In Romanian mythology, strigoi (same form singular or plural) are the evil souls of the dead rising from the tombs (or living) that transform into an animal or phantomatic apparition during the night to haunt the countryside, troubling whoever it encounters.

Strigoi are also known as "moroi" in some parts, especially rural areas. They are close relatives of the werewolves known as "pricolici" or "vârcolaci", the latest also meaning "goblin" at times.

Strigoi are not born they're made. Innocent humans, dhampires and moroi are turned into Strigoi by another Strigoi, but some Moroi turn Strigoi by choice. How can one do that? They do that after sucking all the blood out of another human/dhampire/moroi and then basically they're life has ended. They loose their magic, their life and their happiness to becoming hunters of Moroi, to kill all Moroi and drink their blood.

They live for Moroi blood. They'll kill and drink the blood of dhampires and of humans, but it's Moroi blood they crave the most. So each Moroi will be assigned a dhampire when they go out into the world. Royals will receive two to help protect them from the Strigoi.

There are three ways to kill a Strigoi. One way is to stab them in the heart with a stake, another is to set them on fire and the last one is to cut off their throat. Of course, if you don't have a stake, or a knife or any way of getting fire quickly, your best option is to GET THE HELL OUTTA THERE.... meaning, run.
The strigoi seek no beauty or love, only blood and death.

Strigoii 

The most common species of vampire found in Romania, known as a "Dead Vampire" as compared with the "living" variety, the Moroii. The strigoii (feminine strigoica) will consort with the moroii, who join the ranks of their undead cousins upon death. The ways of becoming a strigoii are traditionally numerous: suicide, witchcraft, crunubak activities, perjury, death at the hand of a vampire, being the seventh son, being born with a caul, having a cat jump over one's corpse, being stared at in the womb by a vampire, or dying unmarried with an unrequited love. Addtionally, the ropes used in burial must be placed near the body and should not fall into possession of practitioner of black magic who might use them to turn a relative into a vampire. A body that is transforming into a strigoii will have its left eye open and staring. The recommended preventives against such a change includes a sickle stabbed through the heart of the corpse and the sticking of nine spindles into the ground to pierce the creature as it rises. Wine also figures in creating a powerful shield against attack. The strigoii's distinguishing features include red hair, blue eyes, and the presense of two hearts.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
