Kronos in particular.  I believe there's a dvd of this due out soon and I recommend picking it up as the movie is great.Anyway, the different types of vamps in that film was a nod to all the various legends dealing with them.  Nothing about clans, just different species.  The one in this film sucked youth (ususally by biting on the mouth like a kiss), was immune to sunlight, holy symbols, wooden stakes, etc.  I'll keep what is was vulnerable to a secret so as not to ruin the "how do we kill him?" scene.  It's a shame that they didn't continue on with the series, I would have loved to have seen Kronos battling nosferatu and chinese hopping vampires.  Script ideas even had him meeting up with Dr. Frankenstein and Dracula (most likely played by Cushing and Lee).And I admit my name is a direct rip-off, not of comics, but of the family (or "clan" if you will <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />) of Mexican wrestlers.  The father was Ray Mendoza (a name which should be familiar to fans of El Santo movies since he appeared in the wrestling scenes in some of them).  His children continued the tradition of wrestling, but under masks and the names Villano I, II, III, IV, and V.  II was supposedly the most skilled, but I believe he died in a car accident (I know he's dead, but can't quite remember the cause).  I just passed away of, I think, a stroke.  And their father died not too long ago (I'm pretty sure he headed up the whole Mexican wrestling commission for a time).III is still hanging on, but he lost his mask in a match with Atlantis.  IV and V will probably be best know in America since they were with WCW for many years.Villano V is my personal favorite. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Children of these wrestlers have picked up the hood, but totally screwed up the names by not continuing with VI and VII, instead calling themselves Villano 2000 and Villano, Jr.  Bah, kids today!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f621.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:"  data-smilie="4"data-shortname=":mad:" /> I don't have to worry about being sued, btw, since "villano" is simply Spanish for "villain".   So there.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
