OK I had to add this: People commenting about the fangs. I bought the cheapest ones available because I am using them for the tutorial ONLY. If you dress up as a vampire, by all means, spend more on fangs so that you can talk better with them, that they look more realistic, etc. I don’t see the point in buying expensive fangs just for the sake of the videos. If it distracts you that much, please feel free to send me a donation via Paypal so that I don’t have to spend anymore of my OWN money buying props and makeup and accessories to make these tutorials for you guys.

The REAL Monsters of Halloween: Dracula and Vampires
October 27, 2010 / 33032
These enduring characters have a fascinating basis in real life
By Stephen Wagner.
THINK OF HALLOWEEN and your mind conjures images of ghosts, vampires, witches and monsters. Our modern versions of them have largely been crafted by popular literature and, more influentially, the movies. But like many fantastic characters of myth and lore, they have a basis in reality.
Sometimes the true stories of these creatures that haunt our imaginations are just as weird and amazing as their fictional incarnations:
DRACULA / VAMPIRES
Today’s vampire persona - the elegant blood-sucking creature of the night - comes primarily from Bram Stoker’s novel, Dracula, published in 1897. Stoker’s story, in turn, was based loosely on the real-life Vlad Dracula (1431-1476), a prince who actually did live in Transylvania in the Carpathian Mountains of Romania. The name Dracula is derived from a Romanian word that means “devil” or dragon.” Obviously, Vlad Dracula was not a vampire, but Stoker undoubtedly used the historical figure as the basis of his vampire story because of Vlad’s bloodthirsty style of dealing with those who opposed him. A Brief History About the Dracul states: “Vlad’s brutal manner of terrorizing his enemies and the seemingly arbitrary manner in which he had people punished earned him the nickname ‘Tepes’ or ‘the Impaler,’ the common name by which he is known today. Stories of Vlad’s cruelties were circulating through Europe. His end came at the hand of an assassin at some point toward the end of December 1476 or early January 1477.”
The legend of the vampire predates Bram Stoker and even Vlad the Impaler. Vampires Thru the Ages traces them back to 1047 and a document referring to a Russian Prince as “Upir Lichy” or Wicked Vampire. A century later, Walter Map’s De Nagis Curialium includes accounts of vampire-like beings in England. Waves of vampire hysteria swept through Prussia and Hungary in the 1700s, fueled perhaps by disease, ignorance and maybe a psychotic serial killer or two.
The tradition of the vampire has been firmly established into our modern culture by Hollywood, television and the highly popular novels of Anne Rice and others.
