OK, here's is a little game i thought of to enrich our knowledge about vampires or see how well we can make up a good lie to make it sound believeable, such as a fact.
It can be a real fact, or something you made up, now the object of the game is to guess if it's a Fact or just plain Fiction. then who ever guesses right its their turn to give one. etc...
We'll start with this one
-Historically, vampire skin was dark instead of the alabaster skin we see today in film. Paul Barber, author of "Vampires, Burial and Death" suggested that this is becuase suspected "vampires" were actually corpses decomposing in their graves. Skin naturally turns darker and sloughs off the bone as the body decomposes. This may account for many reports in medieval Europe of vampires "growing new skin".
Fact or Fiction?
FacT. i remember reading that while back.
am i right ?
I second the having read that...
but she got there first
yay, finally.. i get something right.
ok, here i go
is it fact or fiction that in Vampire Mythology, The Vampire is a dead, but reanimated corpse-- the body of the vampire is dead, it does not age, since only living cells grow and age.
yay
*does lil dance*
ok here's another
Countess Misty is possibly one of the most famous of todays "Vampires", she has appeared on TV shows and even in books on Vampires. She lives in America, and she is believed to be a descendant of Vlad Tepes whose name has become synonymous with the modern vampire myth.
I've heard of a Misty Rain, but i don't think she's a countess..
I'm gonna say fiction? LoL i hope im not wrong ^_^ I have see her on TV B 4 and I belive it was like a year ago or so.

it is said that in order to vanquish vampires, a wooden stake through the stake through the stomach is the most effective method
fact or fiction?
By the time i tried to get the 1 stake, into the 2nd stake, they would of run off.....
someone answer.. this is the easiest fact or fiction ever..everr...ev-errrr
Great gods and gravy boats!
Fiction! He'll just get pissy, climb the stake and eat you!
Stake through the heart. NOT the stomach.
yay requiem... :o]
gooood job. ok, now it's your turn.
Thanks. :)
Fact or fiction:
In Bram Stoker's Dracula, Vlad Tsepes could not move around at all during the day; he was in the vampire's sleep while the sun was up.
I'm gonna say fiction...at least from what I remember from the movie (yeah I know I never read the book) I believe he was following the woman around in the day light....
*ding ding ding*
Dami is a wiener! Dami is a wiener!
He could walk around during the day. Sunlight merely weakened him somewhat.
Your turn. :)
YYAAAAYYYYAAAA
er...uhm...lets see....gosh I don't know...here I go again answering a riddle and I don't even have a back up in case I'm right....give me a few...but I won't take that long LOL
I'm gonna hand this one over to someone else for three reasons....
1 I don't have enough knowledge of Vamps to know what people consider fact or fiction....that's one of the reasons I'm here on this site..is to learn more
2 I honestly wasn't prepared and thought I was wrong
3 my browser is running too slow for me to research this...
So anyone else...go right ahead
ok, ill take over..
on the movie queen of the damned..marius sires lestat....as he does in history
fact or fiction?
I'm gonna say...uhm....maybe it's true, maybe it's false >;^}
MMMUUUWWWAAAHHHHHAAAAA >;^}
all the leagends you hear of, have truth to them. the thing is, ppl get carryd away with the ideas and now it seems to live in a vampiric reality that u MUST look just like the old descriptions, have i dentical weaknesses, streankths etc. the truth is, that vampires varry form indevidual to indevidual.
Diamon got it right. it is false.....Armand is who sires Lestat....
Ok...no offense Bat...It's just a game, duh...it's a game based on books/movies/games whatever out there that has to do about vampires legend or lore...
claps Diamon on da back! Well done.. darn! *Emmy stomps off and takes Requiem with her*
in many cultures vampires were the result of improper or no burrial
if you were excommunicated by the Greek Orthodox Church (Greece) would you become a vampire?
I believe I recall seeing that is true...don't remember where, but I think that's what I read...
i think its false....damn this one really stumped me
lol
It's True!!!!!!!!!
Any excommunicated soul (In Greek Orthodoxy) is condemned. They believed that if you can't enter heaven, and you won'r enter hell...you soul is trapped on earth, and will rise again as a Vampire.
HEHEHEHE
Some people need a better hobby.
For clarification......I meant the guys in Greek Orthodox church, need a better hobby. The excommunicated become Vamps....come on!
HellChildDami u should go cause u said first well thats wat i think
I shall go rest for now and try to come back with something...in the mean time Hawk if you have something go right ahead :^*
OK....Thanks Dami......
When Countess Elizabeth Bathory was found guilty of killing over 600 young girls to bath in there blood, her punishment was to be drawn and quartered...and here remains to be displayed at a crossroads to ward of evil spirits.....
Is it true....
Or is it false?
False, she was imprisoned in her castle... for life.. where she dies some 2 yrs later... (someone can have the nextQ)
Easy one....
Ture or False...
Vlad Tespes was a vampire?
Sorry... :^{ LOL I'm just trying to work on my profile some and haven't had time to research anything good....

