Kristen Stewart’s sex scandal didn’t inspire the word “trampire.” Bloodsucking babes have long been sinking their fangs into our collective jugular.
Even comic Will Ferrell, who’s out promoting a new movie, doesn’t want to talk about anything else.
“I don’t care what’s going on in Syria. This is what we need to talk about,” Ferrell said, according to EntertainmentWise.com.
Sites like New York City’s Gothamist are treating “trampire” like a new term, but it was used as far back as 1987 — as the title for a porn film.
The philosophy behind “trampire” may be as old as the hills, according to New Orleans-based vampire researcher Kalila Smith.
“The first vampire may have actually been female,” Smith indicated. “She was named Lilith and, according to the Hebrews, she was Adam’s first wife, but was banished from the Garden of Eden because she refused to be subservient to him, so she was cast out and replaced with Eve.”
Smith said Lilith “became this bloodthirsty demon who roamed the Earth feeding on the offspring of Adam.”
“It seems more appropriate to me in this case,” Garza adds, “to eliminate the vampire reference entirely and simply let the term rest at ‘tramp.’”
