Vampires are mythological creatures said to feed on blood, most often that of humans. Their origins can be found in many different cultures, but they became most famous through Eastern European legends, particularly that of Vlad Țepeș, the inspiration for Dracula. They are often described as immortal, pale, and vulnerable to sunlight, garlic, and holy symbols. In folklore, they could only be killed by driving a wooden stake through the heart or by decapitation. Modern interpretations portray vampires both as terrifying predators and as tragic, romantic figures.
