So here I was, all pleased with myself for the idea of Judas Iscariot as the first vampire, and then I had to go check the Internet. Turns out I am not the first to propose this notion. Apparently there is a book called Vampire Rain by Paul Feval which implies this connection. Also, there seems to be a movie called Dracula 2000 that depicts the concept as well. Oh well.

Still, I expect I'm the first to depict an archangel fighting a dwarf. That is some comfort, at least.
