vampire mythology exists in almost every culture in the world, the night stalking, blood drinking, immortal undead. they have been the focus of scary stories for hundreds of years and still today hold us in fear as you can see by the number of horror movies featuring them, however today the vampire is often admired, even romanticized. the vampire has gone from being a terror in the night to the host of a children's t.v show.

by changing the perception of it to one we can control. today's way of controlling perception is definitely through media, media forces a perspective on us much the same way as mapping forces one perspective of a space.
