Re: What happens to a vampire if it starves?

It was my understanding that traditional vampires of folklore and legend (not literature) didn't have to drink blood, they just liked to.

Re: What happens to a vampire if it starves?

If vampire can't find a victim their fangs turn blue. Then they search the iternet for clips of Sam Peckinpaugh movies.

Re: What happens to a vampire if it starves?

Wasn't there a movie a few years -- I wanna say DAYWALKERS -- where not getting blood turned the vamp into a mindless beast, a condition that could not be reversed? I thought that was an interesting...
