Are Vampires Necessarily Evil? - Neil Benson

Let's assume that vampires, the undead kind, are real. When I first started writing Unholy Embrace, I was told by my editor vampires are by definition "evil." My response was to posit a question. If a sixteen-year-old who had never committed a mortal sin, and very few venal ones, was turned by a vampire, why would this person become evil? The response I received stated that if a vampire took the life, or the blood, from another person that made the vampire evil.

However, in recent years, we have seen movies such as Underworld, where the vampires ostensibly did not consume human blood. The vampires in the movie Underworld were a pretty rotten bunch and it would be hard to make a case they weren't evil. For some time, vampires have been able to obtain human blood from blood banks. Ergo, no need bite someone in the neck, lethal or otherwise.

So, if a young woman or man, living a virtually "pure" life, was turned into a vampire at the present time, there would be no need for this person to take blood from a mortal. Clearly, if a vampire kills, then the vampire is evil. However, this would be true of a mortal who commit murders. Without committing any acts that harm a mortal person, it seems to me that the vampire cannot necessarily be considered evil by solely by being one of the undead.

I'm sure that many people would tell me that I have oversimplified the issue or question. If I have, then I would like to hear the "complete" explanation of why a vampire would necessarily be considered evil.

Unholy Embrace - Mortal Man Loving a Female Vampire

Frank, a mortal,  thinks heavily on an emotional commitment to his girlfriend Nessa, a vampire.

"After leaving her apartment, I was outside walking toward Central Park within five minutes. If I took too long to decide, our relationship would end. Nessa had been lonely for over four hundred years. She made a choice about me, perhaps impulsively, but now I knew how much I meant to her. She would be devastated if I rejected her, and I had no wish to be the cause of such pain. But I also needed to consider the risks involved.

I walked along the outside of the park until I found myself in front of the Museum of Natural History. For all the information it contained, it didn't have displays about creatures the visitors were better off not knowing. Nessa, werewolves, and demons didn't exist in any of the museum's catalogs. However, she was also a woman, one that aroused the strongest feelings I had ever experienced. Should I make a commitment based mostly on feelings? I was always so rational. To go with her was to step into the unknown and far beyond my comfort zone.

When I looked at my watch, I saw five hours remained until dawn. For once in my life I decided to go where my heart led. I walked south until I hailed a cab, and in a few minutes I was back at her apartment. The strong need I felt to be with her contrasted with how I felt two hours ago. Time is not measured in minutes or hours but by the manner in which we experience our lives. When I stood in front of her door, I knew my decision."

Vampires, Vampires, and more Vampires.

 The film industry first made a vampire movie in 1922. In Nosferatu, the vampire was the hideous looking creature on the left. Was this creature a human being at one time? Possibly, but he's not one of us anymore. He is a Vampire, and the "V" does not stand for victory. At least, not for us.










The gentleman on the right is Bella Lugosi who played Dracula in the 1932. This Dracula wasn't a hideous looking monster. Rather, Dracula is sly, insidious, and terrifying only when he needs to be. This is a vampire that is evil. The movie reeked with blatant overtones of sexuality even though everyone kept all their clothes on. It was all done in high camp.
               





There is no doubt that the creature on the left is a Vampire. Christopher Lee may have looked structurally human, but the eyes and fangs tell us that you didn't want to be in this creature's house after dark. I wouldn't want to be in this vampire's house during the day.

 A new genre of vampires arose with Anne Rice's novel, Interview with the Vampire In 1976.   Tom Cruise as Lestat is an urbane and sophisticated vampire. But beneath the surface lies a narcissistic and evil creature people came to know and love.He fears ennui more than as much as he fears the end of his existence.

             
In twilight, Anne Meyers presents a new vampire. Edward puts on sunglasses in the middle of the day and lives in a community in which cloudy days are the norm. Edward:Cullen says he is a vampire, and demonstrates superhuman powers, but so does Clark Kent. When I was doing the research for this post, I tried, but could not find, a single picture of Robert Pattinson with his fangs exposed in a movie sequence. More than a few people criticize the Twilight series many criticize as "humanizing" the vampire a bit too far.But, these novels were never written for adults, even though millions of adults read them.Twilight was named one of Publishers Weekly's Best Children's Books of 2005. Yes, one of the best children's books.  I hope that the next vampire that dominates the big screen is in a movie made for adults.
