vampire bite

Fanged nocturnal attack

A vampire bite is the puncture wound left by a vampire's fangs, typically two marks on the neck.

In folklore and fiction, the bite transmits vampirism or drains the victim's blood.

The term extends to hickeys that leave visible marks: She came home with what looked like a vampire bite on her neck.

In cocktail culture, a vampire bite is a shot or drink featuring red ingredients meant to evoke blood.
