I am a true vampire nut!

"I am a huge vampire fan! I love anything from the cheesy to the scary. Bram Stoker definitely leans to the scary! His groundbreaking Dracula creation in 1897 was prefaced with eight years of researching European folklore. He was dedicated to his craft and it has shown! This background information is in a very watchable format and is highly recommended to any vampire fan!"
A biting classic

"The "birth" of Dracula, the origins of Gothic style and stories as they relate to the life and times of Bram Stoker. Was he a bigot who believed Muslims studied the occult? Were occult secrets hidden in the works of authors such as Alexandre Dumas, Edgar Allan Poe, and Jules Verne? Pretty compelling stuff!"
Good Documentary on Bram Stoker

"I thought this might be a horror movie, turns out it is a well made documentary about Bram Stoker, the author of Dracula. It seems the idea of the vampire was not new in fact Stoker was very aware of earlier stories revolving around the dark, mysterious creature such as a vampire. None the less, he was the one who perfected it, unlike any other. If you are a horror buff and are into vampires and/or Dracula you gotta check this one out."
