Welcome to the 30 Vampires in 30 Seconds help thread, where members of The Escapist community come together to help each other out on our Vampire quiz. This is also for a badge, so everyone should still earn it while having fun.

The only thing we ask is DO NOT give direct answers. This is a hint thread, not an answers thread. If we catch you giving out answers, your fun on this is over. This is also for a badge, so everyone should still earn it while having fun.

I'm really, very sorry for this, but isn't Google a more efficient option?

Sure, you can use google but these are going to be pictures, so you have to know something about the picture first. That is where this thread comes in.

I don't think it is added yet, as it is beginning next Monday.

This ought to be cool, though. May be able to get some of these, even, depending on what the questions are.

EDIT:

PLEASE NOTE: These links will not work until Monday, October 26th

Yup. Wait until Monday.

A Vampire quiz you say? I have been preparing for such a thing all my life unknowingly, and now it is time to put it to use.

I can't wait.

It's just a video that can be played over and over. Look at the "30 Monsters in 30 Seconds" quiz from last year that's currently in the Quiz archive in the Community tab to see the basic format.

Yes.

Don't forget, there is a pause button.

8 years working in a horror store should come in handy here.

This should be pretty easy. Since seeing a play version of Dracula last year, and reading the entire Twilight series in less than a month, I've become kind of hooked on vampires, so I'm pretty clued up about them. Should be pretty simple then to get this... :D

Damn this is going to be hard for me, I know next to nothing about vampires.

Hmmm... I'm thinking Spike from Buffy and Blade will be there.

Note: this is not answer giving out, as the video hasn't even started yet.

Heh, yeah, this one has some obscure-ish vampires in them. Not too difficult if you took a horror film class for fun in college though...

ARGH! THIS IS SO ANNOYING! I SHOULD BE FIRST!

I apparently took 4 tries and took 24ish minutes, but I actually took 3 tries and took 14 minutes, all because of my computer crashing!

Grrrrrr...

I'm confused...I thought this quiz involved vampires? #30 seems to remind of that old Sesame Street song "One of these things is not like the other" :P

Joking aside, man this one is hard!

Well, after four tries I am currently in 12th place. Which I'm sure will drop quickly. My computer froze on my first try, so it really doesn't count because time was up when I restarted. My first real try, I had 5 wrong, and then 2 wrong. Google helped on these final two.

When all else fails, image searching (one of the answer choices + vampire) can help. Especially when you're so close to getting 100%.

And here I thought for a second that the quiz was about the knowlegde of vampires, not the vampires themselves.

I feel a bit stupid now.

I haven't taken the vampire quiz yet. Are the choices available the name of the movie, or the specific vampire in the movie?

It asks for the name of the vampire (or vampires) in the photo.
