Building on John Polidori's 1819 publication of "The Vampyre," Bram Stoker's 1897 gothic horror novel, "Dracula," treated Victorians to "the most blood-curdling novel of the paralysed century."From the release of the silent classic Murnau film, Nosferatu (1922) and 1931's Dracula starring Bela Lugosi, Hollywood has continually reinterpreted the vampire in literature and film for new generations, as in Anne Rice's "The Vampire Chronicals," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Blade," "Twilight" and many more.But what are the sources for the vampire myths and legends expressed in books, movies, and our nightmares?How did the various aspects of vampiric lore such as garlic, rice counting, crosses, sunlight, and wooden stakes come about?What are the links between vampires and real life contagions and diseases such as rabies, and the mysterious wasting disease, Porphyria?Why does the vampire appeal to so many cultures from the modern Latin American Chupacabra to Slavic/Eastern Europe and Chinese Traditions, and reaching back as far as the ancient Mesopotamians, Greeks, Romans, and Hebrews?How does one identify and protect oneself from a vampire?Delve into the lore and legend of the Vampire with us as we traverse the murky world of coffin dust and lusty neck bites when you join us at Ipso Facto!Dr. Rietveld is a professor at California State University, Fullerton, CA and Cal Poly, Pomona, CA of History, Anthropology and Religion.
