"Few creatures of the night have captured our imagination like vampires. What explains our enduring fascination with vampires? What is it about the vampire myth that explains our interest? Is it the overtone of sexual lust, power and control? Or is it a fascination with the immortality of the undead? And what dark and hidden parts of our psyche are aroused and captivated By the legends of the undead, by the legends of the undead, By the legends of the undead. The mystery of the undead will continue to fascinate the living. Few creatures of the night have captured our imagination like vampires. What explains our enduring fascination with vampires? And what dark and hidden parts of our psyche are aroused and captivated By the legends of the undead, by the legends of the undead?"
