"Few creatures of the night have captured our imagination like vampires.
What explains our enduring fascination with vampires? Is it the overtones of sexual lust, power, control? Or is it a fascination with the immortality of the undead?"
Feel free to post any vampire-related content here. I'll be posting various vampire media I enjoy just as a way of kickstarting this community but don't let that stop you from posting something else. I just wanted a place to discuss vampire movies, books, games, etc.

Vampire: The Masquerade lore has Caine (as in the biblical Caine and Abel) as the first vampire, and my search for the idea that in some versions Judas is the first vampire mostly turned up results of people saying they were only familiar with it being Caine and expressing confusion about where the idea of Judas came from.
Oh, really?
Must be some show/movie I watched which made me think that.
Idk what project 90 is but it rocks that lore as well but it's not where I got it from
Here's something asserting medieval legends link both Judas and redheads to vampires.
Oh it's probably confidently asserted by Carson Flynn as the Librarian https://m.imdb.com/title/tt1146438/
But I think I remberer it from even earlier, but can't recall.
The Reddit thread also talks about there being accounts from as early as 900AD for this.
Who knows.
Kinda hard to pinpoint the source of a story.
