Vampires of Mythology | From Africa to Australia
Vampires are among the most popular monsters of fiction, and among the most widely spread monsters of folklore. Every culture on earth has some variant of a creature that subsists on the blood of the living. Some resemble human beings such as Dearg Due from Ireland, while others such as Asanbosam of Africa look like monsters from one's worst nightmares. This program will cover some of the most famous and most fearsome vampires of folklore, from the classic Eastern European monsters that influenced Dracula, to the bizarre Yara-ma-yha-who of Aboriginal Australian legend!
