The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I was born in the month of October, so all things 'October' have always been close to my heart. Every time I was getting ready for my own personal festivities, the world as I knew it was decorating for Halloween. There are so many reasons to love the holiday. Even with conservatives trying their hardest to squash the idea as 'evil', it has lived on, and continues to get better with time.

So growing up, I would oftentimes receive Halloween cakes instead of the conventional birthday cake. What an awesome season- a time when you can be a witch, a vampire, a werewolf... all those things that people would raise their eyebrows at any other time of the year. You can turn yourself into a legend of myth and folklore. Not the people of today who call themselves *real* witches and *real* vampires~ but the glorious storytime characters that are supposed to be fake. That's what makes it fun. Time to be creative and imaginative. As I have explained elsewhere on Vampire Rave, Halloween is the one time a year when people can feel free to knock on anyone's door and (for the most part) be happily greeted. It's a time for community and camaraderie. People are walking the streets at night for a change, and it's really quite safe in doing so.

I've always enjoyed books and movies with gothic and horror themes. That's no novelty to a site such as this. But my interests are still my own. Like so many of you, I adore Bram Stoker's Dracula, The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Interview With The Vampire, The Lost Boys, and more. My collection is pretty vast.

Vampires: I am passionate about the fictional vampire. I like to spin tales and dive into my inventive side. Everything I conjure is an absolute fictional creation and supposed to be. Fiction has no boundaries and shouldn't. I prefer the fairytale witches and vampires over the modern-day versions. This is insanely fun and enjoyable for me to decorate, tell stories, and escape the everyday world. Halloween is a wonderful time, a magical time, and my personal favorite time. I also have the pleasure and honor of living in a place where this theme is prized and celebrated as it should be.
