One thing all vampires have in common is a set of supernatural powers and abilities that set them apart and make them exceptional. They can be figures of horror, romantic outsiders, or even a comedic presence, depending on their perspective on life and the way they believe they fit into a world overrun by humanity. They can embody everything from death and destruction to a tortured desire for intimacy and redemption.
Vampires are endlessly flexible creatures that enable people to metaphorically examine all sorts of scenarios. They’re always lurking in the shadows, ready for their next close-up - and it’s clear why. Although zombies, witches, and other supernatural creatures often share the spotlight with them nowadays, vampires just won’t perish. While the frenzy around them from a few years ago has largely calmed down, vampires are still a constant presence in pop culture. Vampires have become a cultural mainstay.
