In 1968, Hammer Studios filmed Taste the Blood of Dracula at Highgate Cemetery in north London. Within months, witnesses reported a tall dark figure with burning eyes. Foxes were found drained of blood. A self-proclaimed bishop announced a King Vampire from Wallachia was buried in the grounds. A mob broke into the cemetery on Friday the 13th carrying homemade stakes. A hundred-year-old corpse was dug up, decapitated, and staked through the heart on Lammas Day. And two rival occultists spent the next fifty years locked in a feud so intense it outlasted the phenomenon itself.

The Highgate Vampire is a masterclass in what happens when fiction provides a template and reality fills it in.
