Our theme for July is “Things That Go Bump in the Night” – a month-long dive into the creatures made famous by horror movies and legends. Today’s episode, we’re looking at a classic that is associated with blood and glitter: vampires. Nearly every culture has a version of vampires.One of the most famous, of course, is the one we talked about a few weeks ago: Dracula. The cape. The fangs. The accent. The coffin. The castle in Transylvania.He’s the undead aristocrat—drinking blood by moonlight, seducing victims with hypnotic charm, and turning into mist or bats when the mood strikes.A creature of darkness. A metaphor for fear, desire, and death itself.But where did he come from?
