Changing my thoughts

After watching the vampire special the other day in class, it gave me a different opinion on vampires and the stories that go along with them. There is legitimate history with vampires and its not just a folk tale or anything either. I have watched all the Twilight series movies and read the first two books. I liked the books and the movies. But i never really looked in to the history behind it all. Vlad the Impaler was very interesting tale and story of what he use to as a Ruler over his kingdom. In Williamson article i liked the part on gender and how it plays a roll in vampire history and how it is portrayed now a days. The Dracula part interest me as well. I am interested to find out more about Vampires and there history
