There was a show on on Thursday on the Sci-fi channel about vampires. Did anyone else see it?? they were making us look like fools or murderers...they even stated that the "psyhic vampire" was the most dangerous, as to the fact that they feasted off of "life" energy to the point where it would cause death....do u agree with this???
Unfortunately anything even vaguely off mainstream is usually portrayed as "bad" "evil" "dangerous".
Go look at the website for the exorcism of Emily Rose
whathappenedtoemily.com
They make out like anything to do with the practice of magic means you are food for the devil. Come on now.
thats true...it was interesting...the movie was pretty good...i saw it last week...but yeah...they stated that the psychic vampire was more dangerous than the blood drinking vampire....i found that interesting...
once again as i have said in the past people fear what they don't understand
I missed that damn! But I'll comment anyway. Ppl on the outside view vampires in a fictional way due to the media, movies etc. So I can imagine the shit they said and showed on us. They aren't making us look like fools, they're making themselves with these silly images and made up rules. Like the whole garlic thing...lol
so true. People reject the unknown out of fear of what might happen if they just accept whatever it is as a possible reality.
Hollywood loves to make all magic into a real head turner if you catch my drift..... They generalize pretty much everything into some predictable stereotype.
*cough*
it's the SCI-FI channel!!! they show things like that... the paranormal etc.
prove vampirism to me..........
none of you can say "we" it's ridiculous.
Agreeing with Gorey.
Ignore television, its bad for your brain and your wellbeing.
OK... Definately missed it... then again I don't get that chanel! But anyway... that's so sad.... I mean I understand that energy 'drinking' can reach an extreme... but if you suck all the energy out of someone the person will fall into sleep not die... you're drawing out energy not his soul!
I didn't see it! But I have to say that ignorants are very dangerous but even most dangerous are those that have little or wrong knowledge!
Well, the best way for nobody to get upset about things is not to watch television.
We only have the capability to watch DVDs, we dont other watching TV,a nd haven't even tried to tune the channels in... its like trying to get a million people to agree with the opinions of one team.
URGH.
Thats the sort of opinion that really doesn't help anything.
Same here echo....I only do movies...Most channels don't interest me anyway so why bother!
Exactly. Selection is better for the mind, rather than useless rubbish.
Anyway.
I ca't believe that this has gone back to the "oh mortals are so crap" arguement. I dont see how that will help any of us at all.
That was such a callow attempt to be cool from his/her behalf!
TV is the tool of the mass mind manipulation.
It is designed to 'programme' peoples minds to operate within a certain range of opinion sepcified by the 'controllers' of said media.
who owns the media?
go have a look at the production company of the show, the executives...determine their motives from their business interests.
think for yourself and don't allow your conciousness to be led by fantasy.
but...on topic...
which is more dangerous 'in theory'?
Drinking blood from anyone can get you a whole host of unwanted diseases, some fatal.
untrained or inexperienced bloodletting can kill surprisingly quickly.
psy 'feeding' possibly can kill, but it is not only 'vampires' that can perform such feats. Many dark practitioners of magicks and psionics can take energy from people and can attack and cause fatal shutdown of the energy systems.
so, what was their point?
didnt see the show and agree with mykill. therefore the media gives it some bad publicity.
That's totally right Stabb but they usually don't have a point as long as the program attracts more people!
Just ignore the things on the mainstream, they are all lies... well mostly anyways. I am not a murderer unless I have to be, and I am in no way evil. Just be you and get over they shit the humans say.
Well, i don't normally watch much tv..i'm usually to busy..i prefer reading anyway...but i saw it and decided to watch...the people that they chose....it was almost totally wrong...maybe if you check out the sci-fi website...u might be able to find out about the show. i don't believe anything with the media...they are all puppets in this world anyway...but
it was interesting..i guess on how people view us...
I saw it and was disgusted because I am a vampyre but I am not a murderer. When I feed I never kill because I use a donor. Theyre just stupid closed minded people who lable things bad or evil because they dont care enough to do their research. Or if the do research they only poll a small group of people if that. They probably just look at old murder cases that envovle the occult.
Movies, shows, and the like are designed to interest the largest audience...
If the audience that would be the largest was christian...the program would be anit-vampiric...and vice versa

Don't listen to me, I'm insane.
I gree with mykill.... people are afraid of what they dont understand. I am not saying that I agree in any way that its all "evil" or "bad" but we have to let others get used to the idea that there is more to life than their "good book" and their "god"
lunarvampiress, you are ugh!!! You say we aren't vampires and whatnot but yet your name clearly states that you think you are and believe in them, so why must you put people down?
