Everybody has heard stories about vampires. The word vampire is of Slavic origin, as the legend originated centuries ago in south-eastern Europe, in Transylvania and Serbia. In the Middle Ages, there were many folk legends about vampires, but places like Transylvania and Serbia seemed like the end of the world to the people of Western Europe at that time. Since the inhabitants of Germany , France and England did not know about these distant lands , they listened with fear and amazement to the strange tales told by merchants and travelers.
With time, literature started to play an important role in popularizing vampires. Many romantic authors in the early nineteenth century wrote novels about foggy mountains, terrifying creatures, distant castles and their mysterious inhabitants. In 1897 , Bram Stoker wrote a book about Dracula the most famous vampire of all time. He based his story on the life of a fifteenth- century Valachian ruler, Vlad IV Dracula, who was known for exceptional cruelty and criminal actions. Stoker’s tale was set in Transylvania, in Count Dracula’s castle, and in 19th- century London. However, Dracula was not a historical novel. It’s a romance, a story about an unhappy vampire who fell in love with Mina, a beautiful girl who reminded Dracula of the wife he had lost years ago. Later, vampires became part of mass culture. In the 20th century, Stoker’s book was the source of inspiration for film makers who started to make new versions of the story.

Эту тему я знаю отлично хоть и новичок
just watch movies and TV shows, and it's hard for me to surprise anyone. This series was recommended to me by a friend
I decided to watch it. HE'S MEEY HAS BEEN DRAWN. The series tells about the life of a group of teenagers. They live in a small town called Riverdale. Various interesting events take place in the city, and one of the teenagers somehow tells the audience about these events. Actors play very cool and are chosen correctly. It is very interesting to observe the developments and the relations between the main characters. Sometimes I had to cry, and laugh.
I really like the Riverdale series! I advise everyone to see
