@freemo π€£ Mixing your mythos a little there. What inspired this joke?
@freemo lol Is the "invite in" vampire mythos? I've been scouring the internet for leads and found some fascinating threads on demonology, but can't find an exact source for the "they have to be invited" concept
@worldsendless yea vampires cant enter your house without being invited in.. Jesus is often said that "you need to invite him in [to your heart["
@freemo is that Bram Stoker vampires, or Anne Rice, or ...?
@worldsendless
Dont know the genesis of that idea but its in most vampire lore.
This source seems to claim to know, I didnt read but looks like it answers your question: https://www.distractify.com/p/why-do-vampires-have-to-be-invited-in#:~:text=According%20to%20The%20Vampire%20Book,a%20vampire%20to%20be%20invited
@freemo Ah! Vampirilogy! I didn't know that one
@worldsendless There was a hot minute there where vampires were treated by some as a scientific study. Problem is it was mostly just scammy bullshit to sell shit. But eh, it is what it is.
@worldsendless him rising from the grave is suggestive of him being a vampire. The rest comes from vampire mythos.
