Sorry, I made a dumb comment based on not having read the most recent change sufficiently carefully, so have deleted it. Apologies. Accounting4Taste 16:45, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This Article

I have been making some extensive changes in the body of the article, clarifying the chronology and themes. The old version was 99% plagiarised from some film book, by the way...Colin4C 09:39, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And I've been adding a few of the weirder vampire movies. One thing: the lede suggests that Dracula is in more movies than any other character, and later on in the article he's second to Sherlock Holmes. Which is it, and who said so? I can't offer a reference or citation either way. Accounting4Taste 21:21, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Those are bits I retained from the old version of the page, which I can't verify either way...though I guess we might look at the Sherlock Holmes wikipedia page for further elucidation. As for adding weird vampire movies, good idea! And just to say to any doubters that The Vampire's Ghost (1945), which I added really does exist...It was a very low budget film by poverty row studios Republic Pictures, starring John Abbott (actor) in the title role.

Move proposal

This article already covers television, so vampires in film and television would be a more accurate title. -- Gordon Ecker 00:08, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree the article name needs to be broadened - how about vampires in visual media (which covers video games as well as film and TV). Comics can go in literature, though could go here if graphic I guess....cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 01:20, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Visual media would allow anime and manga to be grouped together, but would split video games from tabletop RPGs and LARPs. I think this would be acceptable, as, although there are exceptions (such as Kindred: The Embraced and the Buffyverse role-playing games), the tabletop RPGs generally only cross over into literature, and the video games generally cross over into anime and manga. -- Gordon Ecker 03:31, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My suggestion is Vampire fiction, which would follow Werewolf fiction. As long as this decent article on a specific genre doesn't become a "Vampires in popular culture" type list, with a huge list of every trivial appearance of a vampire in anything. Crazysuit 04:29, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Apparently Vampire fiction is a redirect to Vampire literature. The two articles should probably be merged, neither is huge. Crazysuit 04:31, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
