Vampires: Folklore, fantasy and fact - Michael Molina

View full lesson: ed.ted.com/lessons/vampires-fo...
The myth of the bloodsucking vampire has stalked humans from ancient Mesopotamia to 18th-century Eastern Europe, but it has differed in the terrifying details. So, how did we arrive at the popular image we know, love and fear today? And what truly makes a vampire...a vampire? Michael Molina digs up the science and the superstition.
Lesson by Michael Molina, animation by The Moving Company Animation Studio.

    Imagine a creature that is, by design, the perfect predator of human beings. Intelligent, cunning, and able to use a human appearance as a form of camouflage to move about undetected. Now imagine that creature is strong as a lion and has to consume it's body weight in blood every night. I think movies and television haven't made vampire anywhere near as frightening as they could be.

    Currently reading Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and the lore in the book is fascinating. There’s even some vampire lore in that book that we don’t remember, such as a wild rose stalk preventing the vampire from leaving its coffin, they can only transform at noon dawn or dusk, can ride moon beams, and they can actually transform into any for they wish (bat is obvious, but also wolf, and mist)

    I asked my Dad this once about another vampire, he replied with something along the lines of "Well, if he blocked up his windows, or had them removed and replaced with just more walls, the local villagers would realise that the guy was a vampire because most humans wouldn't mind a bit of sunlight but vampires do. Then, they'd come in, outnumber him and kill him." My Dad's a pretty smart guy.
