Vampires: Demagogues
Vampires are mythological humanoid creatures said to have a craving for human blood. Vampires extract blood from humans (usually with their protruding fangs) and drink it as a source of metaphysical energy.
Vampires have been depicted in countless folk tales, myths, novels, and films such as Bram Stoker's Dracula and Nosferatu. Some people of the modern age have engaged in the cult-like practice of enacting vampirism rituals and ornamentation (if not the explicit drinking of blood). Vampirism is not unlike cannibalism in that internal composition of the human body is ingested for energy, though vampires (unlike cannibals) usually only drink human blood and refrain from ingesting human flesh as food. Vampirism has become a 'cult chic' horror-aesthetic phenomenon and the culture of mysticism-rich places such as Transylvania, Romania and New Orleans, Louisiana (USA) invite all kinds of cultish folk storytelling and Halloween-festive vampirism lore. The allure of the vampire has made the creature the subject of numerous American horror films, and we can evaluate the socio-cultural impact that vampirism and vampire lore has had on the 'underworld mystique.' In fact, the popular Underworld cult-horror film series presents various adventures and misdoings of vampires. The vampire has arguably replaced the cannibal as the 'taboo symbol' of behavioural self-destruction.  Vampire

Possibilities

However, it's simply a possibility, and vampires seem to thrive on being clandestine.

Why do you say, "The vampire is a 'taboo symbol' of behavioural self-destruction"? I agree with vampires being a 'taboo symbol'. But why do you say, "of behavioural self-destruction"?

I'm going Lamia hunting, anyone want to join me?
Only one draw back if you join in. You'll have to pay for your own tickets to Greece.
