Vampires have conquered the hollywoodian mythos as these creatures have their representatives in real world, them being narcissists who cripple mental state of their nearest ones. Vampire stories handle our collective need to understand people without conscience. Beneath the horror of the ruthlessness is unfulfilled need to be faced with mercy and sadly that seems to be collective wound as well. A modern anti-hero is a Godless psychopath, without ability to meet any one with compassion, but mere consuming the energy of human intimacy and affection. Vampires do not love, as only we humble humans do love.

And thanks for the previous discussion with my reptilian greenish friend about this topic I emphasize is it us humans, who work as a vehicle of godly mercy and nothing can replace humanity.
