The vampires in this TV series are slightly different to the myths of what vampires should be like, as the stereotypical vampire, is pale white whereas these vampires fit in well with the location they are set in. The only thing that you could tell them about from humans is that when they are about to feed or warn someone off someone there fangs come out and they get red veins under their eyes which move when feeding.

As some of the myths of would have said that to kill vampires would to drive a steak through their heart, for these vampires that faten death does apply to them, and if they stabbed with it anywhere else apart from the heart it just injures them but as they are immortal and strong they can just pull it out and heal within seconds.

With the vampires from twilight are again a little different as the myth that says vampires are killed by a steak through the heart, whereas in twilight they are killed by getting their heads ripped off then being burnt after. They also have fangs but when they are going to kill, with the cullen family they do not feed on human blood so therefore their eyes are a different colour whereas the vampires that drink human blood have red eyes. With another myth that vampires can't go out in the sunlight, the writer of these books had deliberately set them in a place where sun hards shines. Twilight has still used this myth although there are some changes where the sunlight should have killed them however their skin just becomes shiny and sparkly and iced cold. These vampires also have special powers, not all of them have it only certain ones such as Edward can read minds, Alice can see into the future and when Bella turns into a vampire she has a force field.

 With the van helsing vampires they are these three beautiful women who can turn into these hideous creatures with wings, again these vampires live in a place where it is constantly cloudy and grey looking. These vampires also have a power which is hypnotising men and women with their beauty. The way to kill these vampires is to get holy water from the church and shot them in the heart. Although it always comes down to the heart to kill vampires there are many different ways to kill vampires.
