Vampires are a funny lot, and I'll tell you why. Besides having supernatural powers and basically being very hard to kill, vampires are what you might call focused gastronomists. Simply put, they are obsessed with food. Look, here's the deal; we all have to eat, there's no denying that. However, we don't spend our lifetime obsessing about cows and chickens - we slaughter the animals in huge factories, wrap them up in small parts and ship them off to be served as fast food. But eating for most is a simple necessity and not an elaborate art form. For vampires, the art of eating is taken to mythic proportions. They will chant rhymes and talk to their victims, and oddly enough, the victims will talk back. I guess now that I think about it, I can see why they take their food so seriously - it's like working in a slaughterhouse and a youth club all at the same time. That's a pretty interesting (disturbing?) concept.
