Warning: contains flashing lights. We all love vampires, right? Well, I sure do. In this video I wanted to take a look at the recent history of western vampires and the way they've gone from evil and terrifying monsters to hot models in the span of a century, while also trying to answer the question of what makes them so special and cool. So join me on this little trip, in which I hope you'll have a good time! (Obviously there are many missing examples of films, books, games, etc.; but in order to make the video a bit shorter and more digestible I decided to concentrate on the examples that I personally find most interesting.) Music by me, as always :^) You can find it on Bandcamp! https://muldered.bandcamp.com/ (except the obvious meme songs and the Bill Wurtz jingles...)
