Any interesting vampire characteristics?

Question

I'm in the process of working on a Vampire/Horror story. I want the vampires in it to be traditional and something new. Any ideas for different characteristics I should give them? And also vampire names and traditional characteristics would be great too! 10 pts to whomever can help me the most!

Answer 1

PUT SOME SCARY GREENYS IN IT

Answer 2

Film it in the desert. Never seen a vampire western.

Answer 3

Traditional vampires were nothing more than corpses. They had no special characteristics other than the fact that they were thought to be possessed by blood sucking spirits and said to either rise from the grave and attack people, or far more often, just spread illness.

Answer 4

* can't see their reflection in mirrors

* the smell of garlic is offensive to them

* they are inmortal and if killed, can be revived by pouring blood on their ashes.
