Vampires


Since i was a child im very interested in this creatures of the night.

At first I started watching movies about them, which little by little I was delighted and then I was buying books on their stories. I like so much all the darkness around this mystery the characters, all the passion, the seduction That They have.


Vampires have existed, exist and will exist ... as long as humanity exists. Hidden in the night and protected by the human fear their very existence, surviving among us or at least that is what is rumored. They are a living legend for centuries.

Well acording to the Folkore of Some Countries These nasty creatures feed on blood of Others Living Things for stay alive. In Eastern and aboriginal cultures american Considered the vampires are like a demonic gods.

The most important concept of vampire Known is the prototype of slavic origin. The latter is the most widely used in both film and literature taking different variations according to each story.

The main reference for these creatures was given by the writer Bram Stoker in Dracula which gives a kind of consensus of the different characteristics possessed by these beings.

Among them are:

The fact that humans were fatal, but now they are in an intermediate state between life and death, hence they are called undead, revinientes or revived.

They feed mainly on the blood of their victims. Poseem No shade or can be reflected in the mirrors that is because they do not have souls

There is also a myth that can not tolerate garlic and sometimes also the symbols of a religious nature

They are indestructible by normal means and are extremely strong and fast. They are vulnerable to the sun (a situation that varies according to the myth) They are considered very lusty beings possess an unearthly beauty and have common traits such as pale complexion, and long tusks used to dislike their victims.

They are extremely intelligent and educated people who have a natural affinity for magic and the dark arts ..Talking about literature boom has recently emerged concerning the themes of vampires that has led many authors to write about them.

All that I like in this current are the books of the author Bram Stoker, Anne Rice and Sthepenie Meyer.

For the film give it there are a lot of films based on these things which are seen from different points of view and contextualized by the directors at different times.

Some of the adaptations I've seen are Nosferatu with the great performance from Max Schreck and directed FW Murnau

Directed by Tod Browning Dracula first with the classic Hungarian actor Bela Lugosi and then with performances by Christopher Lee after the death of the former.

The dance of the vampires with a touch of black comedy and the introduction of the first gay vampire in the film created by Polish director Roman Polanski.

Bram Stoker's Dracula directed by Francis Ford Coppola and Gary Oldman in the title role.
Blade directed by John Carpenter.

"Interview with the Vampire," directed by Neil Jordan and based on the novel of the same name by Anne Rice

From Dusk Till Dawn Robert Rodriguez /Quentin Tarantino .

Underworld, Underworld: Evolution Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, which recounts an ancient war between vampires and werewolves.

Based on the Twilight saga written by Stephenie Meyer Twilight followed by the sequel New Moon and Eclipse soon to be released later.
