America's Vampires

FOLLOW OUR PODCAST

Over the decades, successive literary and cinematic offerings have gradually bastardised the original interpretation of the vampire from that of a terrifying and murderous monster, into a somewhat romanticised and almost comedic caricature. But the reality behind the concept of vampirism is far removed from the fantasy, borne out of a flurry of brutal and truly horrifying murders. This week, we meet America’s Vampires.

Until now I had never heard of these stories in particular. Thanks for making this October creepier.

"There’s one thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach… all the damn vampires"

While Bram Stoker's Dracula has become the far more pervasive text, and indeed at the time garnered more popularity, John William Polidori's 'The Vampyre' was actually responsible for the image of the aristocratic or gentlemanly vampire and a lot of the other traits you mention in the creation of modern vampire narratives. It precluded Dracula by (I think) 80 years and was something Stoker was familiar with for sure. Obviously 'Dracula' is it's own entity but it didn't break the ground you claim it does here.

as soon as I had heard the name James Brown
I immediately thought of the whole ship's crew dancing and jamming

[WildMen]

I love how the Comte de Saint Germaine was name-dropped as if his story in and of itself wouldn't make a crazy episode Bedtime Stories.

[BennyLlama]

The only vampires that scare me are the ones passing the bar exam. 😀

Hats off to your entire team. This was yet another outstanding addition to your library. Thank you so much for all your hard work. I wait with bated breath for the next Bedtime Story.

Mikey, the artist of the bedtime stories gang is a true artist and makes it difficult to just sit back and close my eyes when listening, can't help but check out his artwork ... Regardless if I've watched it 3 or 4 times . And I'm a big fan of bedtimes stories and have rewatched many of the same videos over and over . You guys are a talented bunch and I appreciate your videos . I love them ! Keep at you guys ... Bedtime stories is one of my favorite videos on youtube .. I listen while at work and just enjoy them so much

[Slyarno]

Good to see Bedtime stories back. Btw look forward seeing your wartime stories videos totally amazing.

[wallywest]

I get that vampires are a staple of horror, but this was a top notch episode all around. Excellent work and well worth the wait.

[STRAKAZulu]

Vampires in America... so... Politicians?

[kenbattor]

In the vampire legends of Eastern Europe, the vampire bites the victim in the chest near the heart.

[DianeHasHopeInChrist]

Wow, I lived near Dillsboro, North Carolina, for 20 years, and visited Dillsboro shops, all the time. I never knew this amazing history.
Dillsboro has beautiful, family owned shops, with handmade fudge, candy, quilts, glassware, etc. It is a uniquely stunning place with the Tuskasegee Rivers & Little Tennessee Rivers running through.
The train crash scene, from the movie, "The Fugitive" was filmed in that area. The train car is still there. And I worked in the ER & ICU that Harrison Ford pretended to be a doctor there, who saved a young boys life, rewriting orders for the child, in the same movie!

[fredfreed]

I am never disappointed by the stories this channel publishes. This one is especially creepy. I loved it!

[chrisnorman]

In my opinion, this was the creepiest and best of your stories of the past year.
Of course, that’s like saying one jewel is prettier than the other jewels.

[MandyMan]

I love how each Sunday night, I get to end the week settling into bed with the latest Bedtime Stories’ story!

For future videos, can I request the Order of Nine Angles, Dulce Base/underground lizard people, Sawney Bean and the Toronto Tunnel Monster?

[AbrahamLincoln]

6:31 Andrew Johnson 🙄 I should've known he was a Vampire sympathizer. Only if I didn't went to the theater.
