They come from Transylvania

Although New York City is the melting pot of all vampires.

Honestly Van Helsing is close to one of the most accurate of Hollywood vamp portrayles. An even combo of Blade, Van Helsing, and 30 Days of Night, basically sums up vamps...don't listen to that Twilight stuff though, i can even explain how incorrect that is...

Actually the legend of the vampire came from Dracula a real guy who had a forest full of iron spikes in front of his castle when a messenger come to tell some one was coming to visit, he put the bodies of the messenger on the spiikes and let them slide down slowly. what a welcome mat or what yuck! And rabies play into the part was well, if an animal is infected and bite a human that person start to act oddly staying awake at night and attacking anyone how comes near. Rabies eat away at the brain tissue so the animal or human acts out of nature intended. this it before they understood rabies and the vaccine that could provent it.

Wikipedia: "The word werewolf is thought to derive from Old English wer (or were) and wulf. The first part, wer, translates as "man" (in the sense of male human, not the race of humanity). It has cognates in several Germanic languages including Gothic wair, Old High German wer, and Old Norse verr, as well as in other Indo-European languages, such as Sanskrit 'vira', Latin vir, Irish fear, Lithuanian vyras, Spanish viril and varon, and Welsh gŵr, which have the same meaning. The second half, wulf, is the ancestor of modern English "wolf"; in some cases it also had the general meaning "beast." An alternative etymology derives the first part from Old English weri (to wear); the full form in this case would be glossed as wearer of wolf skin. Related to this interpretation is Old Norse ulfhednar, which denoted lupine equivalents of the berserker, said to wear a bearskin in battle." There are also other thought origins, which you can find at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werewolf#Etymology
