Spooktober is officially here! In our first installment of our annual Spooktober series, we're talking all about Vampyres. To this day, we still celebrate the seductive, undying, Euro-centric interpretation of vampires in our media, literature, and costumes despite being a centuries-old trope. What is the history and science behind the mythology that we love? Were vampires ever real or was there a misunderstood virus involved at the root of vampire lore? Take a bite of this episode to find out!
