"Few creatures of the night have captured our imagination like vampires.
What explains our enduring fascination with vampires? Is it the overtones of sexual lust, power, control? Or is it a fascination with the immortality of the undead?"

Feel free to post any vampire-related content here. I'll be posting various vampire media I enjoy just as a way of kickstarting this community but don't let that stop you from posting something else. I just wanted a place to discuss vampire movies, books, games, etc.

Poster for the 1977-1980 run of the play Dracula. Poster is by Edward Gorey, as were the play's sets and costumes.

It looks like the play wasn't filmed, unfortunately. (wtf?) However, Gorey did several Dracula book illustrations that are also available in toy-theater form: https://www.themarginalian.org/2013/07/22/edward-gorey-dracula/
