What's the mechanism for stuff to end up in the colon from blood? Is that the liver filtering the blood or something? We didn't mention that much on class, it's possible I missed or forgot something :ohdear:

If a vampire in a story is cold, necrotic, etc, then they're all up in the domain of magic. Science need not apply :v: Similarly if a zombie plague brings the dead back to life, like in Night of The Living Dead, as opposed to Resident Evil, which while incredibly silly and unscientific, is based on people getting a disease that turns them into zombies, rather than resurrecting corpses.

Correct me if I'm wrong, Enfys, but I thought that dead cells were eliminated in a basic two stage approach. Macrophages consume dead cells, while cellular debris is able to pass through the epithelial layer into the intestines.

It was nice to have actually gruesome vampires in a movie, I thought.

Nightwatch is another good vampire movie, and I wish more subtitles were done that way. I keep meaning to watch the sequel, but haven't gotten around to it

Anyone else remember seeing that Stephen King short story turned into a movie ( I think), where the vampire was hideous and was urinating blood into a toilet? Movie ended with the main guy hacking up a bunch of other vampires, only to discover they were innocent bystanders.

Thanks! The only Stephen King story I remember about blood had something to do with shitweasels. That hosed me up for a while.

Blood urinal scene must have been just before this clip. I dunno, I like the butt-ugly vampire theme because it goes with the whole "they are monsters" but I'm torn about the 'beautiful monster' concept of them being gorgeous but lethal.

Original Romanian vampire folk tales portrayed them more like our modern zombies. Walking corpses, rising from the grave to feast on the blood of the living. Bela Lugosi's portrayal of Dracula is what really encouraged the "handsome and charming" vampire. Dracula in the book is still very intelligent and aristocratic, but also was supposed to look more like Count Orloff of Nosferatu, but with white hair a moustache and hairy hands.

I like the idea of a monster who doesn't look like a monster. I'm fine with the modern portly of vampires as beautiful and seductive creatures, but not to the point where they sparkle in sunlight.
