What is the term for the network of vampire culture that emerged online in the late 1990s?

The term "Sanguinarium" refers to a specific online community and network that emerged in the late 1990s, focused on vampire culture. It fostered connections among individuals who identified with vampiric practices, lifestyles, and identities, providing a space for discussions, storytelling, and the sharing of experiences related to vampirism. The Sanguinarium facilitated the exchange of information about vampire lore, community events, and alternative lifestyles, shaping a unique subculture that blended elements of fantasy, identity, and community in the digital age.

Other terms like "Apotropaic" relate to practices intended to ward off evil (like protective charms) and are not specifically linked to vampire culture. "Deviant burials" refers to burial practices that diverge from the norms, often related to fears of the undead, but doesn't pertain directly to online vampire networks. "Vampire Collective" may sound relevant, but it is not a widely recognized term for the online community that the Sanguinarium embodies, which specifically highlights the sharing of vampire-related cultural practices and identities.
