Breathing is also not necessary, though they can do so.Ĭharacteristic of this type, lamia can produce children with one another, as well as with witches (also possibly with werewolves and shapeshifters, but this has never been shown). However, tree names for a lamia vampire are held in high regard, even considered auspicious, despite wood being lethal to a vampire.ĭespite their consumption of food, it is not necessary for either lamia or made vampires, as blood provides all nutrition. Lamia families often will name their children for items and creatures found in nature (flowers, animals, weather patterns, gemstones, etc.). In the short story Jez and Morgead's Night Out, this pausing of age is stated to be a conscious process, a recycling of life energy, which continually revitalizes the body until the lamia vampire in question chooses to consciously undo it. However, lamia who do so must exercise great care, as if they choose to resume aging, their body will quickly age the appropriate amount of years to their actual age, which, as stated by Kestrel Redfern, "if you've been alive for five or six hundred years can be quite interesting".
In addition to possessing all other vampire characteristics, lamia will age like humans, but can choose to halt this process for a certain amount of time if they choose. Lamia are characterized by being born as vampires, their ability to age, consume food and be able to breed more lamia children. Lamia Vampires are one of two branches of the vampire species in the Night World, the other being made vampires. We're born and we age like humans - except that we can stop aging whenever we want. Anyway, it's a first-rate TZ entry, so don't miss it.Lamia is just an old word for vampires, but for us it means the ones who're born that way.
NIGHT CALL WIKI MOVIE
And shouldn't overlook fine direction here from movie vet Jacques Tourneur who helmed many of the Val Lewton horror classics, (I Walked with a Zombie Cat People, et al.).
NIGHT CALL WIKI PLUS
That plus quality of writing (Here it's Richard Matheson) accounts, I think, for much series success. Thus good acting came first rather than glamor or celebrity. TZ and Hitchcock Presents were a lot alike in that story was always paramount. Cooper, in a long and distinguished career, is excellent at showing the mounting strain. Still, the suspense builds as the mystery deepens. First-rate TZ, even though there's only a cast of three and no real action. But then, the phone company's no help in diagnosing the problem. Good thing sturdy Margaret's (Marlowe) there during the day providing sober comfort and advice. Poor Elva, she doesn't have much to think about, so the unwanted rings are preying on her declining health. Plus he keeps calling at night, adding menace to the ringing phone. So who's the prank caller interrupting elderly Elva's (Cooper) needed rest. Highly suspenseful episode with aptly ironical ending.
