In honour of Robert Egger's long-awaited Nosferatu, I wanted to release this episode initially published back in October for Spooky Month, on Patreon. While there are hundreds of examples of Vampire-like beings in folklore across Europe, the Americas and Aboriginal countries, this week we are going to look at instances where the cosplay was taken a little further...

We'll discuss ritualistic blood drinking from ancient civilisations, the Real Vampire community that sprung up in the goth scene of the 80s and some True Crime cases involving blood drinking.
