VAMPIRES: If the were to shave themselves, & accidently cut themselves,would they bleed?

Question

If they went to a blood bank, would they make a withdraw or donate a pint for free or for money? Have they enough blood in their system to bleed from either shaving or getting shot?

Answer 1

How could they even shave? Mirrors, remember?

Answer 2

There are so many answers to that question. Vampirism has been interpretted so many different ways throughout fiction. Lets say a vampire's body empties of blood every oce in a while. in that case he wouldn't bleed if he cuts himself, but only if he hasn't dined in a long enough time to become empty. In any other circumstance I think he would bleed. On the other hand, why would he be shaving? It's a common belief that bodily finctions such as hair growth stop after being turned, so there would be no stubble every morning to shave off unless he died with it. I doubt it matters what type of blood they drink, but I bet different types of blood or blood from different species/races taste different. Mostly based on the victems' diets. Immagine a vampire with a degree in bartending. Think of the blood cocktails he could creat. I bet blood with a lot of garlic would have an effect similar to alcohol or possibly a heavier drug. As for the banks, if vampires did exist they would either have some agreement worked out where the banks would welcome our nocturnal friends during the night to sell blood, or else the vamps would simply break in and steal it.

Vampires do not shave. They are not a laughing matter. They are performing a service for you now keeping the streets free of Vagrants and Homeless. You can thank the Goths for that. They have an agreement to guard their Covens and lure homeless near at night where they can watch them feed. But what happens when the homeless give out then all bets are off and they will be coming after you. Haven't you noticed how there are fewer homeless lately?

Answer 4

I don't think a vampire would care so much about vanity to shave themselves in any case so the point is non-sensical. I think they would most likely make a withdrawl at a blood bank and yes I think they have enough blood to not worry about getting shot. Oh and by the way, its just a STORY.............

Answer 5

Depends on if we've fed recently. If so, then yes, we can bleed somewhat sluggishly. Of course, not having to shave is one of the many perks of being undead, so it is pretty unlikely. Personally, I would never eat at a blood bank. They sort out all the good stuff.

Answer 6

One - vampires don't need to shave -they are undead, and as such things like hair and nails just don't grow anymore. Moot issue.

Two - withdrawl - I wouldn't think a blood bank would accept non viable blood, which is what blood from a dead body is seen as. Vampires are technically dead.

Three - only if they'd fed recently.

Answer 7

They do have blood. Even in the older folklore they were said to bleed. When staked in their grave, it was noted that torrents of blood gushed forth form the wound.

Answer 8

Don't know there has never been a real vampire to find out . Have you been watching that turgid supernatural soap opera "ANGEL" . TV is no more real than most religions!

Answer 9

Of course we would
