With the phenomenal success of Robert Pattinson and Twilight, everything vampire is in vogue, and that includes photography.

We’ve already featured vampire children and vampire nuns, and now we bring you a deliciously sinful and [macabre photography series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-portraits) by Dutch photographer Erwin Olaf.

‘Royal Blood’ features models as pale white vampires getting killed. But a stab at the heart, back or a severed head can’t keep a good vampire down…

Enjoy the gallery for the [bloody images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/severed-red), including tributes to Princess Diana, Julius Cesar & more famous deaths. Also check out more Twilight & Robert Pattinson influences below.
