Vampire Collectibles – The Bloodier The Better

February 16, 2010 By: Fan

We are all familiar with the folkloric tales of Vampires that hail from Transylvania and want to “suck our blood” and how they only come out at night. These Vampires wore black cloaks and had very pale complexions and when they showed their teeth they had a pair of fangs on each side and if a human saw this Vampire creature they went off running and screaming and to protect themselves from these Vampires they would hang garlic from their neck, have holy water, rosaries and crucifixes near by and the only way to kill a Vampire was to drive a stake through his heart.

Today the Vampire has really made a come back and instead of running away, people are flocking towards the Vampire and can’t seem to get enough, so much so that Vampire collectibles are hotter than ever!

It all began with hit movies and television shows like Twilight, the upcoming Alicia Silverstone movie VAMPS, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, The Vampire Diaries, True Blood, and of course Count Dracula.

If you are a true Vampire fanatic you will want to visit Wikipedia.org for a very detailed and informative explanation about Vampires, where and how they originated and of course the many, many books and movies that were made depicting Vampires like – these to name a few: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vampire (the below are some of the titles you will find on Wikipedia.)
