Vampires are more a creature of the classic horror genre. There have been vampire stories in cultures that go back as far as the beginning of humanity. The first Vampire myths appeared in writings found on clay tablets in tombs in Mesopotamia that date back 6,000 years.
Vampires are a mythic creature- highly symbolic and occuping a place in the nightmares of humans for generations without end.
