No.
Are there vampires in M-e?

The second line suggests A and/or R as letters of the word. I wonder if lines 1 and 3 also have cryptic elements, but so far was unable to think of anything cryptic or literal that works well.

There aren't really any cryptic elements.
Try finding a foul and violent place first. (The foulness is manifest, but the violence more covert/hidden).

There are many of those (Thangorodrim, Utumno, Angband, Barad-Dur, Moria, Minas Morgul, Cirith Ungol, Nan Dungotreb, maybe even Nan Elmoth)

Looking at the whole riddle, I'm wondering about the not-so-Silent Watchers at Cirith Ungol.
Dripping blood, maybe - I wouldn't be surprised if this were part of their description; also given the massacre in the Tower they were metaphorically dripping with blood. In inertia, but not silent. - They were stationary ('in inertia'), but despite their name, I believe shriek either when Sam enters or Frodo and Sam leave. Sentinels, possibly - This is a synonym for 'watchers'. At first sight, it's not clear whether the pair of statues are guards or not. Of a place both foul and violent. - If this doesn't describe an Orc tower on the borders of Mordor, I don't know what does! hS |

Here is a fun answer: Grip, Fang and Wolf
