Lore:

It's difficult to make a unified description of the folkloric vampire, because its properties vary widely between different cultures.

-The appearance of the European folkloric vampire contained mostly features by which one was supposed to tell a vampiric corpse from a normal one, when the grave of a suspected vampire was opened. The vampire has a "healthy" appearance and ruddy skin, he is often plump, his nails and hair have grown and, above all, he/she is not in the least decomposed.

-The most usual ways to destroy the vampire are driving a wooden stake through the heart, decapitation, and incinerating the body completely. Ways to prevent a suspected vampire from rising from the grave in the first place include burying it upside-down, severing the tendons at the knees, or placing poppy seeds on the ground at the gravesite of a presumed vampire in order to keep the vampire occupied all night counting. Chinese narratives about vampires also state that if a vampire comes across a sack of rice, s/he will have to count all of the grains. There are similar myths recorded on the Indian Subcontinent.

-Apotropaics, i.e. objects intended to inhibit or ward off vampires (as well as other evil supernatural creatures), include garlic (confined mostly to European legends), a branch of wild rose, the hawthorn plant, and all things sacred (e.g., holy water, a crucifix, a rosary). This weakness on the part of the vampire varies depending on the tale. In stories of other regions, other plants of holy or mystical properties sometimes have similar effects. In Eastern vampiric legends, vampires are often similarly warded by holy devices such as Shintō seals.

-Vampires are sometimes considered to be shape-shifters not limited to the common bat stereotype put out by cartoons and movies. Rather, a multitude of animals are available such as wolves and spiders, and many more.

-Vampires in European folklore are said to cast no shadow and have no reflection. This may be tied to folklore regarding the vampire's lack of a soul.

-Some traditions hold that a vampire cannot enter a house unless he or she is invited in.

In Supernatural:

-Vampires are said to be able to walk out in the daylight however, they prefer not to since it hurts their eyes and most likely does burn them to some extent.
-They have a second set of fangs that descend when they are about to feed.
-The best way to kill one would be to chop off it's head.
-Dead man's blood acts like poison, not killing them, but making them sick and weak.

Sam: You know, if you two wanna get a room, just let me know Dean.
Dean: Oh, don't listen to him, baby, he doesn't understand us.
Sam: You’re in a good mood.
Dean: Why shouldn’t I be?
Sam: No reason.
Dean: Got my car, got a case. Things are lookin up.
Sam: Wow.. you hear a couple of severed heads and a pile of dead cows and your Mr. Sunshine.

Sheriff: What newspaper did you say you worked for?
Dean: *ahem* World Weekly News.
Sam: Weekly World News.
Dean: S’ss-World...
Sam: Weekly World News.
Dean: Wor- pff, I'm new.
Sheriff: Get out of my office.

Dean: (looks at name tag) John.
Jeff: Jeff.
Dean: Jeff! I know that! Dr. Dorkin needs to see you in his office right away.
Jeff: But Dr. Dorkin’s on vacation.
Dean: Well he’s back. And he’s pissed! And he’s screamin for you man, so if I were you I would- (whistles him off)

Dean: So much f’ed up crap happens in Florida.

Dean: Alright. Open it.
Sam: You open it.
Dean: Wuss.

Dean: Maybe we should uh.. you know, look in her mouth.. see if those wacko’s stuffed anything down her throat, you know, kinda like the moth in ‘Silence of the Lambs’. (nudges Sam’s shoulder)
Sam: Yeah, yeah, go ahead.
Dean: No you go ahead.
Sam: What?
Dean: Put the lotion in the basket.
Sam: Right, yeah, I’m the wuss huh?

Sam: So. We're looking for some people.
Bartender: Sure. It's hard to be lonely.

Dean: Come on man, I’ve been itchin’ for a hunt.
Gordon: Sorry, but hey! I hear there’s a Chupacabra two states over. Knock yourselves out.

Dean: You alright, Sammy?
Sam: Yeah, I'm fine.
Gordon: Well, lighten up a little, Sammy!
Sam: He's the only one who gets to call me that.

Gordon: You gotta have a little more fun with your job.
Dean: See! (snaps fingers) That’s what I’ve been tryin to tell him. You could learn a thing or two from this guy.
Sam: Yeah, I bet I could. Look, I'm not going to bring you guys down. I'm just going to go back to the motel.
Dean: You sure?
Sam: Yeah
Dean: Sammy? Remind me to beat that buzz-kill out of you later, alright?

Gordon: ...Your Dad. That's got to be rough.
Dean: Yeah. Yeah, you know. He was just one of those guys. Took some terrible beatings and just kept coming. So you're always saying to yourself, he's indestructible, he'll always be around, nothing can kill my Dad. And just like that (snaps his fingers), he's gone. Can't talk about this to Sammy, you know? I've got to keep my game face on. But, uh, the truth is, I'm not handling it very well. I feel I have this-
Gordon: -hole inside you? And it just keeps getting bigger and bigger and darker and darker? Good. You can use it. Keeps you hungry. Trust me, there's plenty out there needs killing and this’ll help you do it. Dean.. It's not a crime to need your job.

Gordon: You know why I love this life?
Dean: Hmm?
Gordon: It's all black and white. There's no maybe. You find the bad thing. Kill it. See, most people spend their lives in shades of grey. Is this right? Is that wrong? Not us.
Dean: Not sure Sammy would agree with you, but, uh.
Gordon: Doesn't seem like your brother's much like us. I'm not saying he's wrong, just different. You and me? We were born to do this. It's in our blood.

