Does anybody have anything to say about vampires? Have you ever come into contact with one? Do you believe in them? How do people become vampires? Did you know that back in the day movies with vampires showed the vampire with their front two teeth as their vampire teeth?

I always heard that vampires suck.
I'll be here all week, folks. In fact, I'll probably be here for the REST OF MY LIFE! *sobs*

Where did Sesame St. get the crazy idea that vampires like to count things?

That's actually a fairly common part of the vampire myth: a sort of obsessive-compulsive counting behavior. One traditional method of dealing with vampires was to dump a bunch of rice on your doorstep. The idea was that the vampire, when coming to you in the night, would see the rice, be compelled to count every grain, and as a result, would still be standing there counting when the sun came up.

Really? I didn't know that... I'm glad I created this thread!
I wonder how many kids watching the Count on Sesame St. understand what vampires are all about? Did the Count ever do stuff in the daytime?

Yes, I am concerned that Sesame Street may have misled many children into believing that vampires are adorable. I feel there is not enough vampire education in our public schools.

This is why there are Catholic schools.

Well, how do you teach kids how to properly identify a vampire so that they can call 911? You have so many confusing versions of vampires...
You have bats that turn into vampires and vampires that turn into bats, you have vampires with fangs on the side of the mouth, vampires with fangs on the front teeth, vampires that like to count (do even the bats like to count?), vampires that like to eat chocolate cereal, vampires that die in the sunlight, vampires that don't, vampires that die when you put a stake through their heart, vampires that you can whip with a whip, etc. It's all quite confusing, and I just want to know what the facts are about vampires without all of the propaganda and spin.

And then of course there are the sparkly vampires.
