That came just at the right time! Yesterday I first discovered this

KISS OF DEATH
--------------
by Stayka deyAvemta
(c) 1984

Here I come, here I stand
Why are you still so confident?
My cheeks are white, my heart congealed
My lips are scarlet - death concealed...

I'm getting nearer - sweet surprise
I'll fondle you with eyes of ice
My kiss of death: d'ya feel the chill?
Tonight's the night - the time to KILL...!

I'm a vampire...
I'll drink your blood until you tire
Feeling how your life decays
I'll lay red roses on your burial place

I'm a vampire...
My eyes glow with satanic fire:
My love, tonight you're doomed to die!
And so your life slips silently away...

My wicked smile tells you to hide
You won't get far - and then I'll bite
The blood pours sweetly from your veins
It's drawing liquid ruby chains...

So princely adorned you are smiling in ecstasy
When your heart stops beating I'll set you free
You're looking so pale as if you were cut out of ice
Now you're one of my people that neither suffers nor dies

Greetings...
     I'm too lazy to do all the required quoting, so I'll paraphrase instead...
  The statement was something to the effect of: Vampires are immortal. It's
  easy for an immortal to justify the death of a mortal ("Oh well, they were
  just going to die anyway..."). There's little difference between us eating
  plants and animals and vampires eating people.

     There is a difference (It's also the reason I don't eat dolphin)...
     I won't eat anything that is / was sentient.
     Plants don't fall into this category (sentience).
     Milk, honey, and eggs don't fall into it either.
     Some (most?) meats aren't sentient, either.

     Humans (except for an occasional lawyer or academic advisor) _are_
  sentient.

     Take Care, All...

Well, Mr. "Death," you've certainly proven yourself to be an 
inconsiderate, sexist bufoon.  And since you're posting to the
net... can we further assume that you are one of those asexual
geeks?

I very much doubt that you've met Nadja (who is a guest on my
system, The Enclave).  I doubt if you can tear yourself
away from the dim, flickering glow from the feeblely firing
neurons behind your eyelids.

As for the seductive vamp nip-nip-nipping at your neck... yeah,
sure... in your dreams, man.

-> I ifnd it interesting that in his notes CHris Mason states

-> that antone can do, and someone who does it should be severly 
-> punished" at the same time say he would not refuse the "Dark

While it may sound like a contradiction, I believe that if I (or anyone)
were to become a vampire, our current moral qualms would vanish. 
Or at least diminish enough so that we wouldn't try to kill ourselves in
the sun.

-> It is logical not to want to become a rotting, demonic

Logic has absolutely nothing to do with it.

AIDS is no more a threat to vampires than it is to mosquitos. One of the 
reasons why the HIV virii aren't transmitted by skeeters is that their body 
temperature is usually out of the range required to sustain the virus. 
Same with vampires.

    Interview with the Vampire
    The Vampire Lestat
    The Queen of the Damned

I think that's all of the one's written under the name Anne Rice.
There are also a bunch of erotica written under the pseudonym
A.N. Rolequare (pardon my spelling). She has another pseudonym

I earlier replied to a query of where Barnabas entered into the series 
utterly incorrectly. I had thought that the unkempt character now 
the focus of the series was Willie, who would soon find Barnabas' coffin 
while looking for treasure.

The unkempt character is Matthew, who for some reason has kidnapped Ms. 
Winters. David has been helping him, but today discovered his secret. I 
haven't seen this early footage before, and have no idea where it stands in 
relation to Barnabas.

Does anyone know if this is the 1st season stuff? Interestingly, these 
early episodes didn't get very good ratings at the time, but the acting is 
much superior to the later episodes.

Yeah, there is some parallel there. But I don't think Rice
is so much equating the Vamps as gays as she is depicting the
tremendous isolation and loneliness that many in this world
experience because they are different. It just so happens
that this experience occurs for many gays. The fact that
Lestat is passionate with other males does not necessarily mean
the emphasis is on gays. Only that the loneliness, for him, is 
offset or somehow eased by passion. The less you interact with
other minds, the more passionate you become with those you 
interact with. I guess...or maybe I'm grasping...

How's this for a plausible explanation: Buildup of porphyrin in the tissue
from extensive consumption and metabolization of human blood.

For those of you out there who don't know, porhyrin is a chemical found
in human bllod that is light sensitive.  Excessive amounts of porphyrin
in the bllod can lead to disfiguration on exposure to sunlight.  This 
condition is known as porphyria and is considered by some to be one
basis of vampire legend.  Persons with porphyria avoid sunlight, have
an aversion to garlic, and frequently have receding gums which make their 
teeth look bigger.

You sound simply electrifying.  Too bad I'm not single currently, or I'd 
do my best to charm you into my own intimate and dimly candle lit 
sepulchre.  I'm not likely to give up my "bride" any time soon though,

Are any of you out familiar with some vampire films shot in
Mexico between ~1958 and ~1964? I think there might be many,
in fact.

When I was very young, sometimes one of these movies would be
on very late at night, and I really found them scary-- they
were very atmospheric. Of course, when I finally grew up (a
painful process which I don't want to go into here :-), I had
a chance to see some of them again, and arrived at a stunning 
conclusion: they are shlocky to the extreme. Indeed, the spooky
atmosphere is all they really have going for them! But I still
enjoyed seeing them again...

Okay, so my questions are (1) how many films are there, and 
(2) what are the titles? This refers to those horror films,
almost all dealing with vampires, where they used the same
actors over and over again. I can remember a few film titles:
"Samson and the Vampire Women", "World of the Vampires", and
"Bring me the Vampire" (of course, these are the English
language titles, so they may have differed in Spanish.) As
I said, these movies were done around 1960, and IMHO are
very entertaining. And low budget.

William Andrews mentioned the threat of AIDS to a vampire, as have several 
others. It would seem to me that, even were vampires to exist (a premise
I find highly unlikely), AIDS would probably not be a real problem. The
HIV attacks the immune system of humans, destroying the ability to deal with
ilnesses of other sorts. I have never heard of other diseases being a threat
to vampires. I therefore believe that the vampires body chemistry would be
sufficiently different from that of a normal human to render it immune to
AIDS. 
Heh. Amazing how much time we spend analyzing the body chemistries and such
of mythical creatures. :)
BTW, as I am no biologist, this info could conceivably be wrong, and I
welcome comments by persons more knowledgeable on the subject than nyself.
