['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']
Date: 2025-05-11
What's your favorite vampire book or movie? Do you prefer your vampires to be sexy or scary — or both? I think The Hunger is my personal favorite.
Let’s begin with an overview of sexy vs. scary vampires in literature and film.
Are Vampires Sexy or Scary?

Hi! I’m Itzl!
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, etc.), we are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a PM to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!

x The famous ghost-story evening at the Villa Diodati in 1816 inspired Mary Shelley's Frankenstein - and John Polidori's 1819 novella The Vampyre.
And Byron and The Vampyre inspired @essiefox.bsky.social's new chiller, Dangerous.

x Instead of doing… That. Check out The Black Vampyre by Uriah Derick D’Arcy which is: “the first black vampire story, the first comedic vampire story, the first story to include a mulatto vampire, the first vampire story by an American author, and perhaps the first anti-slavery short story.”