A show like that...it makes you wonder what they will put out next *laughs*
aren't there cases of pyschic vampires draining people before? Granted they were weaker people.... most people replace what is taking by a psychic vampire almost as soon as it's taken, but what about if there's a bunch of them ...
not saying the show was right, just saying if you are a psychic vamp beware... there's cases (unproven of course) of consumption (we all remember that people used to die from it left and right) being caused by psychic vampires....
I didn't see it, sounds like a show I saw a few years back on UPN.
I'll hope that not many people saw it or take it seriously.
Sounds like someone wanted to do an exploitation/ tabloid piece, becuause we all know the media doesn't care about the truth. Just cares about what sells
lets see tv .....useless box which is only good for making ppl fat and running up the elctric bill ....so my question is why watch ....?
sometimes i think...that the tv..is controlled by aliens...lol they have come to ruin us...
lol Aliens lol
lunarvampiress
so she thinks that they dont exist.. why is this person here.
I know i am not a vampire but i dont denide that they exist.
if you don't believe in vampires in some form or another...why be on this site???
I never seen this program but I definitly think that it sounds like they blew everything way out of proportion!
I have heard that psychic vampires could kill, but I don't think it is true... I don't think human energy can run completely out... Maybe if there were a whole bunch of energy hungary vampires... I only take what I need to survive... I don't know all the truths, thats just what I believe...
ummm i hate that and do not agree wit hit at all!!! not all people are like that
of course not all people are like that...vampire, human, whatever...that would make this world even more dull and boring....
without the box to worship, where would this world turn to? if everyone started using their brains...this world might actually be interesting and scary...
Arvalin. . . . that is the best point here yet! I know what i believe in. Others should too. Those who choose to not open thier minds and think outside the box are only hurting themselves.
djsquared..thank you for agreeing.
shows like this and movies and what-not are fun...but its sad when ppl make that into a reality...there is a world out there..beyond the box...opps...sounding like a preacher at a pulpit
sadly, the children of night have always been made out as monsterous beings. its a fuckin shame.
Can anyone think of a time...movie, book, story...wear the children of the night ....weren't so evil??? minus anita blake...they are evil and "nice" in her stories...
WTF!!! THATS REALLY WRONG I AM A PYSHIC VAMPIRE!im not dangerous at all.....lol F U SCI-FI!!
People with our beliefs are always givin a bad rap.All things different are feared to be the worst
Who was it that said "The first power is the Governmant, but the Media keeps it running"?....
that quote is way to true. do you think that people would ever want to understand us? the media is nothing but lies....its sad that in the world today, that it is what people go by...
well i just say screw anything that is said on tv, people like that are crazy anyways, anything they do not understand is bad to them i swear. i take that personal, i have allways been like this, but jeez i am actually told that i am too nice. so i think they are crazy.
The vampires that volunteered the information. ...I think that they could have found better ones. The "media" just got lazy..or tried to make us look bad.
well i do agree with it and if u dont then it ok but i agree to a point cause if u drain life from someone then i think thay would have no reason to go on living
actually that TV show , In Search Of : is about 10 yrs old ...so anything said on there is old and it states when it first comes on...anything said or stated on this program is opinion not fact...and the producers i=of the show have no say in what is said on the program....it was just a show for ppl who wanted insight on different unexplained phenomina
Simply put-if its dark or misunderstood, it must be "eeevil". Most of the time, its misunderstanding that causes problems-I remember seeing that show...Did anyone ever see the show "Real" Vampires exposed? Turned us all into freaks..or devil worshipers..or evil killers...oh brother...and as for psy vamps being worse...bah unto them I say!!
I enjoy watching movies and television greatly for entertainment. But for news or info you got to make sure to take it with a grain of salt. 15 years ago Phil Donahue was telling my mom Ozzy was the devil and he put subliminal messages on his tapes telling me to kill myself, now I catch her watching the Ozbournes w/ my baby sis.
I'll tell you why..
because for most of society WE are the outcasts, the ones they don't understand... and what's the instant rule about things they don't understand?
Be scared of it...
so they paint us out to be these psychotic nutcases (which don't get me wrong, some of us are, but some of them are too) and as an added bonus the people who their talking about get all upset.
A show's main goal is to be remembered... if you hated it, you'll remember it...
Im sure if you stay tuned to the Sci-Fi channel....it will be on again
people believe in good and god because the are insecure believing in themselves. everyone should just be themselves. And if you think or feels you might be evil, like myself, then shit. Thats the way it is.
