"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.

And that's it. That's all the vampires memes I've got. I tried stretching it out as long as I could, but I'm done now.

I do not think it's holy water after evaporation anymore. Holiness is only soluble in liquid water (or wine) and it's highly volatile โ€” if not properly stored it will end up being normal water again after a few hours at most.

I think the holy potential of the water depends on the mass. Much like how water vapor from boiling water quickly dissipates it's heat, I think holy water vapor would be mostly mildly uncomfortable to vampires due to how lowly concentrated it is

I absolutely love this explanation.

Time has become extremely hard for vampires, after the holy water entered the water cycle.

Is that why people bless the rains down in Africa?

Joss Whedon absolutely malding that he never thought to do this on Buffy.

I wanna see this used in a vampire movie. Like a lost boys reboot, they did all kinds of home alone style vampire traps.

Tangentially related, but there's that scene in Constantine where they use a special cross to bless the water in the Fire Suppression system and then activate the sprinklers on a room full of demons.

Blade did something similar, too
