There are hundreds of vampire myths around the world. The ways cultures perceive vampires are similar. Most of the cultures share the general ideas about the characteristics and features of the vampire. But as far as how they act and the vampire’s mannerisms, each culture differs.
In African culture, the vampire is known as the Asanbosam. These vampires’s share the normal characteristics of vampires except that they have hooks instead of feet. They are said to bite their victims on the thumb. In Indian culture the vampire’s natural form is that of a half-man, half-bat creature roughly four feet tall. They are otherwise normal. In Ancient Greece, (according to Greek legend) a child born on Christmas will become an allicantzaros (vampire). These vampires appear in half-human, half-animal shapes. In Mexican culture, these vampire-witches held Sabbaths at crossroads and were said to attack young children and to mate with human men, producing children who were also vampires.
This monster holds such a strong appeal from culture to culture because back in the days when these legends and myths came about people weren’t very educated. People could not read, write, did not have much access to news, went inside before dusk and relied heavily on the church for there sources of information about everything. The church held all the power in those days and people weren’t knowledgeable about death, medicine or biology. The way people were buried back then is very unlike how they are buried now. People were not embalmed then, but only laid out on a bed in a special room of a house and left there for days and weeks at a time. When bodies naturally decomposed, they made normal body noises and even sit up from the waist up (due to gases in the stomach) as if they were still living which scared the people who were, at times, still in the room with them paying their respects. Myths also started in these times when they had blood disorders which caused the people to go into a coma-like sleep. This blood disorder caused a blood-red rash around the mouth and hands of the person. Even when they touched the blood to see if it was wet they found it dry but it also served as proof that vampires drank blood.

Dracula & Frankenstein
1. Based on my reading and understanding, I realize that a lot of cultures and countries think differently about the vampires. Everyone including myself think that the vampires are very bad, mysterious, and human harming evil because they take someone’s lives away or destroy their night time life when they are home alone at night. Especially very woman is really scared to stay in a big house at night by herself because the first thing that she hears or goes through her mind is a vampire with a big knife and being very scary. I come from Europe and we all believe that there are night vampires who transform into wolves at night. Here in the United States of America, we see a lot of scary movies, which again it makes us think that they are monsters, evil who survive by feeding on the blood of innocent people. Also in other countries, the population believes that vampires used to visit their loved ones because they knew who was home alone tonight in a rainy and foggy night. They did this because either they liked a woman, she was sexy, or is because they just wanted to get rid of their family members or neighbors because they were jealous on their life style which this caused death in the community they inhabited when they were alive.
