Vampires!

I don't mean Angel or Spike, but in general, what do you think of vampires. Are they a Classic creature of horror myth? Or what

A) Vampires are savage killing machines, whose only purpose is to drain humans and kill them.

B) Vampires are Seductive killers, who lure their prey with sexy charm,

C) Vampires have been cursed to kill, roaming the world looking for lost love.

D) Vampires faces do not change, they only have fangs to give themselves away looking at them.

E) They cannot be seen in mirrors, go out in daylight, pass running water, and are repealed by crosses and garlic.

F) They have a long history, full of myth and tradition. They belong in family groups, such as Dracula and his brides.

G) They sleep in coffins, and it is possible to kill them when they are asleep with a wooden stake.

H) Vlad the Impaler sold his soul to become a vampire, starting the myth, because his wife killed herself, he still searches for her.

Just a short list. Anything else about Vampires that you can think off? Why do they fascinate people? What is it about them that has led to so many vampire books, films and TV series? Has any other creature of horror captured your imagination to the same extent that they have?
