Dr. Mark Benecke, International Forensic Research & Consulting, Ines Fischer, Large Subculture Study into a Central European Contemporary Vampyre Group Stereotypes about Vlad Țepeș annoy Romanians, misconceptions about Bram Stoker's work may inspire literature and film research. A hidden manifestation of the interest in vampire- related imagery is the subcultural group of "vampyres" who feel that they share similarities with darkness-prone creatures. We present a highly standardized study among central European participants of the largest active 'sanguinarian' vampyre group, i.e., a group including blood drinkers and donors. All participants were personally known and identified. Results show that participants lack religion-like mindsets but share many character traits and biographical similarities including sleep patterns, blood drinking (or giving) and unusual identities.

Ines Fischer, Dr. Mark Benecke, Germany, International Forensic Research & Consulting, Statistical Details concerning the Current, Large-Scale Subculture Study about Central European Real-Life Vampyre Identity Groups To determine psychological, biographical and life style parameters in a large, active, real- life vampyre subculture, we used an internet-based questionnaire with special features, including strict inclusion criteria, missing outgroup and proof of existence of all participants. We discuss to what extent the characteristics of identity groups — especially in the context of two former studies (Atlanta Vampyre Alliance (since 2006): Vampirism & Energy Work Research Study; Joseph Laycock (2010): Nova Religio 14(1):4-23) — are matched since we found no coherence in possible trauma, economical and job status, but high coherence in the time interval of personal “awakening”.
