I guess a better question may have been:
Would you suck blood to live forever, and if not, what would you suck for what?

But he also is a vampire as well. He is the Daywalker, the one superpowered vampire.

I have only saw the movie. Though the movie has never shown him drinking blood or doing any of those other vampiric things. He isn't particularly good with women, either.

Remember the 'antidote' he was taking? That was to prevent his craving for blood by providing the nutrients he needed. If he didn't take that, he would have needed fresh blood.

Now my question is this, if a stake to the heart will kill a vampire, why do none of them wear a chain shirt strong enough to stop a pointy wooden object? You can probably hide it under other clothes anyway.
The only issue would be that there's so few places that offer night skiing  But if I had some sort ability to turn into a bat and fly and the ability to see in the dark, this would not be a problem.

Because that would prevent the vampire from being killed by the hero in the end .

Actually........he did drink blood. In the first movie after his blood was drained the girl he was trying to save made him drink her blood to save him.
Any other Vampire trivia you want to know

How could you turn into a bat with a chain shirt on you? You get crushed pretty much.

They always say the ONLY way to kill a vampire is with sunlight or a stake to the heart, why then do they go and cut off the vampires head and it dies ? They're not much better then mortals if the usual decapitation kills them (or if it doesnt how the heck are they gonna survive now ? )
Back to the question, yes i'd be a vampire, remember you don't have to suck human blood to survive and most people eat meat anyways so theres no real problem (i'd still prefer sucking blood from the breast of a nice virgin though  , ah come on it doesnt kill, just a quick nibble  )

Ways to kill a vampire (Slayer Style):
-Stake through the heart (but only wood)
-Decapitation
-Fire
-Sunlight (leads to the above)
-Bathing in holy water
Bullets don't kill vampires but they sure hurt a lot.

Different countries have different ways to kill vampires. There is no way to kill a Spanish vampire. You can kill a vampier in the US south by burying it at a crossroads. Irish vampires must be burried unde a pile of rocks to kill them. Greek vampires sit on your chest and suck the breath out of you.

What about shotguns or some other major gun ? literally blow them apart
Vamps really need to invest in some serious defensive hardware if they're going to make use of this immortality and not be snuffed out by some nutcase with too much zeal
Do spanish vampires have tans or are they pale white also ??
