I'ver always hated vampire stories. They're fantasy's most annoying monsters. "What could be sexier than a 180-pound leech hanging off the side of your neck?
- Oh, I know! If the leech was also a reanimated corpse!"
Is it just me, or do others also find the "sexy vampire" notion really stupid? But that changed when I finally found a use for those undead irritants:

Nice idea.
You can do it differently though.
Just strap the bloodsucker down in special chamber. Let some sun in and use the heat of him burning. Add an IV with blood to keep him unliving. Not as envoirement-friendly as your idea. but should work as well. Spares you the questions of the priest what you do with all that holy water.

Great pic, I may need to 'borrow' it for a fantasy RPG campaign.
And most interpretations of vampires are lame and contrived, because the author/artist only looks at the surface, without understanding what lies at the core of the vampire legends.
All the sexiness was a recent addition ( I blame Anne Raynd ), it's always been about power and isolation.
From the perspective of the villagers, it's the combination of fears, the fear of the wolf in the night and the fear of the baron/duke/lord demanding unreasonable taxes, sucking the 'lifeblood' from the peasants.
From the vampire's perspective, it's based on a choice: Would you want to live forever, at the cost of losing all human contact? Eternal life with eternal, cosmic loneliness. Not something you can alleviate with an 'Interview,' since there is no one to interview you, only food sources, and the activity of a world you can never be a part of again.

Only when looking at the modern version of the vampire in comparisen to the Easter European originals, which were basically combinations of demon, blood-sucking zombie, and asshole too wicked for Hell. Also, they bit open a hole in the chest and lapped the blood up like a dog.
And yes, they DID stink horribly.

Blackula just came to say
that hating is a okay
sometimes we all got to live our own way
but Blackula a vegan so your blood can stay
in your neck where it thrives
all those other vampires can deny
the truth about how they just suck
dragging Blackula along in the muck
You don't got to like vampires that stuck
but when you roll with Blackula you obtain 100 + funk in luck
