Man, Dracula's Ball is retarded enough without the "actual" draculas.

Quite frankly, I blame Anne Rice for this shit. Including Twilight.

Vampires have been innately homoerotic since they were reinvented by Gothic horror authors. The book Carmilla, which may have directly inspired the creation of Dracula, had lesbian overtones that are incredibly obvious from a modern perspective. Some people speculate that Bram Stoker himself was a self-aware but closeted gay man.

tl;dr Blame the Victorians.

>In a way it was the mores of Stoker's day which dictated that the Count's evil should come from outside, because much of the evil embodied in the Count is a perverse sexual evil. Stoker revitalized the vampire legend largely by writing a novel which fairly pants with sexual energy.

>The Count doesn't ever attack Jonathan Harker; in fact he is promised to the weird sisters who live in the castle with him. Harker's one brush with these voluptuous but lethal harpies is a sexual one, and it is presented in his diary in terms that were, for turn-of-the-century England,
pretty graphic:

>The girl went on her knees, and bent over me, simply gloating. There was a deliberate voluptuousness which was both thrilling and repulsive and as she arched her neck she
actually licked her lips like an animal, till I could see in the moonlight the moisture shining on the scarlet lips and on the red tongue as it lapped the sharp white teeth . . . . Then she
paused, and I could hear the churning sound of her tongue as it licked her teeth and lips, and could feel the hot breath on my neck . . . . I could feel the soft, shivering touch of the
lips on the super-sensitive skin of my throat, and the hard dents of two sharp teeth, just touching and pausing there. I closed my eyes in a langourous ecstacy and waited—waited, with beating heart.

>In the England of 1897, a girl who "went on her knees" was not the sort of girl you brought home to meet your mother; Harker is about to be orally raped. and he doesn't mind a bit. And it's all right, because he is not responsible. In matters of sex, a highly moralistic society can find a psychological escape valve in the concept of outside evil: this thing is bigger than both of us, baby.

From Stephen King's Danse Macabre, a book on analyzing and writing horror.

Sexualized vampire mind.

>>17541

No fucking shit dumbass, that's the whole point.

Those aren't vampires. Calling them vampires is like calling me an alien if I wore fully black eyed contacts, painted my skin green and went around shoving rods up peoples asses.

I stopped at

>gay vampires

and

>Philadelphia

>>17543
No need to be rude.

>>17541
That's rather tame by Victorian standards. Or let's say by Victorian porn standards.

Orlok here, being awesome.

>>17545

I was more talking about that whole culture is pretty much Anne Rice spawn, with shitty movies like Interview with a Vampire to blame for bad vampires in MODERN times.

>>17549
'sup, bro?

>>17549

ah Orlok, the walking penis.

>>17551
Why is it always dicks with you?

>>17545
If you did that, 'alien' isn't what people would call you.

A robot is fine too?

>>17545
Aliens by the way, have also been always sexualized.

>>17562
Even Andalites??

>>17580

We don't mention Animorphs.

>>17580
There was the Andalite Chronicles...

>>17585
AND the Hork Bajir Chronicles

>>17580
ESPECIALLY Andalites. Oh yeah.

Betcha Lestat was the one playing at the ball.

>>17588
I don't remember them being sexualized in the Hork Bajirr Chronicles...

>>17768

Well you read an old version.

>>17769
There's more than one version?
Enlighten me.

>>17782

Duh. There are always new versions. Q'ran vs. Bible vs. Torah, for example.

Keep up with the times, grampa.

>>17540

>>17550
And then comes a story like "30 Days of Night." Or "Let the Right One In." All is not yet lost.

>>17833

I Am Legend also.
