CHE SIGNIFICA VAMPIRE IN INGLESE

Vampiro

Vampire

I vampiri sono esseri mitici che sussistono alimentando l'essenza vitale delle creature viventi. Nei racconti folcloristici, i vampiri non morti spesso visitarono i propri cari e causarono guai o morti nei quartieri in cui abitavano quando erano vivi. Indossavano i tondini e spesso erano descritti come gonfiori e di volto rossiccio o scuro, notevolmente diversi dal vampiro spaventoso e pallido di oggi, che risale agli inizi del 1800. Anche se le entità vampiriche sono state registrate nella maggior parte delle culture, il termine vampiro non è stato diffuso fino all'inizio del XVIII secolo, dopo un afflusso di superstizione vampiri nell'Europa occidentale da aree in cui erano frequenti le leggende dei vampiri, come i Balcani e l'Europa orientale, Furono noti anche con nomi diversi, come vrykolakas in Grecia e strigoi in Romania. Questo aumento della superstizione del vampiro in Europa ha portato a ciò che può essere chiamato solo l'isteria di massa e, in alcuni casi, ha portato a cadere i cadaveri e alle persone accusate di vampirismo.

Vampires are mythical beings who subsist by feeding on the life essence of living creatures. In folkloric tales, undead vampires often visited loved ones and caused mischief or deaths in the neighbourhoods they inhabited when they were alive. They wore shrouds and were often described as bloated and of ruddy or dark countenance, markedly different from today's gaunt, pale vampire which dates from the early 1800s. Although vampiric entities have been recorded in most cultures, the term vampire was not popularised until the early 18th century, after an influx of vampire superstition into Western Europe from areas where vampire legends were frequent, such as the Balkans and Eastern Europe, although local variants were also known by different names, such as vrykolakas in Greece and strigoi in Romania. This increased level of vampire superstition in Europe led to what can only be called mass hysteria and in some cases resulted in corpses actually being staked and people being accused of vampirism.

My favorite thing about playing a vampire is the stunts. It's just a new, fun thing to do. Especially as a girl, being able to be all dolled up in heels and little outfits and be able to kick boys' butts, I think it's a really fun, make-believe world to play.
