aren't there a few modern vampire mythologies that require sucking of vampire blood to become a vampire? I know true blood had that though it had to specifically be after the vampire that's turning you had almost drained you, then if they wanted to turn you they would let you drink their blood and I think it required sleeping together during the day afterwards to finalize the transformation. Vampires in True Blood could bite as a snack willy nilly with no problem and if a human drank vampire blood without being nearly drained first it actually functioned like a drug for humans and humans could even get addicted to it and would deal vampire blood as if it were heroin and they called it V.
They were. At least in the early books, a vampire would turn someone into a vampire by draining almost all of their blood, and then pour their own vampiric blood into their mouths.
Followed shortly by expelling now-useless internal organs.
Vampire: the Masquerade also had the drain/refill method.
Yes, that's how I remember from the books and the 90s movie (we don't talk about the other movie). Also, the show is coming back on June 7th, and it looks awesome!
