We could also hit up the extended Cthulhu Mythos and borrow the Insects from Shaggai, aka Shan - incorporeal (actually, phased) grotesque mosquito-like beings which wrap themselves into your mind and take over. They could need human hosts for some Big Bad Thing coming up.

You could adapt the strigoi/striga/moroi/shtriga as a creature that eats memories.  Maybe combine that with the baku and say that the folkloric creatures are two interpretations of the same beastie.

That could work. As currently I have the weaknesses as Grave Dirt ( can make the Vampire sick, or a weapon caked in it can be fatal ) and a coin placed in the Vamp's mouth (Paralyzes them).

As for Lovecraftian stuff, I am hesitant to do that, as that seeps into so many RP's I've seen, that it feels almost like a cop out.
