VampireVampires have less attractive origins in 18th Century Southeastern Europe than pop culture would have you believe. Folklore of the region described hungry revenants (evil individuals, witches, or suicide victims), cloaked in funeral shrouds with mouths and noses that trickled blood and distended bodies with skin that was dark crimson or even purple in complexion. Fangs were non-existent in historical legends, though being bitten was still an accepted method of becoming a member of the peckish undead. -- source link
