EPISODE 23: Vampires – How to Love them, How to Kill them
During this week’s show – Vampires: How to Love Them, How to Kill Them – we find out there is much more behind today’s views of the Vampire culture than Buffy, True Blood and Twilight. This week, we investigate why Vampires are viewed as sexy and romantic creatures today. Author J.M. Dixon talks of the trials and tribulations of his life as a modern-day Vampire and provides tips from his new book, “The Weiser Field Guide to Vampires.” Meredith Woerner, author of the “Vampire Taxonomy” warns that both good and bad vampires exist and walk among us daily. Also this week: Archivist Edward Meyer explains the history of Vampire Killing Kits of which Ripley’s has the largest collection in the world; and the first-ever Celebrity edition of Ripley’s Spot the Not! quiz challenges NBA great Nick Anderson.
