We've seen major references to Carmilla and Elizabeth Bathory several times, and PoR featured a vampire that was suspiciously similar to Count Orlok of Nosferatu. Are there any other classic vampires you guys would like to see in a future installment? Myself, there are two on my list that I really would like to see.
Lord Ruthven, of John Polidori's "The Vampyre", could make for an interesting rival figure to Dracula.
Sir Francis Varney, of the popular 19th century Penny Dreadful "Varney the Vampire, or The Feast of Blood" would be a very interesting vampire character. It's also worth noting that his character is probably the most important vampire in literature, being that without him, there would be no Ruthven, Carmilla, or Dracula. Also, he is the first vampire to despise his condition, making him more of a tragic anti-hero than an outright villain. And, he actually has an explanation for how he comes back to life so much: the moon.

Well Count Orlox in SotN is supposed to be Orlok from Nosfaratu although he's just a boss, nothing really important

Count Chocula would rock.

That would also work too. And the kind that my Math tacher makes us do would be scarier than any of them!

I hope so. Wait, wtf are we doing?

I'd even settle for 'clever' references to other vampire names. Maybe a vampire Lestot (you know instead of Lestat? Get it?).

I just read a vampire novel, Fevre Dream by George R R Martin, author of the fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire if youve heard of that.. Anyway it's a great read and the vampires are sick, so I want to recommend it to you guys.

I'm actually writing a novel right now involving vampires.

Wow. I posted a legitimately serious thread, and one of the first suggestions is Count Chocula. Only 4 replies out of two pages worth actually contributed to the idea. That's the only part of this entire thread that made me laugh.
Anyway, I'd love to check out that novel when you're done, CVfan13. Could you give us some insight into what this novel is about? I myself am preparing to write a vampire novel, as a matter of fact.

Heh. I agree. Not a terribly serious response.
Someone I think suggested somewhere a game between LOI and Legends/CV3, with Mathias and/or the Belmonts versus other vampires. Mathias vs Orlok for the title of Dark Lord would be good.
Incidentally, I'm not exactly writing a vampire novel, but I am doing a plot summary etc. for a story set in the 17th century with an ancestor of Abraham van Helsing versus Dracula. But I'll probably never write it, I'm quite good at "creative writing" but never have the patience unless motivated by a coursework deadline or somesuch.

Yeah, that is pretty when you think about it.
And about my novel, I can't say that much, because it isn't a stand-alone book, its part of a much bigger series I'm planning to write, but still this book isn't a direct sequel to anything. Actually the way my series is set up, its like Castlevania, where it takes place over a long period of time, with a few small areas that are a series in itself, but everything can come together in a chronological order. Anyway, The series is set on a distance planet called Ardescopia, which is just like our Earth, except it's set in what was our medieval times, but every fantasy creature you could think of, and several more, exists there. So I guess I just saw it fit to start with this book, which happens to be one involving vampires. Anyway, I'll reviel more later, perhaps in the off-topic section in a new thread.
