A horror-loving couple say they drink each other’s blood like vampires – to symbolise their commitment to each other.<\/p>\n

But unlike the vampires from TV and novels, Denis Alberto and his girlfriend don’t bite each other’s necks.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n\n

Instead they use disinfectant, medical syringes and needles to draw out the blood, and drink it from glass vials.<\/p>\n

“Blood is a mythological bodily juice, it means life for us,” Denis said.<\/p>\n

“We drink our blood for the renewal of our love, as a sign of our bond, like married couples wear rings.”<\/p>\n

Denis, 30, met his girlfriend Ilaria, 20, on <\/span>Facebook <\/span>more than three years ago when he advertised for an assistant for his circus act.<\/p>\n

The Italian couple have been together ever since, on tour with their <\/span>vampire <\/span>horror show, which is currently based in Germany.<\/p>\n

For their act, the pair – who perform as ‘Mago Denis’ and ‘Pretty Pistol’ – dress up and act like blood-sucking creatures of the night.<\/p>\n

But it’s not just on stage that their ‘vampirism’ comes to life.<\/p>\n

The couple say they drink each other’s blood at home as a sign of their bond and commitment.<\/p>\n

And they even claim that consuming it is as normal as wearing a wedding ring.<\/p>\n

Ilaria drinks more of Denis’ blood than he of hers, as he fears the blood-letting process would “scar her gorgeous body” too much.<\/p>\n

The couple have topped off their vampire style by having pointy teeth caps implanted.<\/p>\n

It took them a while to find a dentist willing to do the procedure but finally they were able to live their dream of looking like “real” vampires.<\/p>\n
