This is probably why the stories of Dracula exist. Don't go into the creepy man's castle late at night because he will seduce you and drink your blood. It's the oldest pedo warning ever.
I’ve had this same thought/realization. The truth behind the vampire myth. Besides the obvious blood drinking...
Hate the crusifix / anti-christ / anti-Christian
No reflection in mirror / false persona / deceptive of their true nature
Sunlight kills them / Dark > Light
Must be invited in / their “rules of consent”
Shape shifting/seduction / false personas/deception / propaganda/mind control techniques
Immortality / unnaturally long life as a result of Adrenochrome consumption?
Undead / soulless?
I might be reaching here but if these assholes have been around doing their same sick practices for thousands of years, it starts making sense and injects some true horror into the vampire myths for me.
It really creeps you out when you realize Prince Philip bragged in a documentary about being related to Dracula (Vlad the Impaler). Some of the conspiracies surrounding these royal bloodlines don't sound so crazy after all when you really think about it logically.
You're right. I'll never forget when I first realized Pinocchio is basically a story about Turkish slavers kidnapping children to take to pleasure island. They offer everything for free but once they drink the "kool-aid" they realize how much of a jackass they truly are for buying into it. Someone should make a meme comparing that scene to the virus scam and all the incentives they offer. Don't get me started on Snow White and the evil queen that consumes human flesh in hopes of gaining beauty either.

Oh yes I remember that! How about Countess Elizabeth Bathory? Wonder where her bloodline leads to...
