You must choose an existing creature type, such as Vampire or Cat. Card types such as "artifact" can't be chosen.
wotc25 Aug 2017
You can't choose multiple creature types, such as "Cat Warrior." A Cat Warrior is both a Cat and a Warrior. It's affected by anything that affects either type and unaffected by things that affect non-Cat or non-Warrior creatures.

The type-changing effect can change part of a word (such as "non-Human") if the part of the word is being used to refer to a creature type.
wotc25 Aug 2017
You choose what word you're changing as New Blood resolves. You don't have to choose a word that appears in the creature's text.
wotc25 Aug 2017
The creature you gain control of won't be a Vampire if you don't choose a creature type in that creature's type line as one to replace.
wotc25 Aug 2017
To pay the additional cost of New Blood, you may tap any untapped Vampire you control, including one you haven't controlled continuously since the beginning of your most recent turn. (Note that tapping the creature doesn't use {T} [the tap symbol].)
