    Vampires Are Real and So Can You

    Vampires suck. And thank goodness they do. Complicated creatures full of flaws: no mirrors means bad hair days. Fangs make dentist visits tough. And they can’t eat stake. But today's vampires have plenty to love: immortality, shape shifting, badassery and power. More often than not, they’re totally sexy. Think snake-necklaced Salma Hayek. Long-locked, pastel-suited Gary Oldman. Kate Beckinsale cling-wrapped for your pleather. But talk about a glow-up! Before Bram Stoker’s Dracula, stories and folktales showed vampires as stinking, filthy, peasants (no class judgment here – vampires just had these qualities). They came from the smallest villages, in the most rural communities. How, in 500 years, did vampires transition from The Stinking Vampyr of Pentsch, to sparkle-chested Edward “I only eat woodland creatures” Cullen? Well, immortality leaves plenty of time for a glow up. Today: The real history of vampires. Or, the history of Real Vampires. Let’s Get Shocked.
