>>5920740>DraculaI was reading Night's Black Agents rpg (it is a cold war setting about vampire spies) they have a cool supplement which is about how Dracula (the novel) is actually a secret codex text, that uncovers a huge vampire conspiracy (the source book reprints all of Bram Stoker's Dracula with /x 4chan tier insane annotations) I am not entirely convinced by the exact vampire lore in their setting, but I appreciated the effort lol
Recently I spent a while contemplating some twist or defamiliarisation deconstructed take on vampire lore. I watched Doctor Sleep lol, the only vampiric horror in that film is the superhero BLACK INVINCIBLE GIRL CHILD she experiences ZERO THREAT, even from bohemian alternative lifestyle antiwar meditation hippies LOOK THEY MUST BE CHILD MURDERER VAMPIRES you should TRUST THE CHRISTIAN SOBRIETY CHARITY PERSON he probably will not molest you, also how they leeched the creativity from Kubrick's The Shining into the realm of repetitive overtrodden mainstream Hollywood studio production imaginative undeath, but actually the basic source material is sort of interesting. I liked the vampire cult name, The True Knot, also I liked the idea of vampires as inhaling a psychic incense (not blood, psychic vapour leeched from the pain and fear of gifted individuals) whilst the film itself did not do a convincing horror portrayal of it, I think the idea has some potential. Ok I admit I mainly watched the film just to see the hot lady from Dune wearing a silly hat, I was really curious. I like an unusual twist versus the typical vampire fang gang lol, like in Byzantium (they walk in daylight and feed with lengthened nails) the Lost Boys (which when I saw it actually struck me as more of a film like Home Alone or the Goonies lol, only superficially about vampires) had an unusual thing where the vampires are made from this strange old wine bottle etc, and they have this strange levitation power. I was scouring tvtropes for some unusual or less familiar vampire archetypes, I really could not find much
