Event
Vampires of New England & Secrets of Dracula
HISTORICAL HAUNTS is a collection of ghost stories based on documented people and events across America.
Dacre Stoker, great-grandnephew of Bram Stoker, author of Dracula, will kick off the evening by sharing rarely seen historical images and source materials that inspired the themes of "Dracula."
The evening culminates with a screening of Vampires of New England, a documentary which explores the gradual evolution of vampire mythology from stories concerning people afflicted with wasting disease to the aristocratic figure of "Dracula". The mindset of those who performed vampire exorcisms, a willingness to try anything when faced with the death of a loved one - is as relevant today as it was in the 19th century.
