In this episode, we sink our teeth into the dark and fascinating world of vampires. Where did the legend begin? From ancient Mexican legends to Eastern European folklore, we trace the blood-soaked trail of vampire myths through history. Discover how real-world fears—plague, death, and the unknown—gave rise to creatures of the night, and how those stories evolved into the vampires we know today. We also explore vampire lore from around the world, the real-life figures who inspired the myth (like Vlad the Impaler), and how literature and film transformed the vampire from a monster into a cultural icon.

Whether you're a fan of Dracula, Twilight, or just curious about what hides in the shadows—this episode will leave you thirsty for more.
