This started off as something completely different but I like it much more now. It's still pretty cheap but it get's much better with the Cavern of Souls so you can drop your vamps against a blue deck and not completely die. There is some burn in there just to help even the odds against a rush deck.
Stromkirk Captain and Bloodline Keeper to field buff.Markov Blademaster and Havengul Vampire for self-buffing.Cremate and Read the Bones for drawing.

I think you should run the Vamps that buff guys without damage being dealt. (Captivating Vampire, stormkirk captain. Guys like these). I don't think the LD is needed. I'd rather have draw power to keep the pressure on my opponent. I like your build and I would love to see it change and grow into a powerful tribal deck.

Also where is vampire nighthawk?
I was thinking of changing the LD out with some burn cards, or spot removal to help speed along the damage dealing. As for vampire nighthawk... it's a good card but I was slimming it down to just the ones that make themselves stronger. I'll take a look at a few of the other options for vampires and see what I can swap out unless you have suggestions.
Honestly I'm not a super big fan of the "deal damage to a player to get bigger type guys". I see them being good if you play a few of them not the whole deck. Cause they are always lower of P/T right out the gate then your other versions of them that have a different ability. I'd play half counter buff guys and the other half just good creatures. (if the CMC and the P/T don't break even (2 mana for a 2/2 or 4 mana for a 4/4) then I don't consider it a good card) (just a little insight to that, vampire nighthawk is worth 3 mana for a 2/3 cause it has lifelink and death touch, Stormkirk captain is a good creature 3 mana for a 2/2 that gives first to all vamps and has first strike himself) Make sense?
Yeah, Stromkirk is Sideboarded for a reason. I'll give it a look like I said. Nighthawk is probably going to find it's way in there at some point.
I just really see good things coming from this deck. Trying to help as much as I can and still keeping it below $50. I know how having a budget is important.
I edited it a bit, it still averages less then ~$50 but meh. I pulled the mana curve down. There are only six cards that out right cost more then three. What cards would you suggest for speeding up the draw? Most of the black cards that I've seen for drawing hurt in the life department.
draw i would go sign in blood (double black) or nights whisper (black and a colorless). Honestly a small price to pay to get suck power.
I dropped in some Cremates... single and they let me exile a creature from a graveyard. I'll give Sign in Blood a look, I think I have a couple already so it'll make building the deck easier.What about read the bones? It lets me Scry 2 before drawing two and only costs one additional mana. I might use both if I can get my hands on them. Depends on how it turns out.
I think read the bones is SUPER awesome, just your mana curve is already heavy 3CMC, wouldn't hurt though.