Lenore: We just need to talk.
Sam: Talk? Yeah, OK. Well I might have a tough time payin attention to much besides Eli’s teeth.

Lenore: You know what I’m going to do?... I’m going to let you go. (Sam looks taken aback) Take him back. Not a mark on him.

Dean: What time is it? Where is Sam?
Gordon: Car’s parked outside. Probably went for a walk. Seems like the ‘take a walk’ type.
Dean: Yeah, he is but- (Sam walks in)

Dean: What part of ‘Vampires’ don’t you understand, Sam? If it’s supernatural we kill it. End of story. That’s our job.
Sam: No Dean. That’s not our job. Our job is hunting evil. And if these things aren’t killing people than they’re not evil.
Dean: Of course they’re killing people, that’s what they do! They’re all the same Sam. They’re not human. Ok? We have to exterminate every last one of ‘em.
Sam: No dean. I don’t think so. Not this time.
Dean: Gordon’s been on those vamps for a year, he knows.
Sam: Gordon? You're taking his word for it?
Dean: S’right.
Sam: Ellen says he's bad news.
Dean: You called Ellen? And I'm supposed to listen to her? We barely know her Sam. No thanks, I'll go with Gordon.
Sam: Riiight! ‘Cause Gordon’s such an old friend. You don't think I can see what this is?
Dean: What are you talking about?
Sam: He's a substitute for Dad, isn't he? A poor one.
Dean: Shut up Sam.
Sam: He's not even close, Dean. Not on his best day.
Dean: You know what? I'm not even going to talk about this.
Sam: You know what. You slap on this big fake smile, but I can see right through it cause I know how you feel, Dean. Dad's dead! And he left a hole and it hurts so bad you can't take it, but you can't just fill up that hole with whoever you want to. It's an insult to his memory.
Dean: Ok (turns away then turns back and punches Sam in the face)
Sam: (holding jaw) You can hit me all you want. It won't change anything.
Dean: I'm going to that nest, you don't want to tell me where it is, fine. I’ll find it myself.

Dean: I can’t believe this. (hotwiring his car) I just fixed her up too. So the bridge.. is that ah.. is that all you got?
Sam: The bridge was four and a half minutes from their farm.
Dean: How do you know?
Sam: I counted it. (Dean looks incredulous) They took a left out of the farm, then turned right onto a dirt road. Followed that for two minutes, slightly uphill, then took another quick right and we hit the bridge.
Dean: You're good. A monster pain in the a**... but you're good.

Dean: Gordon, I think you and I got some things to talk about.

Gordon: What are you doin’ man? You doin’ this for a fang? C'mon Dean, we're on the same side here!
Dean: I don't think so, you sadistic b*****d!
Gordon: You're not like your brother. You're a killer.. like me.

Dean: You know, I might be like you, or I might not. But you’re the one tied up right now.

Sam: I miss anything?
Dean: Ehh.. Not much. Lenore get out ok?
Sam: Yeah. All of ‘em did.
Dean: Then I guess our work here is done... How you doin’ Gordy? Gotta tinkle yet? Alright.. Well get comfy. We'll call someone in two or three days, have 'em come out, untie you.
Sam: You ready to go Dean?
Dean: Not yet. I guess this is goodbye. Well, it's.. been real (hits Gordon in the face causing him in the chair he’s tied to, to slam backwards on the ground) Ok, I'm good now. We can go.

Dean: Sam?
Sam: Yep?
Dean: Clock me one.
Sam: What?
Dean: C'mon! C’mon, I won't even hit you back! Let's go!
Sam: Heh.. No!
Dean: Let's go! Y'get a freebie! Hit me! Come on!
Sam: You look like you just went twelve rounds with a block of cement, Dean!... I'll take a rain check.
Dean: I wish we never took this job. It's jacked everything up.
Sam: What do you mean?
Dean: Think about all the hunts we went on Sammy, our whole lives.
Sam: Ok.
Dean: What if we killed things that didn't deserve killing? You know? I mean the way Dad raised us..
Sam: Dean. After what happened to Mom... Dad did the best he could.
Dean: I know he did. But the man wasn't perfect. And the way he raised us to hate those things- and man I hate ‘em. I do. When I killed that vampire at the mill, I didn’t even think about it- hell, I even enjoyed it.
Sam: You didn't kill Lenore.
Dean: Yeah, but every instinct told me to. I was gonna kill her. I was gonna kill 'em all.
Sam: Yeah Dean, but you didn't. And that's what matters.
Dean: Yeah... Cause you're a pain in my a**!
Sam: Guess I may have to stick around and be a pain in your a** then.
Dean: Thanks.
Sam: Don't mention it.

xd Thanks. I usually surf message boards to see what info they have.

that one's really good for summaries.. so i use that info until the show comes out.

Teehee, best quote EVER! I love the car. And Dean's right. Sam just doesn't understand.

I'm not sure I really wanna know. It depends on how innocent.

That would be totally cute to read. Anyway, speaking of cars, did anyone see the irony in Gordon's car being red? Flashy, just like him. I just wish it hadn't been a Chevy, even if I'm not a fan of the Monte Carlo/ El Comino(sp?).
