[edit] Project: audios
Project: Twilight (mentioned in this article) has had at least two sequels from Big Finish, all featuring the same central vampire character; I don't have the details close to hand at the moment but they'll be on the Big Finish website.--The Brain of Morbius 02:57, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Haemovores
Do they qualify as vampires? What about the Ogri? Daibhid C 14:24, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- I think the haemovores are worth mentioning, esp. Jean and Phyllis are fairly stereotypical vampires. I can't quite remember what ogri do off the top of my head so I'm not sure about them Tim! 14:31, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
Not literally though of course, though I take your point, they're non-humanoid aliens, which I think would put them in the same category as the Martians from war of the worlds, vampiric, in the sense that they are haemovores, perhaps but not vampires in the classical sense of the word, which I would say is as much dependent on the concept of undead, or at the very least transformation to an unnatural state. (By unnatural I don't mean to imply supernatural necessarily, but merely as opposed to their natural state). The Haemovores however do fit this this definition imo, being able to transform their victims, and should definately be included in this article. Not to mention their weakness to crosses (which is explained in story as a weakness to faith) and other similarities to classical vampire lore.Number36 02:21, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
