      Featured in films such as:
      Penanggal: The Curse of the Malayan Vampire (2013), Mystics in Bali (1981), The Witch with Flying Head (1982, also known as Witches with Flying Heads or Fei Tou Mo Nu), The Resurrection of Angel Eyes (1988), and Mystery of the Merry Widow (1991).
      Floating witch heads with trailing intestines, sucking unborn children out through their mothers' birth canals is probably one of the more horrific things I've encountered in folklore.

    Being a Vampire doesn’t make you immortal!

      May i suggest you look into Genevieve Dieudonné, if Vampire lore should be something you‘d explore more often?

    • @GrimDarkNarrator
      @GrimDarkNarrator  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      That true. I don't think I implied immortal = invulnerable though. I did read 2 of the Genevieve books a long time ago. I found them pretty odd and kinda out of place in Warhammer Fantasy. Probably because they are older than most of that fiction.

    I would like the Von Carsteins more if it wasn´t for Manfred, Vlad was a way better charakter.
    I would say my favourite bloodlines are the Blood Dragons and Lahmians.

    just wondering
    youve probably done a video on it (if not hey its an idea) but what book would you recommend to start with for a newbie to warhammer Fantasy?

    • @GrimDarkNarrator
      @GrimDarkNarrator  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Gotrek and Felix saga is great fun and newbie friendly. Also the Empire Army series has some great stories with protagonists from different militaries of the Empire. The Von Carstein trilogy is good if you want to read about vampires in general. Sword of Justice/Sword of Vengeance is just overall a pair of my favourite Warhammer Fantasy novels. Also the Time of Legends trilogies focusing on Nagash, Malekith and Sigmar if you want to learn a ton of background.

      There's a lot of German references in Warhammer Fantasy when it comes to the region of the Empire. It is in fact based on the Holy Roman Empire around Renaissance :) Von Carstein itself is similar.

      Well, maybe the word might originate from there, but vampire-esque creatures existed in worldwide mythology back to the ancient times. It was mostly a joke though, cause I live in Transylvania. The origin could be anywhere as far as im concerned :)

      That's why I said 1st documented Vampire! Here sir facts!en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petar_Blagojevich Germans are very very precise in documenting facts.. In religion we have 1st case dating far that we humans can't track it. Yet we have understandings that, let say fallen angels since cant procreate by default, they married females and suck blood dna info from males through blood, and that is how 1st vampirism come in religion part of known world. But we have no documents on it.. just book of Enoch, and part of dead sea scrolls talking about it.. however they do exist don't be fooled! Wish you all good :)
