Vampires have penetrated all aspects of popular
culture. Vampire researcher Martin V. Riccardo reveals the origins of
these bloodthirsty fiends of the midnight realm. Through folklore,
literature, movies, and television, the full range of the vampire is
examined. Special attention is given to the powerful impact of Bram
Stoker's novel Dracula, and the historical figure of Vlad
Tepes known as Dracula in Romania.
The program also looks at the real vampire bats of Latin
America, and strange reports of unearthly figures such as the vampire of
Highgate Cemetery in England, and Dracula's
ghost in Romania.
