As a kid I was terrified of horror movies so this is a relatively new genre for me as I've only stumbled onto it in any kind of quantity in my 30s and 40s. So, with that as a given, I would offer that my vampires have to: * Drink Blood. I don't particularly care whose. * Be locked to the dark. Daylight is pure poison. * Can't bear children. They are not nurturers in any fashion and I think one of the main frustrations is the bridges of their old lives burnt and unattainable. The sin, if you will, is being paid for by their lack of ability to grow, learn and change past their now more predatory and carnal natures. * Must be carnally hungry. Sex drive is very high. It's the conflict they still have with their lust for food. Do they screw it or eat it? * They cannot be perky. They are depressed.
