Lego Blood
May 16th, 2010

Hungry for some Lego blood? You just might be a Lego vampire minifig -the most feared of all minifigs because they suck blood and are immortal. Vampires are very popular to kids nowadays especially to Twilight fans but Vampires have always been popular even before the Twilight movies came out. In Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles, vampire stories became so vivid that it made adults wondering whether these creatures are for real. In Legoland, vampires are as real as the light of day and most of them live in their castles in the outskirts of the Lego Town.
Because of their allure, vampire minifigs have hit the shelves and are now in many home around the globe, either used as paraphernalia for Halloween or just regular toys that inflict fear to other minifigs but what are vampires really?

In 5000 BC, Vampirism emerged in the Mediterranean Basin bringing fright into the area. By 2000 BC a tomb for a vampire was constructed in Giza. Although regular history books do not talk about it, ancient books mention the said account. By year 31, there are records that Jesus healed those with vampirism in Capernaum. In year 140 there was a Vapire Emperor of Rome. His name is Longinus. During the First Crusade, crusaders expelled groups of vampires from Jerusalem –a story still unverified today.
There are many records of vampires roaming the earth but many do not believe that these creatures exist. Since they must have been just representations of murderers i.e. Vlad Dracular or Vlad the Impaler who drank the blood of his victims, many think that vampires were just one of those tales transferred from one generation to the next where information has been twisted to fit the purpose of the storyteller.
Whether they are for real or just a figment of our imagination, many think that vampires are quite cool and they can live forever.