The TV always protract our kind as bad. That we should be fear and put in jail. But I have not seen that show. It's something I disagree with.
nah... i dont see my kind as the most dangerous... yeah we may have that kind of power but we usualy don't kill unless ir is for a good reason... but hey i am both so double whammy for enemies
They always make things they don't understand look dangers or muderous because they can't explain it!
This is an outrage..How do they know anything about our type? They don't!! They should be put to sleep..for a very long time..by a vampire..
Gloomy...why waste the time and energy on them....they know not what they have done
A. LunarVampire if you think vampires and everyone on this site is fake then why is it princess that youre here and have name that advertises vampirism. You have no right to judge anyone here as youre a hypocrit.
B. TV is a good thing its raises our children when we dont want too and in turn our children become violent drones....
Ive got one thing to say READ A BOOK
Excellent. A book! why didn't the rest of society think about that first. I Dont ever watch tv unless its news or a good movie. The people who plop thier kids in front of the tv from when they get home after school till when they go to bed, grow up to be the one-track minded religious right republicans that put on the tv programs that make us look bad.
ok, i just read the first post, and its a good thing i didnt watch it. i am a psi and we do not kill at all! ((unless we do it forcefully)) in my own ways, i just take what i need, and thats from a lot of people at once, not one to the point of death, its a bunch of bull shit.
It is a bunch of bull...i just thought it slightly interesting..and distrubing that such is posted on the "god" box...
Books are wonderful...games...i think are fun...but the "box" is all powerful...it warps the mind...it controls the senses...it is the downfall of all kind.
Unless, you know what is false..and what is reality..which is hardly anything..
I've never seen the movie but the talk about vampires being murderers? Well, they don't explain crap about WHY they murder. My theory is that being an immortal sortof drives you mad after a while. So maybe they murder because of madness. It doesn't mean, however, that they are murderers. I don't know if you guys agree with me, I just want you to hear me out a bit.
And as Marius states is just something they want to give good ratings. People now n days like to see violence, blood n gore. If that's what the movie is about that is.
i believe children of the night do exist and that they are very sexual creatures i would truly like to be one
it goes back to peoples beliefs..what isnt in their persepctive of "norm" is wrong and evil because only people who are "norm" are good *gags*
show me a normal person and ill eat my panties
I am afriad of the "normal" people...they must really live dull lives.
Yes I did see it. I dont believe in that at all because media and so forth always say everything is bad or evil, and most of the time its not.
Well what you are talking about is actually a Energy Vampire not a Psychic Vampire...See my thread about Energy Vampires..
what we need to do is inform the masses with our viewpoint
That would be extremely hard...especially since most of the populus doesn't believe in "us"...no one would really listen
I did not get a chance to see and I'm glad I didn't. I am so dissappointed! I was hoping that it would help the mundane society to understand vampires but instead they only confirmed the myths and legends concerning vampires. I know the A & E special "Vampires" ( which airs on October 28th @ 8pm EST) will give the mundanes the truth about vampirism.
a vamp. never has to cause death in its feeding only if its stupid and doesnt know whats its doing
Okay..since we are on the subject of vampires on television....media...etc
Did anyone watch Mad Mad House in 2004? What did you think about Don the Vampire?? Real or a poser?
I want one!
Female....
With huge....
Tracks of land! LOL
well they just dont have a clue now do they lol tv is crap any way.
I think i heard some where that Hitler could have take over the world with television... given enough time.. he just may have pulled that one off..scary thought huh?
Most tv crap is just that crap ...We are what we are and people just dont understand it that is too bad..
If you are in search of vampires then this is the right place.
as i c it,we cant know of the existence of them psych vamps ,just as many dont know or belive in ours.:D
humans fear what they do not understand, and what they fear they want to elinimate or disect
no i do not agree with it but the sci fi channel always show bad third rated movies at times and i think that there r running out of things to show the public
I am a firm believer that we should read, watch, listen to EVERYTHING-yes, some of it, nay most of it is going to be crap, but you never know when or where you might run across a kernel of truth. Better to read, etc. everything, and be well informed about what is being said, than to miss something and lose it all. it is a person's right and duty to take in everything, and sort through the crap to find what is good or true-otherwise how will one ever know what they missed?
this is why i dont do tv much i only watch one tv show and its not even vampire related ..lol
the media tries to sensationalize things and make them seem so grand and so horrible ..no one has the guts to make a vampire look how they actually are .not all vamps are bad .its just how media portrays them ..and if the public didnt wanna see them portrayed as evil bloodsuckers hollywood wouldnt keep doing it lol
oh and no i obviously didnt see the show lol
what they said on that show is always portraying us as something evil and self centered; that we just feast off blood for pleasure which some of its true; but if you noticed there are some people that kill for pleasure and then say that all other vampires do that; like the one guy on there that killed an innocent; my opinion on it was it was accurate in some areas but in others very wrong; i think that some psychic vamps don't know how to control their powers ;
yeaaaaaaaa...... did not see and would not have bothered...... soooo, I dont care if you do or do not bleave in Vampires or not, but the human race has alwayse feard what they cannot explain.....
