"Fangs were flying, capes were torn Hell hath no fury like a Vampire scorned The number one rule in this game: 
Never call one by his real name Wigs were pulled, top hats were crushed By pointy boots in a rush And Boris at the bar orders a Bud and says, “It’s just another night at the Vampire Club."
-Voltaire
