Pale, brooding, adverse to sunlight and attracted to strange period clothing. It's no wonder that Goths became so strongly associated with vampires as early on as Bauhaus' "Bela Lugosi's Dead." Naturally, there are Goths out there who take their love of vampires one step further. They're the ones who might don black capes and sunglasses when they go out during the day, join "vampire societies," and whose bookshelves are filled with Anne Rice and White Wolf rule books. They've watched all the Dracula movies out there and are planning on visiting Romania next summer (failing that, Whitby). And they're very partial to red wine, but not so keen on garlic.

Quick to pick up on the popularity of vampires within the subculture, a large number of Goth and Goth-related bands have done a "vampire song," although more vampire-friendly ones include Nosferatu, Inkubus Sukkubus and, of course, Theatres des Vampires.

Because they generally don't take themselves too seriously and love Goth for both its romantic grace and its cheesy overtones, Vampire Goths are normally very fun people to be around. Just don't let them get too close to your neck.

Innocence is hurting
A world speaks out of tune
Promise calls and promise falls
What are we to do, with a clouded view?
You follow me through

Sadly the tides are changing
My world slips out of view
Your body falls. My body calls
What are we to do, with a clouded view?
You follow me through

My life's turning pages
I see a promised day
Watchmen never age here
They just sleep in vain
Drowning people stare here
They don't care to call, so I rebury the pages
Cthulhu calls
You'll see, you'll see her
When she starts to form
You'll see, you'll see her
When she starts to call

In the name of Jesus Christ
Won't you fear my name?
I've been around since Moses
Your preacher never came
You'll see, you'll see her
When she starts to form
You'll see, you'll see her
When she starts to call
Follow me
You sleep, you sleep
Follow me

It's just another day
Remember, I'm calling for you
Just another day
Remember, she's calling for you
Just another day
Cthulhu, I'm calling for you
Just another day
An empire has fallen from view
You sleep
You sleep
Follow me
You sleep - you sleep
You cannot follow me

The Victorian Picnic started out as a historical fashion meetup, but gradually began to involve more gothic, fantasy, and steampunk outfits. Anyway, this year's edition happened yesterday so you can find pics on social media and traditional news.
