracula they say he’s the purest of the vampires but in Anne Rice’s novels Akasha the queen of the damned is the purest of the vampire race. There are many stories and each are different but each one comes down the their humanity and what they bring to their race. They seem more human than most humans do at times. If thinking that a vampire is evil then what are we telling about ourselves? we each have a bit of vampire in us with the twisted thoughts and deeds that are done to eachother.

Great movies about haunted houses – Part 4

Thats a tough one there are so many great movies about haunted houses. So many that I can

t choose just one. Haunted houses are amazing and mysterious and totally spooky. Any movie with a haunted house is the bomb but its not the house it is the history of the house. A house is just building it is what goes on inside the building that makes it spooky.

Like the residents that reside there whither they are dead or alive.

The bloodier the history the more haunted the house.

Like if the house had been owned by a demon worshiping clan. Or if violence deaths had taken place there. Or if pieces of the house had been taken from graveyards, morgues, old churches anywhere were violence have taken place.

If it had been built over a graveyard etc, etc, etc.

Thirteen ghosts would fall under a lot of this examples I have stated above. The man who built the house was a demon worshiping loony. Then there was the violent deaths that had taken place there. Most of the ghosts had been transfered there by the loony mentioned above. Okay so there is no graveyard, morgues or old churches. It had to do with demons or at least opening the door to the demon world and the basement was nothing but a maze containing ghost being held against their wills.

A lot of people died in this unique house but not by the spirits who actually died in the house because not one of those ghosts died in the house they were transfered there but they did have violent deaths.

Everyone involved had a bloody history some bloodier then others.

What really made it haunted was that it was a gateway to hell and damnation and it was created by someone who thought they could control what would come out the other side.

The sad thing was that he hadn’t been able to control things on his side of the gateway and he played the ultimate price which was death and everything he had worked to accomplish fell apart.

It was sad the way he used his own flesh of blood.

He used his cousin and his cousin’s wife which was one of the ghosts he had capatured to power his gateway and it was the love for his cousin’s children that made him give himself to the darkness which was trying to escape into our world.

And the pain there was so much pain.
