Question

In Virginia, USA, I have a vampire neighbor, spiritually speaking who are the vampires? in what classification?

Answer 1

The vampires typically control the zombies and ghouls, but they don't mess with the werewolves for fear of their own safety.  Those werewolf bites sure do sting :(

Answer 2

Shadus is correct.  Good answer.

The vampire community transcends the various spiritual identities that we normally encounter.  They come in many flavors.  They are a class of themselves.

Answer 3

My understanding is that they are some strange little sub-culture on to themselves.  They seem to have enough web sites dedicated to their odd hobby.  

Answer 4

It's more lifestyle than religion if that's what you're asking.

Generally they stick to evening/night, some drink blood, some perform ritual cutting to get said blood, some sleep in coffins, most dress in dark gothic style clothes, etc. There are sub-genres in the vampire lifestyle from vampire slayers (christian counter vampirism), victims, and of course vampires.  The only ones I've had any exposure to are the blood drinking variety (Sanguinarians according to wikipedia.)  

In my personal general hierarchy of things I stick them somewhere under emo and goths.  You can read more about the specifics on the wikipedia article in my sources.

Each to their own, live and let live, but definitely not my thing.

Answer 5

no clue,VA is weird

Answer 6

I dunno, but don't worry, vampires will never hurt you

Answer 7

Do you mean the blood sucking, coffin dwelling kind of vampire or the mid 20's loser who pretends to a vampire?

First one: Fiction

Second one: Sad

Answer 8

Funny, carry garlic cloves and keep your cross handy.

Answer 9

I don't think they have any particular religious belief.  They seem more like a fraternity than a religion.

Answer 10

The living dead
