they need blood to sustain their undead bodies a.ka. they need it to stay alive

Only a minority of vampires are blood suckers. The defining trait of a vampire is something that steal life energy. This has been accomplished in many difference ways by many different types of creatures.

.........................................................

Added on............................................

Vampires are considered dead, undead or the living dead....

As such they cannot create something called HEMOGLOBIN (or haemoglobin), this is created within living creatures and is the main part of red blood cells...

(They drink blood to obtain hemoglobin.)

This is used to transport the necessary items to the rest of your body, for example your muscles.

Vampires will become worn down, drained, movement may suffer and may even appear ill if they do not receive the sufficient materials from the red blood cells.

also, because they are undead, they don't have a heart beat which means that they don't have blood. and even the undead need blood to survive. so they needed to find a way to get that blood and they found humans.

Do vampires have blood?

Yes although it might not be the nice scarlet fluid you're familiar with. A vampire is a dead body and its blood is in a similar sorry state. Just because a vampire eats blood doesn't mean it doesn't already have some. A vampire need life-energy not blood. The fact that, for some vampires, the life-force comes with the blood is only coincidental.no! vampires don't have blood! there the people of the living dead dead people don't have blood! and plus if they did have blood don't ya think they wood may b bite themselves if they were hungry enough?!that is why they drink blood. so they can have blood in them. but it dissipates fast so they need to drink often.AnswerI don't think vampires would have the blood that we are more familiar with (scarlet and runny) because wouldn't that mean they'd tear each other apart, because if they crave blood, they'd drain themselves dry in seconds. AnswerActually since vampires are fictional characters that are written from various authors...it depends. See the related link for a website breaking down popular vampire stories and you will see most of them do have blood.