Dami, do it again.......you can think of a better question.
Take your time...no hurries.
Might be a bit of a wait...but I'll try and get something together soon...in the meantime...if anyone has one...please go right ahead...I'll step in when I am able too :^*
Fact or Fiction:
It has been scientifically proven that the most effective way to kill a vampire is to cover it in pastrami and provolone cheese and strike it repeatedly with a large loaf of sourdough bread.
TD... Vampire Sandwich, that should look good on Subway's menu :)

alrighty, well here it goes
The Winsford vampire case involved two girls who were taken to see a doctor with remarkably similar symptoms. Both had bruising around the neck and breasts, and both were lethargic, listless and having night terrors. On further questioning, both revealed that they had a midnight visitor who came to them in the night, whom they described as a tall, handsome man with black hair and olive skin. One of the girls recognised her assailant as Lazlo Ordog, a local art student known for his eccentric habits. The Doctor tracked down and confronted Lazlo, at which point the attacks on the girls stopped and the doctor started having a series of strange attacks.
fact or fiction?
Ehh hmm...Emmy dear, I do believe you need ot get the spot off y'r glass there *big hugs and kisses* .... the answer was fiction ...
So I guess I will give this a go ...
In 1463 Vlad Tepes became Prince of Wallachia and moved to Moldavia
Ooopss, you are so right Dami!! I never had ma glasses on *woot*
I'm sorry hon, *gives Emmy and Fazed big hugs* but you are both wrong....
1463 Vlad Tepes becomes Prince of Wallachia and moves to Tirgoviste.
it was Tirgoviste not Moldavia :^*
Emmy goes of mumbling and then laughs, you got us that time! heh
LOL @ *bumps* Emmy that was cute
i answered it it was fiction.
^_^
anyone up for more fiction or facts?
Emmy why dont u give it a try???
=D
Go ahead Emmy if you've got the chance...I haven't had time to find another one yet :^*
Ehm... Emmy we're waiting on you to stump us with one ... if you've got a minute we're all fangs V--V
LOL, ok ok.. I will give it a whirl, lemme think of something real hard.... heh!
**watch this space**
hey guys =)
here's a new rule to spice things up a bit .
when you post your fact or fiction and you get an answer you have to post why or why not you think it is fiction or fact ^_^
ok enjoy
muah!
The following excerpt appeared in a short story… Was the Vampire Lestat? is this true, false or either and yea.. what Darkness says, proof of your answer please!
“Her eyes fluttered closed. In his arms he could feel the rise and fall of her chest slow. The space between each breath grew.
Louise inhaled sharply and her eyes opened wide. Her right hand rose weakly and she brushed her fingers against my lips. I tasted her blood. The tang of it upon my tongue was too much. I hissed, baring the needle fangs that death had given me, but I turned my face away so that she should not witness the beast in me”
Sorry Dami, but Darkness changed the rules slightly.. you have to state why you think it is true and give the reference to win.....
this is so romantic!!
ive never heard of this though
*scratches head*
ill wait until someone posts the answer -
but i think its fiction because this is too romantic to happen in real life.
Honestly I don't know, I've never read it, and haven't had time to look it up, just guessed, but give me some time this evening to and I will, in the meantime if someone CAN support or disprove it go ahead, :^*
Ok, i have managed to get a little time now to research this, and i have found it to be TRUE it is an excerpt from the story of "Ghost of Albion: Illusions"
it can be found at http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/vampires/newstory/goldenbenson.shtml
And yes DB it is very romantic ... and very sad :^( *sniff sniff*
>;^}
well i found it on a website by typing in the main question and thats y i think its true but it dont count ^_^
You are wrong madbeau, Lestat is not the Vampire in that particular story. I need the name of the Vampire please!
You are right, I mis read the question, and as I have already posted where to get the information I see no need to repost it. So it is now y'r turn Redeemer :^}
Neigel, you should have stopped while you were ahead LOL
