They are not all dangerous or evil . Some are quite open as to what they do , and why they have such peculiar practises.

The ones that get our attention are the ones that are run by unscrupulous people , and usually end up murdering there members , or condoning sexual abuse , rape , extortion , deceit , fraud , robbery...

The general view is that people who run a cult or a sect , are doing so for money or some other perverse gratification , or even that they are mentally imbalanced. "Dangerous" because cult members are stereotyped as gullible , naive looking for attention ,wanting to belong , easily manipulated to the point of committing murder or loosing their own lives

Are there any vampire cults in Queensland?

As vampires are mythical creature will little to no evidence proving their physical existence, I doubt there are any real vampire cults in the world. I would imagine however that there are sects or groups of people who adopt the vampire lifestyle, and they could be regarded as vampire cults in certain contexts.
