Hi, First, your main priority is to reduce your mana curve. Anowon, Havengul, Heirs of Stromkirk and Spread the Sickness are too slow. The only good 4cmc in a deck like your, is the Vampire Nocturnus, and it's usually played with Dark Ritual and/or Aether Vial. Second, you need to choose 1-2 vampire lord. Stromkirk Captain and Vampire Nocturnus are the best. 4 of each can't be a bad choice. Captiving Vampire and Adaptive Automaton are budget choice. Also, you can't really play a R/B vampire deck without Vampiric Fury. This card alone can finish a game. Stromkirk Noble ( turn 1 ) + Furor of the bitten or Predator's Gambit ( turn 2 ) is a potential Tarmogoyf !!! Reduce your lands to 19-20, with cards like Dragonskull Summit and Blackcleave Cliffs, mana won't be a problem and you won't have to mulligan often. Try to have between 24-28 creatures to maximize the benefits from vampires lords in general and Vampiric Fury.

Very nice deck and original. I like it :)
4 x Vampire Nocturnus is your winning condition. Check out my vampire deck : http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=306769
Nice and cheap.
Nice zombie deck indeed. But, maybe 71 cards is too much. Try to reduce your mana curve, you will never be able to play plague wind against any decent deck. I highly suggest you to add few putrid imp ( it's a zombie ) to discard your zombie lord, and add some reanimate to bring them back fast without paying their mana cost.
Anvil of Bogarden :)
Buried Alive + Demigod of Revenge ;)
Nocturnus is a good vampire but with a second color ( red ) his ability won't trigger often. Maybe few Viscera Seer would be a nice addition. Or, replace them by few Captiving Vampire.
Hi, Sideboard your Leyline of the Void. Use them only when your opponent play with their graveyard. Otherwise it's useless. Use Hymn to Tourach instead of Mind Rot / Distress Add 1 Lialina's Caress. Can be useful with Anvil of Bogarden too. :) Good luck.
Hello. Do you play any particular mtg format with this deck ? If yes, remove Necropotence, it's a vintage card, and play few Phyrexian Arena instead. Otherwise... 1. If you sacrifice your own vampires, Kalastria Highborn can be useful. 2. Unmake is 3 mana, Go for the throat and Geth's Verdict are 2. 3. Malakir Bloodwitch is great in multiplayer, less effective in 1 vs 1, a very conditional choice in my opinion. 4. Buried Alive for 3 Bloodghast, nice combo :) 5. If you want to play Living Death, get rid of Terramorphic Expanse, add 4 Bojuka Bog and play them in combo before Living Death. And Bojuka Bog will give you a chance vs Reanimator. 6. Accelerators ! Like Dark Ritual and/or Aether Vial. 7. Amulet of Unmaking...try some conterspells instead, like Dash Hopes or Mental Misstep. 8. Vampire Nocturnus is great if you play Sensei's Divining Top, since the top card of your library is almost always black and not a land. Good luck :)
