拉古拉，他用剑刺穿了一个十字架，并饮下从中流出的血。从此他开始了与吸血鬼的手足之谊。（斯托克的吸血鬼）

Another explanation for the Antichrist's birth is that it will be the fruitful production of a human being by a woman and the Demon Satan (R. E. L. Masters 214). It is also said that the famous magician Merlin was supposed to have been born the Antichrist after the Devil raped his virgin mother, but because he was baptized at his birth, the plan was ruined (R. E. L. Masters 44-45). As in the case of Merlin, the Devil often assumes a human form and seduces the women without their knowing of his true nature (R. E. L. Masters 45). Likewise, the vampire has been known to assume various identities in order to lure women to its lair.

对反基督者的出生的另外一个解释是，他们是由人类妇女和撒旦繁殖出来的(R. E. L. Masters 214)。也有传言说中世纪著名的魔法师梅林因处女母亲被撒旦强暴的缘故，本来应当是一个反基督者。然而由于他在出生时接受了洗礼，恶魔的计划失败了(R. E. L. Masters 44-45)。正如在梅林的例子里那样，恶魔经常呈现出男子的形状，并以此勾引那些不知道他们本性的妇女(R. E. L. Masters 45)。相似的，吸血鬼也有许多分身，他们利用这些分身来把妇女引诱到自己的老窝里去。

An additional story of the origin of vampires, or "flesh ­eating devils," is that the virgin was Adam and his demon counterpart was Lilitu, the Babylonian snake-goddess (Frost 6).However, even this conception was enveloped in deception in that"...the she-monster Lilith was conceived out of Adam's voluptuous imaginings, coming to him in his dreams as a succubus" (Frost6). The succubus is a mythological Hebrew term referring to a"...band of fallen angels who had degenerated into lecherous night demons" and who deceptively seduced men in their dreams draining them of their sex drive and sperm count (Frost 6).

还有一个吸血鬼的原型——"食人魔鬼"的故事。亚当是处男，而他的恶魔伴侣，Lilitu，则是巴比伦的蛇女神（Frost 6）。不过，即使如此，他的起源还是由如下的诡计包裹着："......女妖怪Lilitu变成一个女妖（succubus）进入亚当的梦中，并在奢侈淫逸的场景下受孕"（Frost 6）。"女妖"（succubus）是一个希伯莱神话的术语，指的是"一帮退化成淫荡的的夜魔的堕天使"，女妖在男子的梦中引诱他们，榨干他们的精力和性能力。

Since the vampire and the Antichrist are both sired by Satan, it seems only logical that they inherit a certain degree of his power. In the Left Behind series by Tim La Haye and Jerry B. Jenkins, the Antichrist figure, Nicolas Carpathia, assumes the power of mind control and uses it to seduce others into doing his bidding and trusting him. Likewise, the vampire has been attributed this device of control for centuries, as is described in the movie, as well as the novel, "Bram Stoker's Dracula" when he compels Jonathan Harker to cut himself while shaving and seduces Lucy Westenra during a sleepwalking episode.

因为吸血鬼和反基督者的祖先都是撒旦，所以他们都在一定程度上继承了撒旦的能力也是合情合理的。在Tim La Haye和Jerry B. Jenkins所写的Left Behind系列小说里，那位反基督者，Nicolas Carpathia，拥有控制别人心智的能力，并以此来诱使其他人信任他，听从他的命令。相似的，吸血鬼在数以百计的年代里，也有这样的能力。正如电影及其同名小说"斯托克的德拉古拉"里所描绘的那样，德拉古拉迫使乔纳森·哈克在刮胡子的时候割破自己皮，并在露西·维斯特纳梦游的时候勾引她。

The power of transformation also runs strong in the family of Satan. The Apocalypse of Ezra says of the Antichrist, "And he becomes a child and an old man, and no one believeth in him that he is my beloved son" (Bousset 151). The Apocalypse of Zephaniah and The Apocalypse of Elijah also speak of this power of transformation held by the Antichrist (Bousset 151 and Wintermute 746). As for the vampire, their power of transformation comes from their synonymy with strigoi, demonbirds that can transform themselves into any animal (Klaniczay147-148). In fact, the word strigoi is Romanian for vampire, and it shows up in Isaiah 34:14 where the downfall of Babylon is predicted (Florescu, In Search 145 and Wright 138). The vampire has also been attributed the ability to transform i
