VAMPIRE
The older belief (before the invasion of teenage vampire angst) was vampires were living dead that came out only at night, could transform themselves into bats, and would suck blood from the living. A victim of a vampire bite ultimately would become a vampire themselves. They could not survive in sunlight and could be warded away by garlic, crosses or holy water. Also it was initially thought there were only 3 ways to kill a vampire: burn it, decapitate it, or thrust a wooden stake through its heart. Sometimes all 3 just to be safe.
Then a bit of trivia...F.W. Murnau, the German filmmaker, was the first person to depict a vampire on screen, in Nosferatu in 1922. Also, Bram Stoker’s famous Novel Dracula has been filmed 30 times in 50 years.
