minus-squareTWeaKlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·7 months agoIt is a very metal title, and it’s no wonder Bram Stoker chose it as the name of his character. I still maintain that vampires = rabies, though. Biting - the main way rabies is transmitted Weak to holy water - rabies causes hydrophobia Snarling faces - rabies causes muscles to tighten, dogs who have rabies are very snarly Transforms into bats, wolves, etc - rabies is often spread by these animals Feeds on livestock - many “prey” animals primarily exhibit the paralytic form of rabies No reflection - in the past, a person was not considered rabid if they could look at their own reflection Give me any other vampire trope, I think I can relate it to rabies.
