It truly depends on the mythology you're referring to. Remember that our contemporary vampire evolved from many different stories.
The contemporary vampire usually requires blood to continue living, and of course staying away from things that would kill it, which also depends on the mythology.
blood
garlic keeps vampires away
....This is it... yup! Blood is what keeps vampires strong. vampires CAN live without blood tho. Vampires LOVE Garlic btw and we can also go out into the sun, it wont kill or melt us!
Vegetarian vampires are on like a diet they eat animals and decide not to kill now this keeps them alive buy not as strong as a blood sucker as you call it these vampires feed on humans and human blood
Vampires aren't alive anywhere. A vampire is a dead body.
they never were alive
None. Vampires are not alive--they are un-dead.
Vampires are fictional creatures, they do not actually exist.
By definition, vampires are undead. There were a lot of minions in the Blade films, but they were not yet vampires, therefore, they were alive. ----
no there is no such thing as vampires its just made up only in movies
Vampires are not alive. They were in myths and they were a created character for the horrible books.