Speaking as someone who makes his living on television, I really do take offense that all TV is crap. First, That type of statement has NOTHING to do with a show about vampires.
Second, I would like to think that my time on air is spent EDUCATING people. ENTERTAINING people. Do I think I have an influance on the 35,000+ people that watch my show weekly. Sure. Should they base their life on what I say?
Only if they are incapable of independant thought. Anybody who thinks that TV spouts the end-all-be-all truth DESERVES to be led like a sheep.
I did not see the showbutI willsay something about this most people look at us and think we are freaks and are trouble makers but they do not understand us as for who is more dangerous I would say it is us the blood drinkers as we take the very thing people need to live off of lets face it if you have NO BLOOD then you will die right so what do others think about this...
I think that if you really wnat to find a vampire it is possible. many people believ that there is no such thing but I believe there is...
seen the show before all that show is one where it allows you to form your own opinion on wether what they are in search of is real or not.Now me being more than one type of vamp actually laughed at the show lol
No I didn't see it, but did you see The Secrat Life Of Vampires? Almost just as bad
Anything is Possible, if someone is constantly drained of the Prana within the body (a.k.a Mana, Life Energy, Chi, Ki, ect), it can cause a weakness within the body. Which would allow in sickness, which would cause death.
The only reason why the Psy Vampyres are reputed to be dangerous is because they can't be seen feeding, the same go for those who take the energy through emotions.
Were I, as a Sanguine have a lot harder time trying to feed do to the actual sight of me licking blood from a cut or so forth.
Remember too much of anything good can be deadly.
- Sin
human nature to avoid what you don't understand try to make everyone else fear it so that you don't have to try and understand it...people don't like learning about things they fear...
i belive phsy vamps feed how they need too to me if they happen to kill someone well...oops im not sure that you could kill someone but im not a phsy so i really cant speak i would imagine that you can drain someone of there life force which will result in death but like i said oops we have to eat too
Such simple minds everyone seems to have, Given the oppurtunity I believe I would set this world on fire and be done with this.
I guess Im only sure of one thing, I would rather believe in cold steel.
all the cutesy vampire shows come out around halloween....gee, go figure...lol- I got sucked into watching "Twisted History' Vampires" on the Discovery channel-what a waste...
me 2 it was ok --- but i think they know more than want the r telling us..
It's called entertainment and that is what its meant to be, entertainment
I did seet the piece. I viewed it in the context that it was done from the point of view of a non-believer; and two, it's T.V. It needs to be jazzed up for maximum viewership.
We are easy to find if one simply opens their mind. Psi vamps causing death is bull unless your refering to a mind's death where people just simply lose their minds because one drained that hard.
i dont think that that show is telling the truth... psi vamps cant be the most dangerous, the person who controls and tells the what to do is the most dangerous person
i dont agree i really dont like how tv makes things more worse then they are...
I have to agree that not all tv is crap, some of it can be quite educational.. however there are always going to be people who wish to make the world see their own views... however slanted or jaded their views are. We as a society have to filter out the trash from the treasures...People will form their opwn opinions.. and if they are so easily swayed by a prgram, they have no need to think for themselves.
I believe that all information good or bad is information that simply needs to be processed-that in all the bullshit you will eventually find a kernel of truth-but the fact of the matter is that unless we have proof that vampires are in the mainstream of broadcasting, all the shows are created by humans, with the knowledge that they have-so I say take all of it with a grain of salt
i think noone knows the truth about us because noone believes us if we say we are real..whats the point of explaining to them we are not evil....basically we would have to kill them after telling them
I don't agree with it. I think they say the vamps r murders and shit because they're scared. Vampires need to survive too. Humans are murders as well . I cant really explain what I'm trying to say because I'm kinda outta it right now. I just hope someone gets what I'm trying to say
humanity fears what it does not understand and that which is different from the norm of their everyday lives .
whether that be those that practice a different religion or are creatures that are not the same as the rest of the human race . so with that in mind they act to discredit and austrize those they deem different and spread false rumors and lies to make them seem evil and humanity to appear good and in the right when with mob mentality they seek to destroy what they cant understand
wolf of wolfspirits
i would love to meet a vamp But i have no opinion on the trash that they put on tv
