Learn More About The Vampire Drawing

Vampires are familiar sights as breakfast cereal mascots, Halloween costumes, horror film stock characters, and teenage film heartthrobs. Where did the idea of the bloodsucking undead originate?

Ancient mythologies contain the predecessors of vampires. In Persia, for example, pottery shards have been unearthed that depict frightening creatures attempting to drink blood from humans.

India, Babylon, Greece, Rome, and other ancient cultures had legends of demons, goddesses, or other beings that roamed the night in search of victims from which to drink.

Vampire legends in the modern sense have been featured in many cultures, especially in Europe, for hundreds of years.

Some historians believe that the legend of Dracula, originating in Transylvania, Romania, has as its base real historical figures - "Dracula’s prototypes were 15th-century Princes Vlad Dracul, or Vlad the Devil, and Vlad Ţepeş, known as Vlad the Impaler because of the way he executed his enemies."

It was not uncommon for superstitious villagers to drive a stake through a corpse to prevent it from coming back to life as a vampire.

In 1897, Irish writer Bram Stoker published the novel Dracula. With the advent of the film and television industries came numerous retellings. Children's television programs, such as Scooby Doo, Eureka's Castle, and Sesame Street adopted vampire characters that were often friendly rather than scary.

The Wall Street Journal once noted that the entertainment media has undergone an interesting shift that it calls the "zombie, werewolf and vampire surge of the past decade." This includes the best-selling series, Twilight.
