History OurVampiresAreDifferent / WebOriginal

* ''Website/CollegeHumor'' lampooned this trope in their video "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdD0jbsIg8k Vampire Reunion]]". It shows in a very humorous manner the inherent problems this trope makes with creating any sort of IntercontinuityCrossover with more than one series that includes a vampire. Among the vampires featured are [[{{Dracula}} Count Dracula]] (as the leader, naturally), [[Literature/TheTwilightSaga Edward Cullen]], [[Series/TrueBlood Bill]], [[Series/SesameStreet Count Von Count]], Film/{{Blacula}}, Series/{{Angel}}, and [[Advertising/MonsterCereals Count Chocula]]. Even the assorted {{vampire hunter}}s waiting to strike in the next room (Series/{{Buffy|TheVampireSlayer}}, Film/{{Blade|Trilogy}}, and Film/VanHelsing) can't agree on what methods they should use to kill the vampires. It also carries shades of YourVampiresSuck, since Dracula calls Edward out on the fact that he doesn't have fangs, and Edward in turn states that at least he doesn't look like Angel, who has a monstrous true form.

* ''WebAnimation/MurderDrones'': The Disassembly Drones are essentially robotic vampires, given they possess limited VoluntaryShapeshifting, bat-like RazorWings, SuperStrength, and an incredible HealingFactor. They are also so vulnerable to overheating that direct sunlight can break them and they need to drink the oil of Worker Drones in order to regulate their temperatures. That last one is implied to be an intentional design flaw [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness meant to make the Disassembly Drones self-destruct once they've disassembled all Worker Drones]] given that not even the frozen planet that the series takes place on can keep their tempratures down.

* In ''WebVideo/ForeverSucks'': Many of the standard Western vampire tropes apply to main character Izabel and other vampires in this series—they drink blood (duh), [[WeakenedByTheLight burn up in the sunlight]], are biologically immortal, and appear to have SuperStrength and lightning reflexes, among others. Instead of lying prone in a coffin, however, Izabel sleeps upside-down like a bat, and she and other vampires are capable of telepathic MindControl. Also, it's reasonable to think they're not affected by crosses, given they live smack dab in the UsefulNotes/{{Philippines}}, one of the only two overwhelmingly Catholic countries in Asia -- if crosses affected them, they'd have all either died long ago or else fled to literally any other Asian country (except UsefulNotes/TimorLeste, the other overwhelmingly Catholic Asian country). Their irises can also turn red (or at least Izabel's does).
** Notably, they appear to exhibit more of the abilities and habits of generically-Western vampires, instead of being like indigenous-Filipino vampire equivalents, like the ''aswang'' or ''manananggal''.

* ''Website/TaerelSetting'''s vampires are pretty much living people infected with a virus that turns them into powerful, but sun weak vanpires, but without the other tradianal weaknesses. They are unable to drown or freeze, but can be killed many ways you can kill a human being. They can do from being shot in the head, stabbed though the heart, bleeding to death sickness and ect.

** ''A Touch of Glass'' concerns a vampire that is a demon who constructs an iguana-like body from broken glass.
** In ''A Word of Warning,'' vampires are sapient, anthropomorphic vampire bats, and are a natural, rather than supernatural creature.
** In ''My Grandfather Demanded I be Cremated,'' the narrators grandfather finds out his wife was a Strigoi Voi, and therefore the narrator, who developed cancer, will rise as a Strigoi Mort if he isn't cremated.
** In ''I was Trapped in a Basement for Ten Years,'' a kidnapped child is fed on by something that claims to be "better than a vampire," who scratches his throat open with a claw to drink, rather than fangs.

* ''Website/ChannelAwesome'' is a wildly popular review website for almost all forms of popular media, and they have a show called ''Vampire Reviews,'' in which the Maven of the Eventime (roommate to WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick) reviews anything and everything to do with vampires. She will go into [[ShownTheirWork well-researched and explained]] detail as to how this trope applies to the specific franchise's vampires, what this has to do with the given work's era's more popular style of depicting vampires, and the actual origins. She's a known trooper, and will often explain the earliest known variants of vampire tropes present in the works she reviews. For instance, when she reviews ''Film/Underworld2003'', she explains how it was what popularized the ''vampires versus werewolves trope'', but states that ''TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade'' actually did this before them, but that the ''original'' instance of the trope was in ''Film/AbbottAndCostelloMeetFrankenstein'', but ''also'' how in the earliest known Eastern European (this is the same area of the world that houses Transylvania) lore, the rivalry was nonexistent, because vampires were originally undead werewolves.

* ''Website/TheFederalVampireAndZombieAgency'': Vampires are biological creatures and vampirism is caused by a virus of the rabies family. As such, vampires are not immortal (though very long-lived), have reflections, can’t be killed by stakes in the heart (in fact, they don’t use the heart at all), crosses or holy water (but can be drowned), have no problem with silver or garlic, and can’t turn into any animal. Only fire, beheading and sunlight kills them. They don’t burst into flames by sunlight, it just causes them a serious of seizures that would eventually kill them and they can only sustain themselves on human blood.

* {{Website/SCP|Foundation}}-[[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-742 742]] is a mutagenic retrovirus that transforms humans into vampire-like creatures. They bite their prey with a paralyzing venom, and instead of feeding on blood they drain stem cells from their victims' bone marrow, which allows them to become biologically immortal.

* Daria Cohen's ''WebAnimation/TheVampair Series'': Getting possessed by dark magic can turn you into one. However, this doesn’t turn Missi into a full vampire [[spoiler: since casting the cane away turned her back to normal. There’s also the fact that sunlight won’t kill her, but it ''does'' hurt like Hell for her. In addition, she doesn’t need to sleep in a coffin and seems to still have her reflection]] unlike Duke.

* There are several {{Creepy Pasta}}s about vampires.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALYLUMYZrK4&list=PLMlsxJWSPj4h3zoGa2xavmO3FcF29nCf6 Sheigala: Vampire Business Women]] has many examples of this, including;
** a deadly aversion to lavender, which will literally blow them up.
** eating the flesh of their victims, instead of just sucking blood.
** giving explosive birth to their young, who emerge from eggs.

* In ''Roleplay/DawnOfANewAgeOldportBlues'', Daigo gains a superpower that turns him into a vampire in all but name- his physical abilities are enhanced at night, and only become more powerful when he feeds on blood. When exposed to sunlight, rather than turning to dust, he is put in a lot of pain, and cannot use his vampiric powers.

* ''LetsPlay/AfterlifeSMP'': The Vampire origin (held by Scott on his second life) grants the ability to drink blood from others, a couple FlashStep-based powers, and numerous buffs during the night; however, the player takes extra damage from wooden weapons and burns in sunlight (added after the developers found a way to make it so the game wouldn't be unplayable in this condition; previously, it merely weakened the player).[[note]]Oli technically also held the origin in his seventh life, but it's very glossed over.[[/note]]

* [[http://www.fictionpress.com/s/3038718/1/Catacombs_of_New_York Night Hunters]]. The vampires in these books, accumulate resistance to sunlight the longer they live, can live practically eternally, unless killed, have no weaknesses to garlic, or individual religious objects, cannot be killed unless with silver through the heart or beheading, don't evaporate once killed, burn a pint of blood every six hours and can turn into near 9 feet tall armored monsters with a split lower jaw.
